Real Comfort Doesn’t Mean High Cost.

November 8, 2007

The fastest growing segment of the mattress industry in the last 10 years has been what has become known as the “specialty mattress” segment. The term, specialty mattress, actually covers all the latest technologies in the bedding industry: memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses, adjustable beds and air beds.These specialty mattresses differ greatly from each other in both construction and what types of sleep issues they’re best at resolving, but they share a common trait. Unlike the more traditional innerspring mattresses, they are inherently comfortable based just on their basic construction elements. You probably wouldn’t find much comfort in sleeping on a bed of steel springs… but sleeping on a mattress made of foam… even if its firm foam, latex, or air is very comfortable. Specialty beds and their core construction simply offer a substantial improvement in comfort over steel springs.

The difference between memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses, and air beds are about as different as all of these various specialty beds are from innerspring coil mattresses. And, there can be significant differences even within one segment… for instance, memory foam mattresses can provide different feels, properties and benefits from other memory foam mattresses.

Memory foam is probably the hottest segment in the mattress industry today. Memory foam’s cellular-composition possesses the unique property of providing uniform pressure to all body parts that come in contact with the mattress. And, by doing so, goes a long way in offering relief to those with sleep problems, pain issues, and even those with specific health conditions. Many people will find that memory foam mattresses can offer the ultimate in comfort, but there can be substantial variations in the feel of different manufacturers’ memory foams. Pricing can vary considerably as well. And, the highest priced mattresses don’t necessarily equate to the most comfortable mattresses or the longest-lasting ones. Get better acquainted with memory foam mattresses by visiting websites and making comparisons. In some cases, you’ll discover that the most profound difference is only price. And, after you make that determination… why pay more to buy the comfort you’re seeking?
