In my opinion, what we are doing is suggesting that the way the mattress industry is and has been conducting its business is anti-consumer and seems to almost border on intentional obfuscation of materials used. All you have to do is look at most S company web sites and I am betting (I have not done so yet) that you will find almost NO information on contents of the foams or springs - that is, no REAL information. Sure they'll mention their "revolutionary new spring design" or their "so-and-so special patented foam design" but nothing that anyone...

Why not keep it and do a foam-ectomy on it?

The CuddleBed does warm things up a little bit for me too.  It was perfect in the winter.  Over the summer we took it off for about 2 weeks and the bed slept slightly cooler, but we ended up putting it back on because we missed the feel of it.  I also blame our synthetic comforter for being a little hot (I hate it) and so now I just sleep with a thin sheet and the comforter barely on me.  Overall I'm happy with the temperature... I'm not getting too hot.  However next year I think I might try something else to substitute the CuddleBed during the summer months and just switch out with the seasons.  I do like to be a bit chilly when I sleep.

I do remember using those jersey fitted sheets back in college.  Man they are comfy against the skin but what I really remember about...

Are you saying that even though Sealy and Stearns & Foster are made in the same plant, they are not by the same people? Quilting?

Are you saying that Stearns and Fosters pocketed coil is an offset coil?

Are you saying that Simmons is no longer gluing their pocketed coil and instead are sewing them?

I believe that if this what you are saying that it is incorrect. Can anyone from Sealy or Simmons respond?...

Thanks for all your posts.  I've researched the contents of the Sealy SpringFree line by going to USMattress.com and looking at that Latex matress comparison.  It is not LI Latex, it's Sealy's own proprietary all synthetic latex.  I am not too hung up on it being synthetic, and it does have a lot of latex in it! I am still shopping around, but to me for the price, the Sealy SpringFree Firm, or Plush model is a great value for the money.  I am more concerned about durability and long term comfort, especially since the spring only bed that we have now is only 1 year old and it started giving us back pain (it was a pillow top).

In any case appreciate all your responses!  I am probably going to wait to see more responses.  I am trying to decide between the Firm and Plush model now....

Jim,

I'll leave Eagle and yourself to your crusade then. Perhaps you'll change the industry from this forum.

In regards to mattresses with different names, the manufacturers DO put the basic model of the mattress on the foot of the bed. You can use these models to cross shop. In Simmons they're called Classic, World Class, Exceptionale, and Black. In Sealy they're called Premier, Reserve, Signature, and Natural Origins.

Now there are some minor differences between beds within a specific model. For example, one World Class might use dacron while the other uses silk and wool in the ticking. One Exceptionale might have a latex top while the other has a memory foam but these differences are obvious and usually printed on the card next to the bed. For the most part the beds are similar enough for you to comparison shop.

Also no retailer that I've ever come in contact with that has...

Alright I've concluded my experiment.

I called three local mattress stores around town that all carried Sealy products. I posed as a mattress shopper and told them I was interested in a Sealy Posturepedic Signature series bed. I  asked them the following questions:

- What type of coil is in the mattress and can you describe it to me?

- What is the gauge of the coil?

- What types of foams are in the mattress?

- What kind of ticking is in the mattress?

Every single one of places I called gave me the correct information to these four questions. One guy had to ask another salesman for the gauge of the coil. This information is enough for 99% of the consumer world to make a buying decision. Just for Jim though I asked the following followups

-Can you tell me the exact thickness of each layer of foam?

-Can you tell me the ILDs of the...

I was out on errands today that happened to take me by a Bestbuy.

Remembering our conversation earlier, I went to the computer department and was promptly greeted by a smiling young man in a blue polo. He asked if he could help me. I replied yes, that I'd like to ask him a few questions about about the eMachine here. He smiled and began to tell me how it was a good machine for light gaming, photo work and web surfing. At the end I asked him if I could ask him a few more questions. I asked him what the average core temp was under a medium graphical load. He stared at me like I'd grown a nose out of my forehead (perhaps he didn't expect an older man to understand anything about these new-fangled computawhatsits?) I asked my question again saying that it was important because I did...

Hmm, no replies. Maybe I should be more specific.
