if you’re in the market to replace your old college futon mattress, why not make a lifetime investment in luxury… invest in a foam mattress.
i’m going to save you a few hours of research and a few trips to the mattress king by comparing the two popular brands of foam mattress on the market: sealy posturepedic vs tempurpedic.
Experts say the number one thing to look for when mattress shopping is body alignment. The latest Posturepedic Memory Foam mattresses help you to accomplish that with heavy-gauge steel coils that are hinged together for stability. Reviewers also say the Posturepedic line is better for heavier sleepers. However, many consumers like viscoelastic TempurPedic mattresses, and medical experts and chiropractors do say the TempurPedic foam bed can provide excellent spinal support, allowing your hips and shoulders to sink into the bed while supporting your legs and waist. But what do the experts sleep on themselves?
Did you know? more Orthopedic Surgeons sleep on a Sealy Posturepedic® mattress than any other mattress.
“Independent research confirmed that consumer purchase intent was higher for Sealy Posturepedic’s current TrueFormâ„¢ 9 Series and 11 Series models over Tempurpedic® Classic and Deluxe models.” (Source: Beall Research & Training, Inc. quantitative research, April 2005)
The best Sealy Posturepedic deal I’ve found on Ebay
I would agree that the mixed sprung and memory foam mattresess are better for the heavier frame, and memory foam beds overall offer a great sleep.
Tempurpedic has implemented Nasa’s technology to create mattress pads that will automatically react to your body’s shape, weight and temperature to provide you unsurpassed tempurpedic therapeutic support and comfort. The original formula for the tempurpedic mattress was developed in the early 1970s at Nasa’s Ames Research Center.
