The Best Mattress

We're often asked, "what is the best mattress?" The Mattress & Sleep Company believes this can be answered by understanding our philosophy, The Elastic Bed Principle.

Your mattress should be constructed of highly elastic materials for these three very simple reasons:

1. Elastic materials conform better to the complex shape of the human body.
2. Elastic materials rebound/bounce back to their original shape effortlessly, providing proper support from head to toe, and not just the heaviest parts of the body.
3. Elasticity IS support. It is very important to understand that ‘softness’ and ‘firmness’ are entirely separate metrics and are only loosely related to support. The elastic and conforming response of a softer spring is much more supportive to the human body than the firm and overly stiff support of the floor.

Platform Bed & Boxspring Guide

If you're investing in a new mattress, it's important to ensure that it is adequately supported. We have put together a Platform Bed & Boxspring Guide to help understand the importance of correct support, and we answer common questions about voiding mattress warranties and how to determine if your existing platform bed or boxspring will work with your new mattress.
