Mattress Buying Guide
Important Tips for Buying a Mattress Online
 Buying a Mattress Online is OK, We're here to help you choose from the comfort of your seat! Testing a mattress in a showroom certainly gives you a great idea of how comfortable, soft or firm your options are. In a showroom you can also see first-hand how the mattresses are constructed and what they look like, but if you know what to look for you don't have to be there in person to know you're getting a good quality mattress that will greatly improve your quality of sleep.
With are offering some of the highest quality mattresses on the market today, and you should feel confident and comfortable with buying online.
Our mattresses are offered in different styles and types: memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses, air mattresses, waterbeds and innerspring mattresses. Innerspring mattresses feature coiled metal springs layered between sheets of foam and padding (We do not sell any innerspring mattresses at this time). Foam and air mattresses do not contain the spring layer, but instead substitute higher-density foams for springs to provide back support at a lower cost.
Important Mattress Attributes:
Softness - To keep you well-rested and ache-free, a mattress must be soft at all contact points. When a mattress softly cushions every bone in your body, your sleep will be best.
Support - Mattresses should be firm enough to align your body correctly while you sleep; if the mattress is too soft, it will not support your neck and back and you will be sore when you wake.
Size - The 6 standard mattress sizes that you can choose from are (see our mattress size chart):
- Twin: 39" W x 75" L
- Extra Long Twin: 39" W x 80" L
- Full/Double: 54" W x 75" L
- Queen: 60" W x 80" L
- King: 78" W x 80" L
- California King: 72" W x 84" L
If you're sleeping with a partner and need more room, buy larger mattress that will give you personal space and rolling room. If your bedroom is small and not large enough to accommodate a big bed, buy a smaller twin or full size bed.

Mattress Components:
Ticking – The outermost layer of mattresses are made usually with a cotton-polyester blend. Our mattresses are an upgrade to this standard: Our mattresses feature the CoolMax® Fabric Cover, all-natural bamboo covers and more. 
Quilting and Top Padding– Mattresses generally have a few layers of padding underneath the ticking. Most mattresses have quilting made of foam or batting. Batting provides uniform softness. Our high-quality mattresses are made with luxurious blends of silk and natural wool fiber batting that provide twice the cushioning and breathability of normal quilting.
Middle Padding – Middle padding usually starts with convoluted foam, which feels softer than a flat slab of the same foam type. Convoluted foam spreads weight over a wider surface area, and the result is enhanced comfort. Other padding options include garnetted cotton (thick wads of batting that provide loft but compress quickly) and more foam layers of varied thickness and density. In our mattresses we offer great combinations of high-resiliency foam, latex core, and latex topper. The different layers of foam provide support and cushioning to give you the best sleep possible.
Insulated Padding – Insulated padding lies right on top of the springs to prevent them from being felt while you sleep. Common insulated fabric materials include matted fabric, plastic fibers, and coco padding (made from coconut husk fibers). Coco padding makes mattresses feel stiffer. Alternatives include plastic webbing and metal grids that may lie directly on top of springs to prevent them from destroying the pad above.
Extra Support – At the edges of the mattress extra dense foam adds extra support to the mattress, giving you a good place to sit and put on your slippers in the morning.
Coils – Innerspring mattresses offer coils inside the mattress which are configured in a number of different ways; possible coil configurations include hourglass, individual pockets and sense and respond coils.
* We do not sell any innerspring mattresses at this time.
Foundation (Box Spring) – The foundation can provide extra softness and comfort. As simply a wooden frame covered with boards, a wooden frame with springs or a metal frame with springs, foundations generally work better when purchased as a set since the sets are designed to work together. Our foundation and mattress sets provide the ultimate combination of support and cushioning, engineered to compliment each other for the best sleeping experience you'll ever have.
Memory Foam:
 Our mattresses feature luxurious NASA engineered body-conforming support from a layer of visco-elastic memory foam. With this specially designed top layer the sleeping surface can adapt exactly to your body's form -- it responds and reshapes itself while you move, providing unparalleled whole-body support.
Allergen Reduction:
Statistics tell us that 70% of asthma in the home can be attributed to an allergen present in the excretia from house mites. It is also a fact that the number of people, especially children, who are affected by this allergen rises dramatically each year. The incredible covers of our memory foam and latex mattresses provide allergy relief by actively repelling dust with its anti-microbial dust mite barrier.
We're confident that after you read our selection tips, investigate the quality of our mattresses' construction, compare our prices and free shipping offer to other mattress dealers, you won't be satisfied with anything less.
