| Q. |
How do I compare today's bedding to find the best mattress for our property's needs? |
| A. |
The best way to make a decision is to look at a firm and then a plush sleep set. Determine the comfort level desired for your property, then compare your comfort preference in three qualities of sleep sets top of the line, mid-range, lower range, and understand the differences of these price points. This comparison helps you make an informed decision. Know the type of sleep set and its significant features such as the type of innerspring unit, key comfort layers, type of edge support and significant features of the foundation.

| Q. |
Is coil count important in determining sleep system quality? |
| A. |
Coil count is a frequently-used and readily understood specification in sleep system selection. However, there are many elements in innerspring construction that interact with one another in a dynamic balance of flexibility and support to achieve overall mattress performance and deliver lasting sleep comfort. These include:
- Coil design, shape and height
- Number of turns
- Steel gauge and strength tempering
- Cross lacing method
|
| Q. |
Should the Foundation be replaced when purchasing new mattresses? |
| A. |
Yes! A good foundation is as important as a good mattress. It acts like a large shock absorber, taking a lot of the nightly wear and tear. And it contributes to comfort and support. Don't put a new mattress on an old foundation. An old foundation will cause the new mattress to wear unevenly and much more quickly. When selecting a mattress, purchase its companion foundation. The two are designed to work best together.

| Q. |
Why are some of today's beds so thick? The sheets don't fit! |
| A. |
Today's mattresses are manufactured with much more padding upholstery and comfort layers than before. Many consumers (who are also hospitality guests) prefer the plush and ultra-plush comfort that these thick mattresses provide. To accommodate the thick mattresses, you can purchase deep-pocketed sheets -- along with any sheet set that contains a 200 thread count.
|
| Q. |
Why are there so many different quilting designs? |
| A. |
The quilting design on a Sealy mattress cover helps determine the firmness or plushness of the sleep surface. If a quilting design is small and close, the bed will tend to feel firmer; if the design is large and spread out, the bed will usually feel plusher. Remember - when purchasing a Sealy Posturepedic sleep set, you get the correct support regardless of comfort level or price.
|
| Q. |
Are there ways to test the quality of a sleep system? |
| A. |
There are four sleep system tests. Check the results of these tests from any sleep system manufacturer from whom you are considering a purchase (the unit should be tested as a set - mattress and foundation):
- Repetitive Impact Durability Test (Cornell)
- Load Deflection Analyser
- Impact Drop Test
- ASTM Hexagonal Roller Test (Rollator)
