Comfort-
how the mattress feels, is a matter of personal preference. What feels comfortable
to one person may feel uncomfortable to another person. Therefore, whoever is
going to use the bed should try several different models before making a purchase.
Surface
comfort is determined by the UPHOLSTERY of the bed. Upholstery refers to the various
layers of material between your body and the innerspring. Both the type and thickness
of these materials will produce different levels of feel and therefore different
degrees of comfort.
So you'll need to determine your comfort
preference. Sealy Posturepedic mattresses are available in the following comfort
levels: firm, cushion firm, plush, and ultra plush. It's important to note, however,
that all Sealy Posturepedic sleep systems offer correct back support regardless
of firmness.
Support- Sealy Posturepedic sleep
systems offer correct back support regardless of firmness. This is the Sealy Posturepedic
heritage, designed in cooperation with orthopedic surgeons and patented in 1950.
The
myth "firmer is better" is not necessarily true. Your body type determines what
comfort is better for you.
A mattress that's too firm for your body will
not support all parts of the body evenly, and may cause discomfort at the body's
heaviest parts, the shoulders and hips. The increased pressure on these points
reduces blood circulation and will cause tossing and turning. This may result
in a poor night's sleep and a far less productive day.
A mattress that's
too soft for your body will not keep the spine in proper alignment. This will
cause your muscles to work through the night straighten the spine, again leaving
you tired and aching in the morning resulting in a less effective day.
Support
is a function of the INNERSPRING in the bed. The innerspring is located in the
center of the mattress. The type of support it provides depends on its coil configuration
and design. Our premium mattresses use coils of heavy gauge steel that are hinged
together for conformance and stability. The UniCased Edge system prevents edge
breakdown and roll-out tendencies while giving you uniform comfort and support
all the way to the edge. Solid edge support means you won't feel as though you're
going to slide off the mattress when lying or sitting near the edge.
Durability-
No doubt you want a sleep system that is going to last; therefore, durability
is very important.
The type of upholstery materials, and the type of steel,
and the design of the innerspring impact the durability of the mattress. For example,
our coil systems are heat tempered twice, which helps maintain their shape so
they last longer. Our UniCased Edge and Base optimize the performance of the Posturepedic
innerspring through its unibody design. The box spring, however, provides the
greatest measure of durability in a sleep set.
The purpose of the box spring
is to extend the life of the sleep system. It absorbs the major portion of stress
and weight placed on the sleep surface. It works much like a "shock absorber"
in a car's suspension to eliminate stress in the mattress unit and prolong the
mattress comfort life.
A worn-out box spring can shorten the life of a mattress
up to 50%. Not using a box spring with your mattress can also shorten the life
of the mattress. A properly designed box spring provides strong support along
with some flex.
