Mattresses & Foundations

It's one of the most comfortable places to snuggle into but almost impossible to leave. For many of us, it's easily our favorite spot to be – bed. With a good night's sleep under your belt, you can accomplish anything. However, when your mattress is getting in the way of the 8 hours, we all need to function at our best. If you find yourself waking up with aches and pains, swaddled in grogginess every morning – maybe it's time to invest in a new mattress.

Dive Into the History of Mattresses

The word mattress comes from the Arabic word, Matrah, meaning ‘something to throw down'. Early beds were just that – hearty fabric stuffed with materials such as horse hair, straw, and feathers. It wasn't until 1899, when the innerspring system was invented, that mattresses, as we know them today, came onto the market.

Types of Mattresses

Firm: Recommended for stomach and back sleepers, firm mattresses are an acquired taste. These mattresses are traditionally constructed using varying degrees of innerspring technology and do not have the same ‘staying power' as newer models. You can expect a spring mattress to last a minimum of 10 years.

Medium: This is the perfect comfort level for those who are predominately back sleepers. The right medium-firm mattress can work wonders on back pain and has been proven to help bring the spine into neutral alignment over time.

Soft: Like a firm mattress, a soft mattress is an acquired taste. Perfect for side sleepers, soft mattresses are generally available in high-density foam, memory foam, or high-quality latex core. Mattresses made from these materials are your best value as they can last two decades or more if well taken care of.
