What are some of the differences between Memory Foam & Coil mattresses?

Whether you are a first time buyer or a seasoned mattress consumer, buying a mattress can be confusing. Prices fluctuate, but the covers look the same. Coil mattresses come with many different sizes and amounts of coils. Companies use that to give a consumer a reason to buy a higher priced mattress. Memory foam has some of the same issues. Many memory foam competitors use three or four pound memory density. This foam costs less, yet companies put covers that look similar. Inexperienced salespeople will tell you memory foam is memory foam. But the key to buying a good memory foam bed is having 5.3 visco elastic memory foam or higher, which gives you the best warranty and the highest priced components in your sleeping system.

What does SleepLevel think of toppers?

Toppers do help mask the pressure of a coiled mattress or air bed. But, to get the true sensation of a pressureless sleep, coils or air cannot be present. Customers pre-judge the effects of memory foam when using a topper. They do not take into consideration that they are still putting the topper on a pressure performing bed.

Why no coils?

For many years, consumers in the mattress market knew no different. Coils are a spring product designed to hold a person's weight. In doing so, no matter how many coils a mattress has, whether it is 312 or 1000, it still puts pressure on the human spine. This causes the tossing and turning that many coiled mattress owners experience. Many years ago, there was no such thing as a pillow top mattress. Over the years, the emergence of pillow tops began, getting larger and larger to try and create a pressureless sleeping system. But until the coils are removed, coil manufacturers cannot attain that level. By putting pillow tops on mattresses, between the weight of the sleeper and the pressure of the coils, many consumers begin to experience body indentations in their pillow tops. Even when a mattress maker puts 4 inch cotton pillow top, they still just mask the pressure and result in a higher likeliness of creating body indentations, which are not covered by a warranty. SleepLevel Bed warranties the mattress against 3/4 of an inch body indention for ten full years.

What about pressure & airbeds?

SleepLevel Bed offers the one thing that airbeds and/or select number beds wish they could offer: The best pressureless sleep system in the industry! Air mattresses try to tell consumers to pick a level of comfort by making a mattress firmer or less firm. What they don't tell a consumer is to fill the air bag inside the mattress, they must use AIR PRESSURE. It doesn't matter whether it has a low level of air or a high level of air because of not having a hole in the bag, the air is trapped, which keeps it full, causing pressure. Pressure is the root of most people's tossing and turning as they try to sleep. As a side note, air mattresses, over the years have begun to fall into the same pattern as coiled mattresses, putting larger and larger pillow tops on their beds trying to help mask the pressure. This gives consumers the illusion of pressure relief.

Air mattresses offer separate levels of comfort in one unit. One major disadvantage is that two chambers force each party to sleep on one side or the other. When sleeping on a SleepLevel bed, the consumer has the advantage of sharing or having the whole sleeping surface to enjoy! SleepLevel Beds take each individual's weight and equally disperses it. Another advantage of a SleepLevel bed is that there are no motors, no tubes, and no electricity trying to give you a pressureless sleep.

Will Memory Foam sleep warm?

Competitors in the air bed or coil industry attempt to scare consumers by stating memory foam sleeps "hot". SleepLevel bed uses an airflow chamber that is between the memory foam layer and the HR foam. This chamber allows air to flow through the open cells creating the optimum air circulation.

Traditionally, cotton pillow top mattresses will sleep three to four degrees cooler than a properly made memory foam sleep system. However, cotton pillow top mattresses cannot give you a pressureless sleeping experience.

The top sellers for airbed companies and/or coil companies use memory foam pillow tops without airflow systems. Therefore, their brand sleeps "hot".
