Traditional Innerspring VS Posturepedic Technology

Eric, the Mattress King, is here to show you the difference between a traditional innerspring mattress and a Posturepedic Technology innerspring mattress. He has samples of what the springs look like so you can see the difference.



Traditional innersprings  are hand tied, on top of each other, and are the same all around the whole mattress. There is no space in between the different springs. This makes the coils function more like one unit.

With Posturepedic Technology, the innersprings are pocketed individually and are a little more separate from each other. In the head and foot areas the springs are closer and are on top of each other. In the center of the mattress is where 50% of your weight. The coils have more space in between. With this zigzag pattern of the individual coils in the middle, it allows you to have more support. With the Posturepedic Technology, your body will be a lot straighter and your center third will not cave into the mattress as much. This can help you support your back and core and stay level while you sleep during the night.

Stop by one of our stores to feel the difference yourself. You might be surprised as to how much it can help you sleep better.

3 Benefits of Adjustable Bases

There is one common statement that I hear from my customers who own an adjustable bases; “I Love it.” I have yet to have someone say they don’t.  There are three common reason and benefits to adjustable bases that everyone should consider that we can all share in.

1. Alleviation of pressure on the lower back and other problematic areas.  From my personal experience and my customers this is probably the largest benefit that we talk about.  When you lie on your back without an adjustable you might not notice the pressure and tightness in your lower back, but lift your head and feet slightly with an adjustable base and you can feel that pressure and tightness that you didn’t even know you had just ease away.  From a comfort standpoint this is the largest benefit and one that every loves. 
2. Ease of Reading and Watching TV.  We all have tried to lie in bed and read, holding the book over you head and having it fall in your face, propping our head up with pillows and getting a crick in our neck, or trying to watch TV and not able to get comfortable.  I take it for granted now that I can just lift my head up until I’m at the perfect angle to watch tv, work on my laptop and stay in my Pajamas.
3. Sleep Apnea, heart burn ect.  This is one of those things that depending on you talk to depends on the answer you get.  While it doesn’t fix or cure these issues I can tell you from personal experience that I don’t nearly have the same heart burn or acid reflux I use to.  Now I could probably just skip the evening snack, but it’s my favorite.  There are countless health benefits that have been reported for adjustable bases; from sleep apnea to helping with poor blood circulation.  Even if you don’t have poor circulation we could all benefit from a little help.

An adjustable base isn’t just about comfort in bed, while that is a great reason.  It’s about health, better sleeping, better support, and overall getting the type of sleep you deserve that makes you feel refreshed and ready to go in the morning. I would say it’s not for everyone but as a stomach sleeper my self; switching to an adjustable base and sleeping on my back, I have never felt better!

What problems do you have sleeping? I bet that an adjustable base can help. Give us a call at one of our 16 store locations.
