Great Mattress Reviews

We have narrowed our selection for our new mattress down to 3 mattresses; Spring Air Nature's Best Nature 2.5" of latex, Spring Air 4 Seasons Regal Plush and the Simmons Beautyrest Plush firm. My wife and I are slender build, but have experienced pressure points in the hip and shoulders with our Englander Parisian. We want to make our choice, the last choice for a while. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bo. How long is a while? Where mattresses are concerned, I consider 4 years or so to be a short while. Most of what you can buy today won't last that long and the ones you're considering are among that group. There are only a few mattresses from Simmons that I would recommend and none of them say "Beautyrest" on the label. There is nothing worth buying in the Spring Air line, except at their lower end.

Simmons Mattresses started making mattresses in 1870 in Wisconsin. Today, they are one of America’s largest mattress manufacturers with 18 plants across the US and Puerto Rico.

While Simmons sells hundreds of mattresses, the bulk of their products can be categorized into 5 major product lines.

Sometimes when searching for a comfortable bed, the typical more affordable mattresses, higher expense options like Select Comfort, or air beds just won’t meet the need. If instead you’re shopping specifically for a Simmons mattress, keep reading.

Simmons Beautyrest

The Beautyrest line of Simmons mattresses was made infamous by the company’s advertisement which featured a bowling ball dropping on a mattress without disturbing the pins on the other side. It’s that kind of mattress technology that allows a couple to sleep without disturbing one another.

Essentially, the Beatyrest mattress creates isolated sleep regions by using hundreds of individual and independent PocketCoil springs. When you move in your sleep, that movement is isolated to the individual coils. The Beautyrest mattress comes in almost twenty different models and sizes, including a PillowTop option.

Latex mattresses are made from naturally derived biodegradable products. Latex is usually derived from the rubber tree. The main advantage of Latex is that bacteria, mildew and mold cannot live when latex used in the mattresses. The next advantage is that latex can last up to 30 or more years. Latex mattress can be the ideal mattress especially for athletes, patients and aged people. The Natural Care bed by Danny Seo is made from natural rubber tree and they are soft yet supportive too and thus help to eliminate the pressure points across the entire body of the person using the Latex mattresses. Latex is not only comfortable and at the same time supportive but also hypoallergenic.

To choose the right kind of mattresses you need to lie down on each mattress in the show room and then decide upon the right kind of mattress which would suit your need. Generally the latex mattresses are always been made with holes in them and these holes usually soften the latex and thus makes the sleeping experience a more comfortable one. As the holes are larger the comfort level will also increase. At times these cores are been made with different sections of latex with complete different sized holes and thus the bed will also have different zones for different parts as it would be soft under the shoulders and feet and would be firm under the hips.

Minute carbon threads in the deliciously soft, knitted mattress cover are clinically proven to conduct static electricity away from your body, leaving you properly relaxed. In fact clinical trials prove you could gain up to 20 minutes of deep sleep extra per night!
The No Stress Serenity has a very high specification in every respect, so it's not only the cover that will give you no stress! Eight handles to the double mattresses, two square vents, a microquilted top and a side stitch border are the visible testament to the Serenity's quality. And for the essential sleep factor, lots of pocket springs, topped by a very generous 50mm of memory foam, means deep comfort awaits.

Known for its high quality mattresses, Sealy is one of the largest producers of bedding material in North America. With a huge selection of mattresses and box springs, Sealy has gained an excellent reputation for its products around the world. Some of the most popular models of Sealy products include the TrueForm, Posturepedic and SpringFree designs.

TrueForm

Manufactured from high quality memory foam, the TrueForm mattress line offers consumers an excellent blend of comfort and practicality. The unique nature of memory foam to mold to the body makes it an unbelievably comfortable material for those who like a mattress that is both soft and supportive. The visco-elastic foam is sensitive both to the pressure of a body sleeping on it and to the body heat, allowing it to conform to a person's unique sleeping position.

TrueForm mattresses are specially designed to distribute a person's weight evenly, reducing the pressure in areas such as the shoulders and hips. The nature of memory foam is especially suitable for this purpose as it gives in exactly the right places while remaining supportive in low pressure zones such as the back. As you move through the night the foam slowly springs back into place supporting the new sleep position in a secure and comfortable way. Because of its nature, memory foam offers sleepers orthapedically secure support throughout the night.

When buying a new mattress, why is it so urgent that the box spring be replaced? I can't see why it's necessary. What are some suggestions when looking for a new mattress?

A A new box isn't necessary if the old one doesn't have rips, warps, creaks, or "give," according to Consumer Reports Magazine.

On the other hand, the Better Sleep Council, a nonprofit organization supported by the mattress industry, warns that pairing a new mattress with a foundation it wasn't designed to work with will impede comfort and reduce the useful life of your new mattress.

On the sales room floor you may be told that the mattress and box spring are designed to work together. Indeed, the material cover on the new mattress and older box spring won't match, and, depending on the mattress you are buying, it might be inadequately supported by the old box spring. You might also hear that you must include a box spring to protect the mattress warranty. But be sure you read just what the warranty covers.

While a spring mattress was the standard for many decades, foam mattresses are becoming more and more popular due to their unsurpassed comfort and overall body support. While spring mattresses can feel nice to sit or lay on, they will not offer anywhere close to the body contouring and therefore spinal support that memory or latex foam can offer. It will actually cause a trampoline effect and bend inward when pressure is applied without conforming to the specific bumps and curves of the body. While foam can shrink over time, springs can bend and lose their shape over time. Therefore, an old foam bed will likely feel better and offer better support than an old spring mattress.

Memory Vs. Latex Foam

Latex foam has a higher elasticity or resiliency than memory foam. The result is that latex will feel more springy and memory foam will feel more solid. Therefore, Memory foam will not push back up against your body upon pressure being applied to it. Many mattress companies are using both of these two materials to blend the perfect mattress combination. Rare allergies to latex can be triggered, but usually upon skin contact, and not usually not with the natural and synthetic latex mixes like Talay. This is because the proteins thought to trigger these rare allergies are usually washed away in the Talay latex foam produced in the U.S. Talay latex is a more supple version of latex. It is more expensive and is composed of synthetic and natural latex. Because there is no chemicals used in latex composition, it is the ILD only, that determines the feel of this product.

A Tempur-Pedic mattress classic mattress is eight inches thick and has two layers. The top layer is composed of three inches of a 5.3 lb. visco-elastic foam that has a listed ILD rating of 14. The bottom layer of the mattress is composed of 5 inches of 3.5lb., non-visco elastic, High density polyurethane. It has a cover that is composed of a soft, cotton-like material over a plastic-like stretchable material. The advantage of the plastic-like material under the cotton material is that it offers a water proofing for the foam below; the disadvantage would be less breath ability and more difficulty washing it. You can purchase an additional platform base if you do not already have a solid enough one.

Other companies are now offering a two layer 4lb.- 6lb. visco-elastic material and some even offer other types of materials that are layered throughout the mattress. They also offer a wide variety of ILD ratings, but the most common are 8-20. They are using everything from the thinner cotton-type cover, to a more bulky wool or quilted cover. While these bulkier covers will feel softer to the touch, the disadvantages are that they will take away form the memory foam feel and contouring of the body. Wool covers will be warmer in the winter and hotter in the summer. The cotton type of covers can wick away moisture, but you may want to get an easily removable one, so you can wash it every so often. They offer thinner and thicker sizes, but eight inches usually suffices. If you have a solid platform base already, then it is not necessary to order one at the time you make your purchase. However, you may need to order one if you loose integrity in your base down the line.

With all of this said, perhaps the biggest reason many consumers choose to go with a different mattress company would be price. While Tempur-Pedic® is not the most expensive out there, there are companies offering memory foam mattresses at significant price reductions.

In the early 1970's, NASA's Ames Research Center funded a development project designed to create a substance that could help relieve astronauts of the incredible g-forces experienced during lift-off. They believed that one of the key secrets to reducing g-forces on the body was to use a foam material that could conform to each person's shape and hold this conformity. While a foam mold of each astronaut's body shape could accomplish this, any movement would take a person out of this position and create incorrect pressure points against the body. Instead, they created a new foam material that was visco-elastic and therefore able to conform to a person's shape, but then come back to a normal shape once pressure was removed from the foam. This could allow an even distribution of pressure or body weight over the entire surface of the foam, but quickly adapt to any movements of the body.
