Mattress coil /foam information
Tempurpedic TEMPUR® material is viscoelastic and made up of billions of spherical shaped, open cells that are temperature and weight sensitive, allowing it to become softer in warmer areas (where your body is making the most contact with the surface) and remain firmer in cooler areas (where less body contact is being made). Therefore, Tempur material is able to conform to any body shape or size even the hard to reach lumbar area of your back. Foam is not as sensitive to temperature and will not conform to your body's unique shape.
By definition, latex is a rubber particle suspended in water. There are 2 types; NR or natural rubber and SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) or man made latex. All latex is either a blend of the two or 100% natural latex.
Brazil provided the world with the rubber tree, hevea brasiliensis. In 1876 the British government exported seedlings to London for further development. From there seedlings were exported to Sri Lanka and Indonesia where they thrived and the tapping technique was discovered. Over the next several decades the British in Sri Lanka and the Dutch in Indonesia cleared vast amounts of rain forest to create the rubber tree plantations of today.
Memory foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that increase its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. Depending on the chemicals used and its overall density, it is firmer in cool temperatures and softer when warm. Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat which allows it to mould itself to the shape of a warm body within a few minutes. A lower density memory foam is pressure-sensitive and will mould more quickly to the shape of the body. The example often used to demonstrate its properties is that a hand pressed into the foam and then removed will leave a clear impression in the foam.
Pocket coil mattresses offer one big advantage over traditional spring mattresses: you aren't disturbed by your partner's tossing and turning. Unlike conventional spring mattresses, each spring is contained in its own pocket, so move movement of one spring doesn't cause movement of other around it. The pocket coil mattress isn't new; Simmons has been producing a pocket coil mattress since 1925. Trademarked as the “Do Not Disturb” mattress, Simmons claims that its pocketed coil reduces more motion between partners than any other mattress in the industry today. Depending on the size of the mattress and other options, the Simmons Beautyrest ranges from mid-price range to expensive.
Grid tied systems are compromised of a thick edge wire extending around the entire mattress at the top and bottom. The springs are connected to these wires,each spring is inter locked from one to the until achieving a full grid of springs

Mattress Inspection Which is Part of of the Furniture Repair Industry is Designed by mattress and Bedding Manufacturers to Determine if a mattress is defective and requires Replacement according to the specific warranty guide lines set by the mattress producer. Although guide lines may vary from one manufacturer to another, most mattress inspections involve approximately the same procedures. First the mattress in question must be in good condition and free of any stains or abuse, second the mattress must have the proper frame or support system, After these two qualifications are met The coil system is checked for any that may be detached and the modules and frame work of the box spring for any breaks are checked.Then all the stitching on the tape edges around the sides top and bottom and the skip stitch on the top of the mattress which may be sewn in in a variety of decorative designs, this holds the very top layer of foam in place are checked for defects. Finally the mattress top is measured for a body impression measuring the depth of the impression if the depth exceeds the manufactures allowance or if any of the above steps are found not to be within the manufacturer guide lines the Purchaser may be validated with a replacement mattress. If The mattress passes the guidelines and is up to manufacturer standards replacement is denied. A mattress warranty depending on the manufacturer can generally span from 10 to 20 Years.
