Sleep Number C2 Mattress Review: Must-Have for Best Sleep

Sleep Number C2 Mattress Review

The Sleep Number C2 Mattress is the most popular of the Sleep Number offerings. It is also the most affordable with a queen size coming in at about $1,200 after delivery. What makes Sleep Number unique among other mattresses is that it has a dual air chamber below the comfort layer of foam that can be adjusted for firmness by letting air in or out of the mattress. All of this is controlled by a quiet pump that is connected to each side so that one side can be firm and the other soft.

Overview of the Sleep Number C2 Mattress

Here’s a quick video overview of the mattress and my experience so far. This is a more complicated mattress than the typical 3 layer foam mattresses I have reviewed so I definitely want to take more time with it to make sure I cover everything.

Ordering Your Select Comfort C2 Mattress

You can order this mattress direct from their website. I opted to purchase the standalone remote which is an extra and the integrated base to ensure that the mattress was on a solid surface to ensure I get the full experience. In the picture above it is on a slatted bed. normally I would put this on a metal bed frame made for a box spring.

After placing my order I received an email to download their App to track my sleep and adjust the bed.

My mattress took about a couple weeks to arrive. You will receive a call to schedule a delivery day and then get a call the morning of delivery with a time window. On delivery day a branded truck arrived. I really like that this company has their own delivery staff and recognizable truck.

Sleep Number Delivery

The delivery staff also called when they were about 15 minutes away so I could prepare for their arrival. I can’t speak highly enough of the delivery staff who were super friendly, knowledgeable about the product and helpful.

My mattress arrived in two boxes. The smaller box contains the cover, fire sock and mechanical pieces and the other box is the comfort layer.

Sleep Number C2 Box

The delivery staff will set everything up and even haul away my old mattress if needed, this is all included in the $199 delivery fee. The first step was the integrated base below. This basically comes assembled and I highly recommend it because it keeps all the hoses hidden and ensures that the mattress is on a solid, even surface.

Sleep Number Base

Here’s the panel in the base where you can access the tubes.

The first step is to put the cover down then put the fire sock which is a fire retardant barrier over that.

After that you put down the comfort layer. This is all done upside down so the top of the mattress is facing downwards this makes it easier to insert the air chambers then flip the mattress after its all put together.

The comfort layer also has foam around the sides so that you don’t feel the air chambers and have a bit better edge support.

Here’s another shot of the comfort layer as it takes shape.

After this then the fire sock gets wrapped around the comfort layer.

Finally the cover then goes around the sides and gets ready for the air chamber to go inside.

How Much Does the Sleep Number C2 Cost?

Below are the current prices from their website. From what I have seen, Select Comfort will have sales throughout the year so keep an eye out for those sales which usually occur around minor holidays like President’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Black Friday.

Construction of the Sleep Number C2 

There isn’t a whole lot of information on the construction of this mattress but that’s probably because it isn’t made like a typical mattress.

Cover: Rayon and polypropylene blend fabric, designed for breathability and comfort.

Comfort Layer: Soft fiberfill sewn into the top, providing thin cushioning and body contouring.

Air Chambers: One or two chambers depending on size, made of durable materials for long-lasting use. Each chamber offers individual firmness adjustment to find your ideal Sleep Number setting.

Base Layer: Supportive foam base ensures stability and prevents sagging.

Key Points:

  • Simple and affordable adjustable mattress.
  • Basic cooling through the fiberfill and air chambers.
  • Suitable for budget-conscious buyers seeking basic adjustability.

Additional Information:

  • 8 inches thick.
  • Air chambers covered by a waterproof liner.
  • 15-year warranty.

My Sleep Number C2 Findings

You get a lot of variation with the firmness which is what makes this mattress so attractive to couples. Especially couples that have drastically different preferences. To illustrate how versatile this mattress is I put some bowling balls on the mattress. The left side is at 50 and the right side is at 100.

Sleep Number Sinkage

In the picture below I now put the left side at 5 which is the lowest setting and the right is at 100, the firmest setting.

Sleep Number C2 Firmness

There are two ways you can adjust the firmness the first is with a standard remote which you can purchase separately for $39

Sleep Number Remote

This mattress is great for isolating motion between you and your partner. The air chamber underneath is separate on each side so that you won’t feel your partner moving around. Below is a video that shows me bouncing a 14 lb. bowling ball on the left side of the mattress.

My Sleep Number C2 Recommendation

Sleep Number is a great choice if you have significantly different firmness preferences than your partner. The C2 is a great introduction to the brand because you get access to all their technology. People looking for a more plush feel should take a look at the other models such as the P5 or P6 which have 5 inches of comfort layers as opposed to the C2 which has 2 inches of the comfort layer.

This is a relatively expensive mattress but you do get quite a bit of technology though. I also think if you want to make it plusher, you could look at purchasing a memory foam topper on Amazon and add it to the mattress to make it softer. Since the more plush option such as the P6 is $2,599 for a queen size and the only difference I can tell is 3 more inches of foam.

This is still a preliminary review and I will be updating content as I have more time with the mattress.

How Long Will a Sleep Number Last?

Sleep Number mattresses are designed to last 15 years or more. This is due to the high-quality materials used in their construction, as well as their unique design. Sleep Number mattresses use air chambers to provide support, which can be adjusted to each individual’s sleep preferences. This helps to reduce pressure on the body and prevents the mattress from sagging over time.

However, it is important to note that the lifespan of a Sleep Number mattress will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

  • How often the mattress is used. Mattresses that are used every night will naturally wear out faster than those that are used less often.
  • How well the mattress is cared for. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help to extend the life of your mattress.
  • The weight and sleeping habits of the users. Heavier users and those who sleep in restless positions may put more wear and tear on their mattresses.

Here are some tips for extending the lifespan of your Sleep Number mattress:

  • Rotate your mattress every 3-6 months. This will help to distribute wear and tear evenly.
  • Use a mattress protector. This will help to keep your mattress clean and free of allergens.
  • Avoid jumping on or sitting on the edge of your mattress. This can damage the air chambers and shorten the life of your mattress.
  • Regularly clean your mattress. You can use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.

If you notice any signs that your Sleep Number mattress is wearing out, such as sagging, lumps, or tears, it is time to replace it. A worn-out mattress can lead to poor sleep quality and other health problems.

Sleep Number Lumbar Support

Sleep Number mattresses are designed to provide adjustable support to the entire body, including the lumbar region. However, some people may still need additional lumbar support, especially if they have back pain.

There are a few ways to add lumbar support to a Sleep Number mattress:

  • Adjust the air pressure in the mattress. A firmer mattress will provide more lumbar support. You can adjust the air pressure in each side of the mattress independently, so you can find the perfect level of support for your back.
  • Use a lumbar pillow. A lumbar pillow can be placed behind your lower back to provide additional support. Sleep Number offers a variety of lumbar pillows, including the Rest & Read™ Pillow and the Bolster Pillow.
  • Use a mattress wedge. A mattress wedge can be placed under your hips and lower back to elevate them and reduce pressure on your spine. Sleep Number does not offer mattress wedges, but they are available from other retailers.

If you have back pain, it is important to talk to your doctor about the best way to support your back while you sleep. They may recommend a specific type of mattress or pillow, or they may suggest other treatments, such as physical therapy or medication.

Here are some additional tips for choosing the right lumbar support for your Sleep Number mattress:

  • Consider your sleeping position. If you sleep on your back, you will need a different type of lumbar support than if you sleep on your side or stomach.
  • Consider your body type. If you are petite, you may need a smaller lumbar pillow than if you are plus-size.
  • Consider your budget. Lumbar pillows and mattress wedges can range in price from affordable to expensive.

Sleep Number Sagging Issues

Sleep Number mattresses are designed to be resistant to sagging, but they can still sag over time. Here are some of the reasons why:

  • Wear and tear. Mattresses naturally wear out over time, especially if they are used every night. The air chambers in Sleep Number mattresses are also subject to wear and tear.
  • Overinflation. If you overinflate your Sleep Number mattress, it can put stress on the air chambers and lead to sagging.
  • Uneven weight distribution. If you sleep in the same position every night, it can put more wear and tear on that part of the mattress and lead to sagging.
  • Manufacturing defects. In rare cases, Sleep Number mattresses may have manufacturing defects that can lead to sagging.

If you notice that your Sleep Number mattress is sagging, there are a few things you can do:

  • Adjust the air pressure. If the mattress is sagging in the middle, try increasing the air pressure in that area.
  • Rotate the mattress. Rotating your mattress every 3-6 months will help to distribute wear and tear evenly.
  • Use a mattress protector. A mattress protector will help to keep your mattress clean and free of allergens, and it can also help to extend the life of your mattress.
  • Contact Sleep Number. If the mattress is still sagging after you have tried all of the above, you may need to contact Sleep Number for warranty service.

Here are some tips for preventing your Sleep Number mattress from sagging:

  • Avoid overinflation.
  • Rotate the mattress every 3-6 months.
  • Use a mattress protector.
  • Avoid jumping on or sitting on the edge of the mattress.
  • Replace the mattress when it is worn out.

How Much Do Sleep Number Mattresses Acutally Cost?

The real cost of a Sleep Number mattress will vary depending on the size and model of the mattress, as well as any additional accessories you purchase, such as a base, sheets, and pillows.

Sleep Number mattresses range in price from $999 for the Sleep Number 360® C2 Smart Bed to $5,099 for the Sleep Number 360® i10 Smart Bed. The average price of a Sleep Number mattress is around $3,500.

Overall, the real cost of a Sleep Number mattress can range from $1,500 to $7,000 or more, depending on the size, model, and accessories you choose.

Here are some tips for getting the best deal on a Sleep Number mattress:

  • Shop during a sale. Sleep Number often has sales throughout the year, especially during holidays and major shopping events.
  • Consider buying a refurbished mattress. Sleep Number sells refurbished mattresses at a discounted price. These mattresses are inspected and certified by Sleep Number, and come with the same warranty as new mattresses.
  • Use a coupon or promo code. Sleep Number often offers coupons and promo codes to customers. You can find these coupons and promo codes online or in Sleep Number stores.

  • Air chamber leaks: Air chambers are the heart of Sleep Number beds, and they can eventually leak or become punctured. This can cause the mattress to lose air and become uncomfortable.
  • Remote control problems: Sleep Number remote controls have been known to malfunction, making it difficult to adjust the air pressure in the mattress.

Anthropologie Sectionals: Stunning Options & Smart Value!

Anthropology Sectional

Anthropologie has etched a distinct identity, combining bohemian aesthetics with modern sophistication. The brand’s journey, marked by thoughtful curation and a distinctive store experience, offers an insightful tale of retail innovation and evolution.

The Birth of a Vision:

Anthropologie sprouted its roots in 1992 in Wayne, Pennsylvania. A brainchild of the minds behind URBN Inc. (formerly known as Urban Outfitters Inc.), Anthropologie was conceptualized as a more mature, upscale counterpart to Urban Outfitters, targeting women in their 30s and 40s as opposed to the latter’s younger demographic.

Curation and Store Experience:

What set Anthropologie apart from the very beginning was its unique approach to retail. Every store, rather than just being a shopping space, was a meticulously crafted experience. Interiors resembled artful, eclectic homes, inviting customers into a world that married vintage charm with contemporary fashion. The products, from clothing to home dĂ©cor, were curated with an artist’s touch, emphasizing uniqueness and craftsmanship.

Growth and Expansion:

Buoyed by its early success and distinctive brand identity, Anthropologie embarked on an expansion journey. By the turn of the 21st century, it had established a formidable presence across the United States. But the brand didn’t stop at domestic shores; it eyed international horizons. The first European Anthropologie store opened in London in 2009, marking the beginning of its global footprint.

Challenges and Evolution:

As with any major brand, Anthropologie faced its share of challenges. The retail landscape, especially with the onset of the digital age and the rise of e-commerce, demanded adaptability. The brand grappled with balancing its unique in-store experience with the convenience of online shopping. Furthermore, competition from both high-end boutiques and accessible fast-fashion outlets necessitated constant innovation.

In response, Anthropologie refined its product lines, introduced more inclusive sizing, and began collaborating with renowned designers and artists to offer exclusive collections. Their stores started hosting events, workshops, and collaborations, further enhancing their community-centric approach.

Commitment to Sustainability and Ethical Practices:

Reflecting global shifts towards sustainability, Anthropologie, in the recent past, has made strides to embed eco-friendliness and ethical sourcing into its brand ethos. The stores began showcasing a broader range of sustainable products, highlighting artisanal craftsmanship, and advocating for fair-trade practices.

Legacy and Present Day:

Today, Anthropologie stands as a beacon in lifestyle retail, having grown from a single boutique to a global brand without losing its essence. Its stores, whether in New York or London, still exude that distinctive Anthropologie charm, offering not just products but experiences. As the retail landscape continues to evolve, Anthropologie’s journey serves as a testament to the power of brand identity, adaptability, and customer-centric innovation.

Anthropologie’s Foray into Furniture: Charting New Terrains in Retail

In the continuously evolving landscape of retail, brands often explore avenues beyond their initial offerings to remain relevant and meet the multifaceted needs of their clientele. Anthropologie, renowned for its bohemian and upscale fashion collections, took a significant leap in this direction when they decided to delve into the world of furniture.

It was in the mid-2000s that Anthropologie introduced furniture to its extensive line of products. Recognizing a gap in the market for uniquely curated, artful, and high-quality furniture pieces that resonated with their brand ethos, the move seemed like a natural progression. The brand’s distinctive aesthetic, which had already captivated its audience in the realms of clothing and smaller home goods, was meticulously translated into larger furniture pieces.

The introduction of furniture not only expanded Anthropologie’s product offerings but also further solidified its position as a holistic lifestyle brand. Just as with their fashion and decor items, Anthropologie’s furniture line showcased a blend of vintage charm, global inspirations, and contemporary designs. This range quickly became popular among consumers who sought distinctive pieces that made a statement.

Today, Anthropologie’s furniture collection, including everything from plush sofas to ornate coffee tables, is integral to its brand identity, reinforcing its reputation as a curator of unique, artful, and high-quality lifestyle products.

Warranty and Trial Period

As with any premium brand, customer satisfaction, durability, and quality assurance remain paramount. Here, we delve into the warranty and trial period provisions for Anthropologie’s furniture range.

Warranty Provisions:

While Anthropologie stands firmly behind the quality and craftsmanship of its products, the specifics of warranty coverage can vary based on the particular furniture piece. Typically, their warranty covers:

  1. Manufacturing defects and structural issues.
  2. Any significant deviation from the product’s description or image provided on their platform.
  3. Damages incurred during the shipping or delivery process.

However, it’s important to note that normal wear and tear, damages incurred due to misuse or accidents, or any issues arising from modifications made to the furniture post-purchase might not be covered under their warranty.

Trial Period & Return Policy:

As of my last update in January 2022, Anthropologie does not offer a specific “trial period” for its furniture akin to some mattress or direct-to-consumer brands. However, they do have a return policy in place:

  1. Furniture and other oversized items might be returned within a stipulated period, typically 30 days from the date of delivery. However, a restocking fee could be applicable.
  2. The items must be in their original condition and packaging to qualify for a return.
  3. Custom-made or personalized items might not be eligible for returns unless there’s a defect or error on Anthropologie’s part.

Customers are always encouraged to review the specific terms provided at the time of purchase or consult Anthropologie’s official channels or customer service for the most up-to-date information regarding warranty and return policies.

Hospital Bed: Must-Have Comfort for Home Care

Best Hospital Beds

Many people have special needs that require something more than a regular bed. That’s when they should be given a hospital bed. People usually purchase hospital beds for home use for sick, aging, or disabled family members. They are called hospital beds because they have all the features of the beds found in a medical facility. Hospital beds provide the same comfort right at home to those who need more than a traditional bed.

The use of hospital beds for home use has been on the rise because of the increasing number of disabled or aging people have been living at home and cared for by family members. This is done to avoid the cost of a professional caregiver or facility. Injured people also sometimes require hospital beds, especially in cases of a hip or leg fracture. Hospital beds are more expensive than a regular bed, the reason why many people choose to rent instead of buying one. But once you do not require the bed anymore, you can resell or donate it to someone who needs it. Rented hospital beds are best for those who need it for a short while. If you have a long-term requirement, purchasing a bed is more cost-effective.

If you are planning to purchase a hospital bed, in this post, we help you choose the right one.

Types of Hospital Beds

The common feature of all hospital beds is adjustability. Based on this, a number of hospital bed types are available. Each has its own adjustment options and different features and price points. Here we discuss the most popular types of hospital beds available today.

Fully-Electric Hospital Bed

This type of hospital bed is completely powered electronically and usually comes with a remote. With the help of the remote control, the height of the entire bed or different parts of it can be adjusted. Most beds also have buttons on the size of the bed in case the remote doesn’t work. With the remote control, the patient themselves can adjust the bed. In case the caregivers do not want the patient to use the remote control to maneuver the bed, the remote can be stopped using, and only the buttons on the side of the bed can be used. The buttons are only accessible by someone outside of the bed. Operating a fully electric hospital bed is very easy and effortless and can be done by anyone. Since there is no effort required in maneuvering these beds, they have a higher price tag and happen to be some of the most expensive types of hospital beds.

Semi-Electric Hospital Bed

Many people prefer to have a manual option to operate the bed, besides a remote control or buttons. In this case, a semi-electric hospital bed works great. They work mostly like the fully electric versions but in addition have a hand crank for adjusting the height of the bed. The presence of both electric and manual options together is a plus and helps in case the electronic option fail to work for any reason. However, the manual options require more effort, and that explains the slightly lower price tag. But because they also have electronic features, they are not the cheapest.

Manual hospital bed

As the name suggests, this type of hospital beds do not have any electronic features and require to be manually adjusted. Although they are the cheapest available hospital beds today, they also require a lot of effort, and cannot be operated by someone who doesn’t have the physical strength.

Low Hospital Bed

This type of hospital beds is ideal for patients who have a risk of falling down from the bed or have mobility issues and want to be able to get in and out of bed more easily. They are completely adjustable, but their overall height is much lower than other hospital beds. They usually are designed to be within a foot of the floor. The height can only be adjusted within a much smaller range. There are no manual low hospital beds, and they are almost always fully electric.

Bariatric Hospital Bed

Going by the name of the bed, they are built to support heavyweight patients. They are also fully electric and require no manual effort to adjust the bed. The weight capacity of these beds is much greater than other hospital beds, and they also have a wider mattress area. Because they are larger, heavier, and sturdier, bariatric hospital beds are more expensive than other options and usually the last resort when a regular hospital bed cannot support the weight of the patient.

Trendelenburg Hospital Bed

These beds have become popular in recent years because of the adjustment options they offer. Whether the patient is paralyzed, has mobility issues, is injured, or in therapy, the Trendelenburg bed offers the highest number of adjustment options. Besides adjusting only the height and the foot of the bed, different parts of the bed can be individually adjusted to the maximum level. For instance, the foot can be inclined to the highest level to resemble a recliner chair, and also allow zero-gravity features with the head lower than the feet. When patients use these beds, there is no need for special pillows. However, the bed also requires a greater space and needs to be put in a larger room. Among hospital beds, the Trendelenburg beds have the maximum functionality, adjustability, and fully electric features, the reason why they are also the most expensive type of hospital bed.

Are Hospital Beds Covered by Medicare?

Hospital beds are included in medical supplies. Because they are highly expensive, most people rely on health or medical insurance to purchase a hospital bed. The question is: is a hospital bed at home covered by Medicare, the most popular type of medical insurance?

Yes, Medicare does cover the purchase of hospital beds, only if you prove that you have a medical necessity that requires it. In addition, you have to be covered by Medicare Part B and also be assessed by your doctor, who must provide written documentation of your medical records and prescribe the bed for you. The supplier also has to receive the order before Medicare is billed.

You qualify for a hospital bed if you:

  • Cannot change positions on a normal bed
  • Cannot sleep like a regular person on a normal bed
  • Cannot sleep without the head of the bed higher than 30 degrees, because of medical conditions like breathing problems, congestive heart failure, etc.
  • Need to use traction attached to a bed
  • Have a completed, signed and dated Certificate of Medical Necessity by your doctor

Hospital Bed vs. Adjustable Beds

Both hospital beds and adjustable beds offer customizable comfort and support to users, but they differ significantly in their primary purposes, features, and pricing. In this comparison, we’ll explore the key distinctions between the two in order to help you make an informed decision when considering your options.

Purpose:

Hospital beds are specifically designed for medical settings to cater to the needs of patients with various health conditions. They are intended to provide maximum comfort, facilitate medical treatment, and ensure ease of care for both patients and healthcare professionals.

  2. Electronic or manual controls for adjusting bed position
  3. Lockable wheels for easy mobility and stability

  5. Optional built-in equipment such as IV poles, over-bed tables, or patient lifts

  2. Customizable head and foot elevation
  3. Massage and heat settings for added relaxation
  4. Various mattress types, including memory foam and innerspring
  5. Compatibility with standard bed frames and headboards

Pricing:

Hospital beds tend to be more expensive than adjustable beds, primarily due to their specialized features and medical-grade components. Insurance coverage may offset some of the cost, depending on the individual’s medical needs and policy details.

Adjustable beds are typically more affordable and accessible for general consumers. They come in a wide range of prices, depending on factors such as brand, size, and additional features. Financing options may also be available, making adjustable beds more accessible for those on a budget.

Mattress Brands: Stunning Options for Effortless Sleep

The History of Mattress Brands in the United States

Beginnings

The history of mattress brands in the U.S. can be traced back to the 19th century. Before the proliferation of brands, mattresses were handmade, often stuffed with straw or feathers. The late 1800s saw the first wave of commercially manufactured mattresses, a shift that set the foundation for the burgeoning industry.

Pioneers of the Trade

  • Sealy Corporation: One of the oldest mattress brands, Sealy, began in 1881 when Daniel Haynes, a cotton gin builder from Sealy, Texas, created a compressed cotton-filled mattress. He patented his invention, leading to a company that would later be synonymous with mattresses in America.

  • Simmons Bedding Company: Founded in 1870 by Zalmon G. Simmons, the company revolutionized the mattress industry in 1925 by introducing the pocketed coil spring design, known as the Beautyrest mattress.

  • Serta: Established in 1931, Serta emerged from a collaboration of 13 mattress manufacturers. Over the years, it’s become known for innovations like the “Serta Perfect Sleeper” and its iComfort series.

The Mid-20th Century Boom

The post-WWII era brought a housing boom in the U.S., subsequently increasing the demand for home goods, including mattresses. The number of mattress brands grew exponentially during this period, with regional brands mushrooming across the country. Major innovations included the waterbed in the 1960s and the introduction of memory foam by NASA in the 1970s, which was later commercialized for mattresses in the 1990s.

The Digital Disruption

Come the 21st century, the mattress industry experienced a seismic shift due to the rise of e-commerce. The 2010s, in particular, saw a proliferation of direct-to-consumer online mattress brands like:

  • Casper: Launched in 2014, Casper became an industry disruptor, marketing its mattress-in-a-box model, which quickly gained traction.

  • Purple: Founded in 2015, Purple‘s hyper-elastic polymer grid system distinguished it from competitors.

  • Tuft & Needle: Established in 2012, this brand emphasized transparency and customer-centric policies.

The success of these and other online brands compelled traditional manufacturers to rethink strategies and strengthen their online presence.

Current Landscape

As of 2023, the U.S. houses hundreds of mattress brands, a blend of legacy manufacturers and digital-first startups. The market has become saturated, with differentiation becoming key for brands to thrive. Sustainability has emerged as a significant trend, with brands like Avocado and Brentwood Home emphasizing organic materials and eco-friendly processes.

The Future

The mattress industry is poised for further evolution, with advancements in technology and a heightened emphasis on personalized sleep experiences. Sleep tracking, AI-driven comfort adjustments, and sustainable innovations are expected to define the future.

Furthermore, the blurring lines between technology and health might foster collaborations between tech firms and mattress companies, enhancing the holistic sleep experience.

From handmade beginnings to tech-driven futures, the American mattress industry has witnessed a transformative journey. With sleep being central to well-being, the pursuit for the perfect mattress remains eternal, promising continued innovations and an ever-evolving landscape of brands in the U.S.

Here’s a table outlining the average mattress costs by category and material. Note that prices can vary based on brand, features, and current sales.

Mattress TypeDescriptionPrice Range (Queen Size)Average Price (Queen)
BudgetAffordable beds, typically all-foam or innerspring construction using basic materials$250 – $1,000$600
Mid-RangeMid-range beds, usually all-foam, innerspring, or hybrid using quality materials$500 – $1,500$1,000
LuxuryLuxurious beds; mostly hybrid and latex construction using high-end materials$1,200 – $3,000+$1,800

Specific Materials

TypeDescriptionPrice Range (Queen Size)Average Price (Queen)
InnerspringCoils provide support, often the most affordable option$500 – $1,200+$1,050
All-FoamLayers of various foams for contouring and pressure relief$250 – $1,200+$1,050
LatexDurable and eco-friendly, offers responsiveness and bounce$1,000 -$2,500+$2,000
HybridCombines coils with foam layers for support and comfort$1,000 – $3,000+$2,050

Factors that Influence Price:

  • Brand: Well-known brands often command higher prices.
  • Size: Larger mattresses naturally cost more.
  • Thickness: Thicker mattresses typically use more materials and come at a higher cost.
  • Special Features: Cooling technology, adjustable bases, etc., will increase the price.

Several factors play a significant role in influencing mattress prices. Here’s a breakdown of the key ones:

1. Materials

  • Type of Foam: Memory foam, polyfoam, and specialty foams each come at different price points. Memory foam typically commands a higher price due to its conforming properties.
  • Latex: Natural latex is inherently more expensive than synthetic latex or foam due to its durability, breathability, and eco-friendliness.
  • Innerspring coil type and gauge: Different coil construction methods (pocket coils, offset coils, etc.) and the thickness of the coil wires (gauge) affect both support and cost.
  • Cover Fabric: Organic cotton, wool, and other premium fabrics increase the price compared to basic polyester.

2. Construction

  • Hybrid vs. Specialty: Hybrid mattresses, combining foam and coils, are generally more expensive than innerspring or all-foam counterparts.
  • Layer Count and Thickness: More intricate designs with multiple layers of foam or elaborate coil systems come at a higher cost.
  • Special features: Cooling technology, zoned support, edge reinforcement, etc., add to the price.

3. Brand and Marketing

  • Reputation: Established brands with strong reputations often charge a premium for their name recognition.
  • Advertising and Marketing Costs: Extensive marketing campaigns by big brands ultimately get factored into the mattress price.

4. Retailer

  • Online vs. Brick-and-Mortar: Online retailers often have lower overhead costs, potentially offering better prices. However, in-store shopping allows you to test the mattress before buying.
  • Sales, Promotions, and Markups: Mattress prices can fluctuate with sales and markups by different stores.

5. Other considerations

  • Size: Larger mattresses naturally cost more due to additional materials.
  • Warranty: Long warranties with extensive coverage may slightly increase the price.

Here’s a breakdown of the additional costs you might encounter when buying a new mattress:

Essential Add-Ons

  • Foundations:
    • Box spring: Traditional mattresses often need a box spring for support and proper height.
    • Foundation or Platform Bed: If you don’t need a box spring, many modern mattresses work perfectly with a slatted foundation or a platform bed.
  • Mattress protector: Protects your investment from spills, stains, dust mites, and allergens, extending the mattress’s lifespan.

Delivery and Setup

  • Shipping: If buying online, shipping may be free or add a cost.
  • White-glove delivery: This service includes in-home setup of your new mattress and may involve a fee.
  • Old mattress removal: Some companies will take your old mattress away for disposal, often for an additional fee.

Beyond the Mattress

  • New pillows: A new mattress might feel different, necessitating new pillows for optimal support and comfort.
  • Sheets: If you’re upgrading to a larger size mattress, you’ll need new sheets to fit.
  • Bed frame: If you don’t currently have a bed frame, you’ll need to factor that into your budget.

Tips

  • Look for sales and bundle deals: Often companies will have deals where they include items like foundations or pillows, potentially saving you money.
  • Shop around: Prices can vary greatly, so compare offers from different retailers before buying.
  • Factor in your needs: Decide which add-ons are essential for you and budget accordingly.

Online Mattress Brands

 

There are around 175 online mattress brands in the United States. This number is constantly growing, as more and more companies are entering the market.

It is difficult to say exactly how many online mattress brands exist in the world, but it is estimated to be around 500. This number includes brands that are only available in a few countries, as well as brands that are available globally.

It is important to note that not all online mattress brands are created equal. Some brands offer high-quality mattresses with excellent customer service, while others may offer lower-quality mattresses with less than stellar customer service. It is important to do your research before buying an online mattress to ensure that you are getting a good deal and a quality product.

In Store Mattress Brands

There are around 11 in-store only mattress brands in the United States. These brands typically have physical stores in major cities and shopping malls.

There are a few reasons why there are fewer in-store mattress brands than online mattress brands.

  • Cost of opening and maintaining physical stores. It is expensive to open and maintain physical stores, especially in high-traffic areas. Online mattress brands do not have these costs, which allows them to pass on savings to consumers.
  • Reach. Online mattress brands can reach a global audience with their marketing efforts. In-store only mattress brands are limited to the geographic area where they have physical stores.
  • Convenience. Online mattress brands offer a convenient way for consumers to shop for and purchase mattresses. Consumers can browse and compare mattresses from the comfort of their own homes and have them delivered directly to their door.
  • Trend towards online shopping. Consumers are increasingly shopping online for all sorts of products, including mattresses. This trend has made it more difficult for in-store only mattress brands to compete.

In addition to these factors, some in-store mattress brands may have chosen to focus on their online presence in recent years. This is because online sales can be more profitable than in-store sales.

Characteristics of the Most Popular Mattress Brands

The most popular mattress brands right now are known for a few key distinguishing characteristics:

  • Affordability: Many of the most popular mattress brands offer mattresses at a more affordable price point than traditional mattress brands. This is due to their direct-to-consumer model, which eliminates the need for middlemen.

  • Comfort: The most popular mattress brands offer a variety of comfort levels to accommodate different sleepers. This is important because everyone has different sleep preferences.
  • Innovation: Some of the most popular mattress brands are known for their innovative materials and construction techniques. This allows them to offer mattresses that are more comfortable, durable, and supportive than traditional mattresses.

Here are some specific examples of distinguishing characteristics of some of the most popular mattress brands:

  • Casper: Casper is known for its simple, yet effective design. Its mattresses are made with a combination of memory foam and latex, which provides a comfortable and supportive sleep experience. Casper also offers a 100-night trial period, so consumers can try out the mattress at home before committing to buying it.

The best time to buy a Metro sectional couch is typically during the following periods:

  • After the holidays: Furniture retailers often offer discounts after the holidays to clear out inventory.
  • During the spring: Many retailers offer sales during the spring to encourage people to start thinking about redecorating their homes.
  • During the summer: Furniture retailers may offer discounts during the summer to compete with other retailers and to encourage people to spend money on their homes before the fall.

It is also worth checking with Room & Board directly to see if they offer any special discounts or promotions on the Metro sectional couch.

Here are some specific tips for finding the best deal on a Metro sectional couch:

  • Shop around and compare prices from different retailers.
  • Consider buying a floor model or showroom display.
  • Look for sales and promotions.
  • Use coupons and promo codes.
  • Consider buying a used Metro sectional couch.

It is important to note that the current supply chain shortage is impacting the availability and pricing of furniture. As a result, it may be more difficult to find discounts on the Metro sectional couch, and prices may be higher than usual.

Overall, the best time to buy a Metro sectional couch is during a time when retailers are offering discounts or promotions. By shopping around and comparing prices, you can find the best deal possible.

Why is Room and Board So Expensive?

 

Room & Board furniture is expensive for a number of reasons:

  • High-quality materials: Room & Board uses high-quality materials in its furniture, such as solid wood, high-density foam, and high-end fabrics. These materials are more expensive than the materials used in lower-quality furniture.
  • American-made: Room & Board furniture is made in the United States, which means that it is subject to higher labor costs.
  • Sustainable practices: Room & Board is committed to sustainable practices, which means that it uses recycled materials and renewable resources in its furniture. This also adds to the cost of production.
  • Design: Room & Board furniture is designed by in-house designers, who create unique and stylish pieces. This design process is more expensive than simply copying existing designs.
  • Brand recognition: Room & Board is a well-known and respected brand, which means that consumers are willing to pay a premium for its furniture.

It is important to note that Room & Board furniture is also backed by a generous warranty, which further adds to the cost of ownership.

Overall, Room & Board furniture is expensive because it is made with high-quality materials, is American-made, is sustainably produced, is designed by in-house designers, and has a strong brand reputation.

What size sofa for a 12×12 room?

For a 12×12 room, you will want to choose a sofa that is under 80 inches in length. This will help to prevent the sofa from overwhelming the space. You may also want to consider a sofa with a chaise, as this can provide additional seating and storage space.

Here are some specific sofa sizes that would be appropriate for a 12×12 room:

  • 60-70 inches long
  • 30-35 inches deep
  • 30-35 inches high

Is a sofa better than a sectional for a small living room?

Whether a sofa or a sectional is better for a small living room depends on your individual needs and preferences.

Sofas are typically more compact than sectionals, so they can be a good option for small spaces. However, sectionals can provide more seating and storage space, which can be beneficial for families or people who entertain frequently.

If you are looking for a sofa for a small living room, I recommend choosing a sofa with a chaise. This will provide additional seating and storage space, without taking up too much room.

Are sectionals still in style?

Sectionals are still very much in style. They are a versatile piece of furniture that can be used in a variety of living room settings. Sectionals can also be configured in a variety of ways, to create the perfect layout for your space.

Why are sectionals more expensive?

Sectionals are more expensive than sofas for a few reasons:

  • Sectionals are typically made with more materials, such as wood, fabric, and foam.
  • Sectionals require more labor to assemble and finish.
  • Sectionals are often more difficult to ship and deliver.
  • Sectionals are often made by high-end furniture manufacturers, which means that they use higher-quality materials and construction methods.

Despite being more expensive, sectionals can be a good investment for people who want a versatile and stylish piece of furniture for their living room.

How Long Will the Metro Sectional Last?

The Room & Board Metro sectional is made with high-quality materials and construction methods, so it is expected to last for many years with proper care. Room & Board offers a 10-year warranty on the Metro sectional, which covers defects in materials and workmanship.

However, the exact lifespan of the Metro sectional will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • How often the sectional is used: The more the sectional is used, the more wear and tear it will experience.
  • How well the sectional is cared for: Regular cleaning and maintenance can help to prolong the life of the sectional.
  • The environment in which the sectional is used: If the sectional is exposed to direct sunlight or moisture, it may deteriorate more quickly.

If the Metro sectional is properly cared for, it should last for at least 10-15 years. However, it is possible for the sectional to last for even longer with proper care.

Here are some tips for prolonging the life of your Metro sectional:

  • Vacuum the sectional regularly to remove dust and dirt.
  • Spot clean any spills or stains immediately.
  • Avoid exposing the sectional to direct sunlight or moisture.
  • Use a furniture polish to protect the fabric and wood.
  • Have the sectional professionally cleaned every few years.

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your Metro sectional lasts for many years to come.

It is important to note that no fabric is completely immune to wear and tear. However, the Gino fabric is more durable than most other fabrics, and it is unlikely to show signs of wear for many years with proper care.

Room and Board Trial and Warranty

 

Room & Board offers a 30-day in-home trial on all of its furniture, including the Metro sectional. This means that you can try out the sectional in your home for 30 days before deciding whether to keep it. If you are not happy with the sectional for any reason, you can return it for a full refund.

Room & Board also offers a 10-year warranty on the Metro sectional. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. If there is a problem with your Metro sectional within 10 years of purchase, Room & Board will repair or replace it free of charge.

Not all customers have had negative experiences with the trial and warranty. However, it is important to be aware of the potential problems before you purchase a Metro sectional.

Room and Board vs. Arhaus

Both Room & Board and Arhaus make high-quality sectionals. However, there are some key differences between the two companies’ products.

Room & Board sectionals are known for their clean lines, modern design, and durability. They are also relatively affordable, especially compared to Arhaus sectionals.

Arhaus sectionals are known for their luxurious materials, intricate details, and classic design. They are also backed by a generous warranty. However, Arhaus sectionals are more expensive than Room & Board sectionals.

Here is a more detailed comparison of the two companies’ sectionals:

CharacteristicRoom & BoardArhaus
PriceMore affordableMore expensive
DesignClean lines, modernLuxurious, intricate details, classic
MaterialsHigh-quality, but not as luxurious as ArhausLuxurious, high-end
DurabilityDurableVery durable

Ultimately, the best company for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a high-quality sectional that is both affordable and durable, Room & Board is a good option. If you are looking for a luxurious sectional with a classic design, Arhaus is a good option.

Here are some specific examples of sectionals from each company:

  • Room & Board Metro sectional: A modern sectional with clean lines and a variety of fabric and finish options.
  • Arhaus Ellington sectional: A luxurious sectional with intricate details and a classic Chesterfield design.

I recommend that you visit both Room & Board and Arhaus showrooms to see their sectionals in person and decide which one is right for you.

Homebody vs. Room & Board

Both the Homebody Couch and the Room & Board Metro Sectional are popular choices for living room furniture, but they cater to different needs and styles. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which one might be right for you:

Homebody Couch:

  • Style: Casual and cozy, with a focus on comfort and relaxation. Think cloud-like cushions, deep seating, and plenty of throw pillows.
    Image of Homebody Couch
  • Comfort: Top priority! Homebody couches are known for their sink-in softness and plush cushions. They’re perfect for movie nights, cuddling up with a good book, or taking a nap.
  • Durability: While comfortable, Homebody couches may not be the most durable option, especially for families with pets or children. The down filling can flatten over time, and the fabrics may be more prone to stains.
  • Price: Homebody couches are generally more affordable than the Room & Board Metro Sectional. Prices start around $2,000 for a basic sofa, and go up depending on the size and customizations.
  • Customization: Homebody offers a wide range of customization options, including different cushion sizes, arm styles, and fabrics. You can also choose from a variety of leg options and add-ons like cup holders and charging stations.

Room & Board Metro Sectional:

  • Style: Modern and versatile, with clean lines and a timeless look. The Metro Sectional can be dressed up or down to suit your style.
    Image of Room & Board Metro Sectional
     
  • Comfort: Comfortable, but not as sink-in soft as the Homebody Couch. The Metro Sectional has a firmer seat and back cushions, which some people may find more supportive.
  • Durability: Built to last! The Metro Sectional is made with high-quality materials and construction, making it a good choice for families with pets or children. The fabrics are also stain-resistant and easy to clean.
  • Price: The Metro Sectional is more expensive than the Homebody Couch, with prices starting around $3,500 for a basic configuration. The price will go up depending on the size, customizations, and fabric choices.
  • Customization: The Metro Sectional offers some customization options, such as choosing the number of pieces, arm styles, and fabric. However, the options are not as extensive as Homebody.

Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you prioritize comfort and relaxation, the Homebody Couch is a great option. If you’re looking for a more durable and versatile option, the Room & Board Metro Sectional is a better choice. Consider your budget, style, and lifestyle to make the best decision for your home.

Goose down is the best bedding material for a number of reasons:

  • Warmth: Goose down is an excellent insulator, meaning it traps heat well. This makes it ideal for bedding, especially during the winter months.
  • Lightweight: Goose down is also very lightweight, so it won’t weigh you down while you sleep.
  • Breathable: Goose down is also breathable, so it won’t trap too much heat and make you sweat.
  • Durable: Goose down is a durable material that can last for many years with proper care.
  • Hypoallergenic: Goose down is hypoallergenic, meaning it is unlikely to cause allergic reactions.

In addition to these benefits, goose down is also a natural and sustainable material. Geese are raised for their meat and eggs, and the down is a byproduct of these industries.

Of course, goose down is also a more expensive bedding material than some other options, such as synthetic down or feathers. However, many people believe that the extra cost is worth it for the superior comfort and warmth that goose down provides.

The Pillow Guy Goose Down Pillow is yet another item part of an incredible line of products from the clever brand Pillow Guy. I received and reviewed free one of their items in the past and was pretty impressed with their Down Alternative Pillow so naturally, I had very high expectations of their Down Pillow. This is a company that targets its items towards men who consider themselves gentlemen and who pride themselves on their good taste.

 

Overview of the Pillow Guy Goose Down Pillow

While the Pillow Guy only has two pillow types in their inventory, the choice to keep it simple is wise in their case. Their Goose Down pillow comes in two densities, soft and overstuffed. Their pillows are crafted with 100% Certified RDS (Responsible Down Standard) 650 fill power White Goose Down. They’re encased in a down-proof cotton shell and then wrapped in their gorgeous white sateen cover that comes with stunning blue satin piping. The cover has a hidden zipper and truly feels like something a 5-star hotel would supply their guests (and should).

Construction of the Pillow Guy Down Pillow

Pillow Guy wants to separate themselves from the crowd as a company suited more for the elite. That being the case, their terminology can vary a little so keep in mind that a Jumbo pillow is more simply a Queen size pillow.

My Pillow Guy Goose Down Pillow Findings

Unlike the Down Alternative pillow, Pillow Guy’s Goose Down Pillow is not made from a synthetic material so there’s quite a process involved in trying to ensure that they’re providing the most desirable product on the market. Their Goose Down Pillows are 100% Certified RDS (Responsible Down Standard) but for those that want further clarification on what that means, the information below is quoted directly from the official RDS website, which can be found at http://responsibledown.org.

—Any removal of down and feathers from live birds (live-plucking or molt-harvesting) is prohibited

—Force-feeding is prohibited

—Holistic respect for animal welfare of the birds from hatching to slaughter

—RDS down and feathers is properly identified; to ensures that non-RDS down and feathers are not mistakenly identified as RDS

—Each stage in supply chain is audited by a professional, third party certification body

—Only products with 100% certified down and feathers carry the RDS logo

If you want to read more about how RDS works, there is more information towards the bottom of the home page on their official site. That’s where they discuss the certification process in further detail.

responsible down standard

Another aspect that I really like about these pillows is that they’re priced accordingly. Because Goose Down is a limited resource, it can be costly, which is why I appreciate the fact that their soft pillow, the one with less filling, actually costs less. Not every company is so honest but I believe that the Pillow Guy is and this is just one indication.

One thing I found interesting about this pillow is how different it was in terms of density between the soft and overstuffed pillow. With the Down Alternative pillows this was quite evident but I think that with the Goose Down pillows they’ve drawn the gap a little bit closer. I think this is a positive aspect actually, considering it’s Goose Down which can lose it’s loft over time. This however can be remedied. Down pillows just require their own maintenance in order for them to last long.

My Pillow Guy Down Pillow Recommendation

The Pillow Guy has created another top notch item that they can be proud to have in their inventory. While there is no doubt that I’m a fanatic of their advertising and would love to meet their marketing person, their products make it clear that their money is invested in far more than just their advertising. I rate this pillow an A+.

Arhaus Furniture: A Historical Overview

The Beginnings

Arhaus Furniture, founded in 1986, is a brainchild of John Reed and his father, Jack Reed. The duo, fueled by a vision of offering high-quality, unique home furnishings, embarked on a journey that led them to the creation of a brand that’s now synonymous with luxury and sustainable design.

Situated in the picturesque town of Boston Heights, Ohio, Arhaus Furniture had its humble beginnings. John Reed’s travels around the world exposed him to varied cultures, architecture, and artistry, which then became the cornerstone for Arhaus’s signature eclectic mix of designs.

A Distinct Ethos

From its inception, Arhaus Furniture set itself apart with its commitment to not use wood from the world’s endangered rainforests. Instead, they sourced reclaimed wood from dilapidated buildings, railroad tracks, and old barns. This commitment to environmental sustainability did more than just reduce their carbon footprint; it gave each piece a story, a history, and a unique identity.

Expansion and Growth

Over the years, Arhaus rapidly expanded its footprint. From a single store in Ohio, it blossomed to over 70 locations spread across the United States. As it grew, Arhaus stayed true to its artisanal roots. The brand has consistently partnered with skilled artisans from around the world, ensuring the integrity and uniqueness of each piece they sell.

This global perspective brought a vast array of designs and styles to the American market. From the sleek lines of Italian leather sofas to hand-crafted antiques from India, the Arhaus catalog became a testament to global craftsmanship.

Innovation and Adaptation

In the 21st century, Arhaus recognized the importance of digital transformation. Enhancing its online presence, the brand started offering virtual tools, 3D room planning, and online consultations, ensuring that customers could experience the Arhaus magic even from the comfort of their homes.

Furthermore, understanding the evolving consumer consciousness, Arhaus further deepened its commitment to sustainability. The company embraced materials like organic cotton, recycled metals, and sustainably sourced hardwoods, cementing its position as a brand with a conscience.

Legacy and Impact

For many, Arhaus Furniture is more than just a store. It’s a testament to global artistry, a commitment to sustainability, and a beacon of luxury design. Over the decades, Arhaus has crafted not just furniture, but a legacy that embodies values, quality, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

Today, as consumers become increasingly aware and discerning, Arhaus Furniture stands tall, embodying a blend of sustainability, luxury, and a global outlook. Its journey from a small Ohio store to a national brand narrates a story of vision, commitment, and adaptability.

  • Usage: A sofa in a household with children and pets may not last as long as one in a less busy environment.
  • Maintenance: Regular cleaning, cushion flipping, and keeping the sofa away from direct sunlight can prolong its life.
  • Material: High-performance fabrics and leathers tend to be more durable, but they also require specific care to maintain their appearance.

Arhaus Couches: Navigating the Landscape of Discounts and Sales

In the realm of luxury furniture, pricing strategies often play a crucial role in shaping a brand’s identity and positioning. Arhaus, renowned for its artisanal craftsmanship and commitment to sustainability, is no exception in this regard.

Luma Sleep: The Exclusive Risk-Free Latex Mattress Review

Luna Sleep Mattress Review
We earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

The Luma Sleep Latex Slumber System is a three-layer, all latex mattress system. For this review, I received a free plush version of the mattress since it can be hard to achieve a plush feel with an all latex mattress. I was excited to review this mattress because there aren’t as many all latex mattresses available online and this one comes in at a competitive price after discounts. Right now a queen size retails for $1,756 after the 20% off discount on their site. Although that’s considerably more than a typical foam mattress, you can expect a much longer lifespan and the peace of mind knowing you are sleeping on natural materials.

You also get a 100 night, risk-free trial where you can sleep on it in the comfort of your own home and if you aren’t happy with it during that time, it’s a free return. You also can do a free comfort exchange which means if you like the construction and feel of the mattress but it may be too soft or firm, Luma will exchange it for a better fit, for free. That’s still not very typical with an all latex mattress. You also get free white glove delivery which means it will be brought into your home and set up for free.

Overview of the Luma Sleep Latex Slumber System

Here’s an overview of the system and what you can expect upon opening and setup. Note that the pillow top will come in a separate box.

 

Construction of the Luma Mattress

Luma Latex Construction

The mattress with the pillow top measures 11 inches deep. The construction is as follows.

2 inch natural latex pillow top (option for Talalay latex for extra cost)

2 inch natural latex transition layer

6 inch zoned dunlop latex core

How Much Does the Luma Latex Slumber System Cost?

luma mattress edge

Below are the prices of the Luma Latex as of this writing. For an extra $60 you can have a Talalay latex pillow top instead of dunlop.

[table id=85 /]

My Luma Latex Slumber SystemFindings

If you have never slept on latex, I would urge you to give it a try. Especially if you find memory foam too slow to recover. The reason latex is more expensive is that it takes more time to produce but you just can’t replicate the feel with memory foam or springs. Everyone is different when it comes to their preference for sleep materials but I have found most people will appreciate the feel of latex at the right firmness.

The plush model I tried contours well for side sleeping and will work well for back sleeping. Stomach sleepers may want to look at the medium for firm.

Luma Sleep Contouring

luma back

A latex mattress like this one isn’t going to have as good of edge support as a spring system because you really can’t zone out the edge to make it firm so if you like sleeping right up to the edge this may take some getting used to.

luma bowling ball

The reason this mattress is constructed to have a latex topper as the comfort layer is to reduce the impact of returns. If you find it too firm or soft, Luma can send out a firmer or softer topper to make it easier to adjust and lessen the environmental impact. It’s also much easier to exchange the topper rather than the whole mattress.

Latex Topper

I found this mattress to be temperature neutral. It didn’t trap heat like a foam mattress. That’s largely because of the stretch knit cover and the latex underneath that has holes throughout that allow for airflow.

My Luma Mattress Recommendation

The Luma Latex Slumber System is a great introduction to latex mattresses. Especially when you consider the fact that you get a 100-night trial and the option for a comfort exchange if you like the overall feel but may want to tweak the firmness. Aside from latex being a renewable material, it’s also comfortable, offers great pressure relief and support and is resilient so changing positions at night is easy.

Learn more about the Latex Slumber System

 

There is only one Luma mattress model, the Original Luma Mattress. It is a hybrid mattress that combines a layer of natural latex with a layer of pocket springs. The mattress is available in four sizes, and the prices are as follows:

SizePrice
Twin XL$795
Full$1,095
Queen$1,195
King$1,495

Luma offers a 100-night sleep trial, so you can try the mattress for 100 nights and return it for a full refund if you are not satisfied. Luma also offers free shipping and returns on all mattress orders.

Please note that these prices are subject to change.

The Luma mattress is a good all-latex mattress, but it is not the only option on the market. There are a number of other all-latex mattresses that offer similar features and benefits, but some may be better suited for your individual needs.

Here is a comparison of the Luma mattress to other popular all-latex mattresses:

MattressThicknessPriceFirmness optionsWarranty
Luma11 inches$795-$1,495Medium plush or firm15 years
Saatva Latex Hybrid11 inches$1,399-$2,099Soft, medium, or firm15 years
Avocado Green11 inches$1,199-$1,899Soft, medium, or firm25 years
Zenhaven10 inches$1,450-$2,450Soft, medium, or firm20 years
PlushBeds10 inches$1,199-$1,899Soft, medium, or firm25 years

As you can see, the Luma mattress is on the more affordable end of the price spectrum for all-latex mattresses. It also has a good warranty, which is important to consider when making a significant investment in a new mattress.

However, the Luma mattress is only available in two firmness options, medium plush and firm. This may be limiting for some sleepers, who may prefer a softer or firmer mattress.

Other all-latex mattresses, such as the Saatva Latex Hybrid, Avocado Green, Zenhaven, and PlushBeds, offer a wider range of firmness options. This makes it easier to find a mattress that is perfectly suited to your individual needs.

Another factor to consider is the type of latex used in the mattress. The Luma mattress uses Talalay latex, which is a softer and more responsive type of latex. Talalay latex is also more expensive than Dunlop latex, which is used in some other all-latex mattresses.

If you are looking for a soft and responsive all-latex mattress, the Luma mattress is a good option. However, if you are looking for a wider range of firmness options or a more affordable mattress, you may want to consider other all-latex mattresses, such as the Saatva Latex Hybrid, Avocado Green, Zenhaven, or PlushBeds.

Ultimately, the best way to choose the right all-latex mattress for you is to read reviews and compare different models. You may also want to consider trying out different mattresses in person at a mattress store.

Luma Sleep vs. Posh + Lavish

Luma Sleep and Posh + Lavish are both luxury mattress brands that offer high-quality mattresses made from natural materials. However, there are some key differences between the two brands, and Luma Sleep is arguably the better choice for most people.

Here is a comparison of Luma Sleep and Posh + Lavish mattresses:

FeatureLuma SleepPosh + Lavish
Materials100% natural Talalay latex100% natural latex
ConstructionAll-latex or hybrid latexAll-latex
Firmness optionsPlush, medium firm, and firmMedium firm
Price$1,095-$2,495$2,599-$4,999
 
  • More affordable than Posh + Lavish mattresses
  • More firmness options to choose from
  • Longer warranty (10 years vs. 5 years)
  • Better customer service

Disadvantages of Luma Sleep mattresses:

  • Not as well-known as Posh + Lavish
  • Fewer stores where you can buy them in person

Advantages of Posh + Lavish mattresses:

  • More prestigious brand
  • More stores where you can buy them in person

Disadvantages of Posh + Lavish mattresses:

  • More expensive than Luma Sleep mattresses
  • Fewer firmness options to choose from
  • Shorter warranty (5 years vs. 10 years)
  • Poorer customer service

Overall, Luma Sleep is the better choice for most people because it offers more affordable, durable, and high-quality mattresses than Posh + Lavish.

Here are some additional reasons why Luma Sleep is better:

  • Luma Sleep mattresses are made from 100% natural Talalay latex, which is the highest quality latex available. Posh + Lavish mattresses are also made from 100% natural latex, but some people believe that Talalay latex is more durable and supportive.
  • Luma Sleep mattresses come in three firmness options: plush, medium firm, and firm. Posh + Lavish mattresses only come in one firmness option: medium firm. This means that Luma Sleep has a wider range of firmness options to choose from, so you can find the perfect mattress for your needs.
  • Luma Sleep mattresses have a 10-year warranty, while Posh + Lavish mattresses only have a 5-year warranty. This means that Luma Sleep is more confident in the quality of its mattresses.
  • Luma Sleep has a reputation for excellent customer service. Posh + Lavish, on the other hand, has a reputation for poor customer service.

If you are looking for the best possible night’s sleep, a Luma Sleep mattress is the way to go. It is made from the highest quality materials, has a durable construction, and is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Okaysou AirMax 8L: Best Air Purifier for Effortless Clean Air

okaysou out of the box

This air purifier couldn’t come soon enough. Okaysou recently reached out to me to review one of their products. They sent me the AirMax XL for free to get my opinion on how it stacks up to other brands I have tried. Currently, there are wildfires burning all over California and the air quality where I live in San Diego is very hit or miss. I invested in a Temptop Air Quality detector so that I could get real-time data on just how bad things could get. Most of the time the air quality is fair but certainly not good and despite using high-quality air filters for our house, smoke and ash still gets in through our leaky windows and doors, enough that it is irritating and results in poor sleep.

We have an air purifier in our bedroom but it struggles to keep up and so it was fun to see if the Okaysou Airmax was up to the challenge of keeping the air clean all night.

Overview of the Okaysou Air Purifier

Here’s a quick video overview of how the units works.

 

Ordering and Unboxing the Okaysou

My Okaysou shipped fast and arrived in the box below. No guessing on what’s inside the box here.

Inside you will find another box.

It’s nice packaging and there was no mistaking that I got the product I ordered. If for some reason you need to return it, you won’t struggle with finding a box.

Once you get through all the cardboard, plastic and styrofoam, you will find the unit itself. Before turning it on, just make sure you take the plastic off the filters inside.

How Much Does the Okaysou AirMax 8L Cost?

The retail price on this air purifier is $119.95 and you can buy it right from Amazon.

My Okaysou Findings

Less effective air filters only use a HEPA filter an a fan. Knowing this, it isn’t hard to create a makeshift filter with a furnace filter tide to the back of a box fan. But Okaysou takes it to another level. The graphic below lists out all the filters you will find in this device and what impurities they will trap.

First is the HEPA filter.

Once you get through all the filters, you will see the fan itself.

My Okaysou AirMax 8L Findings

Once I turned the Okaysou on for the first time, I was blown away. This is rated to clean rooms around 500 square feet. Our bedroom is about 2o0 square feet so maybe a bit more than we need but is it very effective. The CADR rating on this model is 210 which means it will clean the air in a 500 sq. ft. room 3 times per hour so even faster for my room.

testing okaysou

There are 3 fan speeds on this and if you have a bigger room, you will want to use a higher speed but for my bedroom, I keep it on the lowest setting which is more than enough. At the low setting, it is quiet enough so you can still watch tv without it being annoying. If you prefer white noise, you can just increase the fan speed.

My biggest complaint about this unit and most air purifiers is that there isn’t a way to turn off the LED lights at night. I prefer my room as dark as possible and the lights will really stand out if it is close to your bed. A simple fix is just to put electrical tape over them but the ability to disable the lights would be a nice feature.

My Okaysou AirMax 8L Recommendation

This model is extremely effective at cleaning air to some of the highest standards. If you are used to a simple HEPA air purifier, this is a noticeable upgrade. Thankfully, you don’t need to spend all that much to get the benefits. At under $300 it is an incredible value. It is effective, efficient, quiet and affordable. It is an ideal choice for bedrooms, offices or any other medium-size room where you spend a lot of time. Pet owners will reap the benefits of less dander and less sneezing. But don’t just take my word for it, the Okaysou has hundreds of 5 star reviews on Amazon.

WinkBed Eco Cloud Review: Stunning Comfort, Best Sleep Choice

Eco
Winkbed Eco Cloud
$1699 (Queen)

Hybrid design blends the support of coils with the pressure relief of Talalay latex


We earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

Winkbeds has expanded its offering of mattresses to include Hybrid, Foam and now an Eco-friendly option called the Eco Cloud. This is an all-natural mattress made with steel springs, natural latex, wool and organic cotton. There are many natural mattresses on the market with similar construction but the Eco Cloud has a feel all its own. In keeping with the Winkbeds tradition, it offers a more luxurious feel where you get more cradling than the competitors. But you will pay a bit more for the premium. A queen size currently retails for $1,799 which is considerably more than the budget-friendly Awara at $1,199.

Overview of the Winkbed Eco Cloud

Here’s a video overview of the Eco Cloud where you can see how it performs and peek inside the mattress to see how it is constructed.

Construction of the Winkbeds Eco Cloud

Winkbeds Eco Cloud Construction

Here are the construction details as listed on their website along with a picture (ab0ve) to show you the actual layers.

ORGANIC COTTON COVER & NEW ZEALAND WOOL

A soft quilt cover made from 100% organic cotton and sustainable New Zealand wool ensure you sleep cool, clean and dry.

4″ TALALAY LATEX COMFORT LAYER

4″ of premium Talalay is textured and fabricated into targeted comfort layers to provide firmer support for the low back & lumbar, and softer support in the shoulders & hips, for an unparalleled zero-pressure experience.

5 ZONE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED INNERSPRING SUPPORT SYSTEM

Made from recycled steel, our innersprings are tempered 3 times and provide targeted pushback support for heavier areas of the body.

EXTRA-EDGE™ ANTI-SAG SUPPORT SYSTEM

Our proprietary innerspring support core is firmer and more supportive along the edges, allowing you to sleep edge to edge without any sag.

How Much Does the Winkbed Eco Cloud Cost?

The cost of the mattress varies depending on the size and other features you select, such as a foundation or adjustable base. Here are the current prices for the WinkBed EcoCloud mattress:

  • Twin: $1,599
  • Twin XL: $1,799
  • Full: $1,999
  • Queen: $2,199
  • King: $2,599
  • California King: $2,599

Please note that these prices are subject to change and do not include any discounts or promotions that may be available at the time of purchase. Additionally, the prices listed above are for the mattress only and do not include any accessories or add-ons.

My Eco Cloud Findings

I found this mattress to be just a bit on the softer end of the spectrum compared to others with similar construction. I attribute that mostly to the 4 inch Talalay latex layer at the top. Here you can see how much sinkage is produced with my 14 lb. bowling ball.

Winkbed Eco Cloud Softness

Here’s another picture showing me pushing into the mattress with a good amount of force. I just want to illustrate how much give you can achieve with the mattress.

Winkbed Push

As I mentioned in the video, this mattress doesn’t retain much heat and that’s typical of a natural mattress like this one. If you are coming from a traditional spring mattress, you shouldn’t notice a difference in sleeping hotter.

I’m glad Winkbeds incorporated Talalay latex into the top layer as it gives it a nice plush feel without too much sinkage. This mattress is bouncy without a lot of motion transfer. They use a proprietary spring system with zones across the mattress to even you out and provide support for your hips making this a great choice for any type of sleeper, even stomach sleepers. The perimeter coils are firmer so you also get great edge support and won’t feel like you are going to roll off the mattress.

Finally, Winkbeds did a great job with the fabric on this mattress. It’s not stitched too tight like others I have tried. That means there is more material to allow the latex and springs to work. Some mattresses that are stitched too tight don’t offer as good of contouring as this one.

The WinkBed Eco Cloud vs. Avocado Mattress

Both are known for their eco-friendly and sustainable materials. Here’s a brief comparison between the two:

  1. Construction: The WinkBed EcoCloud is a hybrid mattress that combines latex, pocketed coils, and wool. On the other hand, the Avocado mattress is available in two options – a hybrid that combines latex, pocketed coils, and wool, and an all-latex mattress.
  2. Firmness: Both mattresses offer different firmness levels to choose from. WinkBed EcoCloud comes in medium-firm, while Avocado offers firmness options ranging from medium-firm to plush.
  3. Support: Both mattresses provide excellent support to the body, thanks to their hybrid construction that combines foam, latex, and coils.
  4. Price: The WinkBed EcoCloud is slightly more expensive than the Avocado, with prices ranging from $1,599 to $2,499, while the Avocado mattress costs between $899 to $2,199.
  5. Eco-friendliness: Both mattresses are made with eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton, wool, and natural latex. However, the Avocado mattress is certified organic by GOTS and GOLS, making it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option.

Overall, both the WinkBed EcoCloud and Avocado mattresses are high-quality options that offer excellent comfort and support. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and budget when deciding between the two.

The Winkbed EcoCloud vs. the Birch Mattress

  1. Construction: The WinkBed EcoCloud is a hybrid mattress that combines latex, pocketed coils, and wool. The Birch mattress is also a hybrid but uses organic cotton, Talalay latex, and individually wrapped coils.
  2. Firmness: The WinkBed EcoCloud comes in medium-firm, while the Birch mattress offers two firmness options: medium-firm and plush.
  3. Support: Both mattresses provide excellent support to the body due to their hybrid construction that combines foam, latex, and coils.
  4. Price: The WinkBed EcoCloud is slightly more expensive than the Birch, with prices ranging from $1,599 to $2,499, while the Birch mattress costs between $1,049 to $1,899.
  5. Eco-friendliness: Both mattresses are made with eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton, wool, and natural latex. However, Birch has a more significant focus on sustainability, with certifications from GOTS, GOLS, and OEKO-TEX.

EcoCloud vs. Awara Mattress

The WinkBed EcoCloud and Awara mattresses are both excellent options with unique features and benefits. Here’s a brief comparison between the two:

  1. Construction: The WinkBed EcoCloud is a hybrid mattress that combines latex, pocketed coils, and wool. The Awara mattress is also a hybrid but uses Dunlop latex, individually wrapped coils, and organic cotton.
  2. Firmness: The WinkBed EcoCloud comes in medium-firm, while the Awara mattress is firm.
  3. Support: Both mattresses provide excellent support to the body due to their hybrid construction that combines foam, latex, and coils. However, the Awara mattress may be too firm for some sleepers and may not provide enough pressure relief.
  4. Price: The Awara mattress is slightly more affordable than the WinkBed EcoCloud, with prices ranging from $999 to $1,799. The WinkBed EcoCloud costs between $1,599 to $2,599.
  5. Eco-friendliness: Both mattresses are made with eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton and natural latex. However, the WinkBed EcoCloud has a more significant focus on sustainability, with certifications from GOTS, GOLS, and OEKO-TEX.

Overall, both the WinkBed EcoCloud and Awara mattresses are excellent options that offer comfort and support while being environmentally conscious. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and budget when deciding between the two. If you prefer a medium-firm mattress with a focus on sustainability, the WinkBed EcoCloud may be the better choice. If you prefer a firm mattress with a lower price point, the Awara mattress may be the better option.

WinkBed Ecocloud for Sex

the WinkBed EcoCloud is a good option for sex. It has a hybrid construction that combines latex, pocketed coils, and wool, which provides a good balance of support and comfort that can enhance sexual activity. The latex layer can offer responsive bounce and motion isolation, while the pocketed coils provide a sturdy base for a stable surface. Additionally, the breathable wool layer can help regulate temperature and wick away moisture, making it a comfortable surface to sleep and engage in physical activity. Overall, the WinkBed EcoCloud’s construction can provide a comfortable and supportive surface for sexual activity.

Talalay vs Dunlop

  1. Production Process: Dunlop latex is the original latex production method and is made by mixing natural latex sap with curing agents, pouring the mixture into a mold, and baking it. Talalay latex is a newer production process that involves the same initial steps as Dunlop but adds an additional step of vacuum sealing the mold and flash freezing it before baking it. This process makes Talalay latex more uniform and consistent than Dunlop.
  2. Density: Dunlop latex is denser and firmer than Talalay latex due to its production process. It has a heavier feel and is often used as a support layer in mattresses. Talalay latex is lighter and more buoyant due to the aeration process that gives it a more consistent cell structure. It is often used as a comfort layer in mattresses.
  3. Comfort: Both Dunlop and Talalay latex provide excellent comfort and support. However, Talalay latex is often preferred for its superior pressure relief, thanks to its more consistent cell structure and buoyancy.
  4. Durability: Both types of latex are known for their durability and can last for many years. However, Talalay latex may be more resistant to compression and sagging over time due to its more consistent structure.

Overall, both Dunlop and Talalay latex can be excellent options in a mattress, depending on your preferences and needs. Dunlop latex may be preferred for its density and firmness, while Talalay latex may be preferred for its superior pressure relief and buoyancy.

My Eco Cloud Recommendation

The Eco Cloud costs more than some of the competing brands but to me, that’s not a deal-breaker.

The end result is a quality mattress that will hold up over time.

Understanding the Ceragem V6: A Deep Dive into Its Functionality

In the realm of therapeutic massage devices, the Ceragem V6 has emerged as a paragon of innovation, blending traditional healing methods with state-of-the-art technology. But what lies beneath its sleek exterior, and how does it deliver on its promise of a tailored spinal health experience? Let’s delve into the mechanics and science behind this groundbreaking device.

1. Intelligent Spine Scanning Technology

Central to the Ceragem V6’s efficacy is its spine scanning technology. Before initiating any massage session, the device conducts a thorough scan of the user’s spine. Using precision sensors, it detects the unique curvature and nuances of the individual’s spinal structure. This data is then used to customize the subsequent massage, ensuring that pressure and movement are applied in a manner that’s most beneficial to the user.

2. Far Infrared Rays (FIR) and Jade Integration

The Ceragem V6 doesn’t just rely on mechanical pressure to deliver its therapeutic benefits. It incorporates the healing properties of far infrared rays (FIR) and jade. FIR, a segment of the natural light spectrum, is known for its deep penetrating heat. When emitted by the Ceragem V6, these rays penetrate deep into the body, enhancing blood circulation and aiding in the relief of pain and tension.

Jade, a natural stone long revered in various cultures for its healing properties, is used in the device’s rollers. As these jade rollers move along the spine, they not only provide a consistent and soothing pressure but also emit FIR, amplifying the therapeutic effects.

3. Customizable Intensity and Modes

Recognizing that every individual’s therapeutic needs and comfort levels vary, the Ceragem V6 is equipped with multiple intensity levels and modes. Users can choose from gentle relaxation sessions to more intense therapeutic experiences, allowing for a highly personalized approach to spinal health.

4. Ergonomic Design

Beyond its technological prowess, the Ceragem V6’s design plays a crucial role in its functionality. Its ergonomic structure ensures that users, regardless of their body type, can lie down comfortably. This design ensures that the spine is correctly aligned and positioned to receive maximum benefits from the massage.

5. User Interface

The Ceragem V6’s user interface is a testament to its commitment to user-centric design. The accompanying remote control is intuitive, with clearly labeled buttons and settings. This ensures that users can easily navigate through the device’s features, making the most of their therapeutic sessions.

Is Infrared Heat Massage Legit?

Infrared Massage Therapy: Beyond the Hype

In the vast landscape of therapeutic modalities, infrared massage therapy has emerged as a topic of both intrigue and skepticism. With claims ranging from pain relief to enhanced circulation, it’s essential to sift through the noise and determine the legitimacy of this increasingly popular treatment. Here’s our authoritative take on infrared massage therapy.

The Science Behind Infrared

Infrared is a segment of the natural light spectrum, just beyond the visibility of the human eye. It’s categorized into three types based on wavelengths: near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), and far-infrared (FIR). Of these, FIR has gained significant attention in therapeutic contexts.

When FIR is emitted, it produces a form of radiant heat that can penetrate deep into the body’s tissues. This deep penetration is believed to enhance blood circulation, thereby delivering more oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissues and aiding in the removal of cellular waste.

Clinical Findings and Applications

Several studies have delved into the potential benefits of infrared therapy:

  1. Pain Relief: A study published in the journal Pain Research and Management found that FIR therapy could reduce chronic pain. Participants who underwent FIR therapy reported a significant decrease in pain levels compared to those who did not receive the treatment.

  2. Improved Circulation: Enhanced blood flow is one of the most frequently cited benefits of infrared therapy. By dilating blood vessels and capillaries, FIR can potentially improve circulation, aiding in muscle recovery and the removal of toxins.

  3. Wound Healing: Some research suggests that infrared therapy might accelerate the wound healing process. The increased circulation and oxygenation of the tissue can potentially aid in faster cell regeneration.

  4. Relaxation and Stress Reduction: The warmth generated by FIR can induce relaxation, much like the sensation one feels under the sun on a cold day. This can lead to reduced muscle tension and stress.

Skepticism and Considerations

While there’s a growing body of research supporting the benefits of infrared therapy, skepticism remains in some quarters. Critics argue that more extensive, long-term studies are needed to conclusively establish the therapy’s efficacy.

Additionally, while many users report positive outcomes, infrared therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Individual experiences can vary, and what works for one person might not necessarily work for another.

Brooklinen Down Alternative Pillow: Best Luxurious Choice

Brooklinen
Best Down Alternative
We earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

Overview of the Brooklinen Down Alternative Pillow

Brooklinen seeks to bring a sense of luxury to your life, or to be more specific, your bed. They’ve gained some popularity and after having a chance to try their pillows, I can see why. In addition to down pillows, they also sell down alternative pillows. They come in three different firmness levels and beautifully mimic down alternative pillows but what impresses me most is not what you would expect. 

brooklinen down alternative pillows unboxing

What impresses me most about their brand is not only the product but their lifetime warranty. A lot of companies of this type won’t offer a warranty so that’s the first thing but to then offer a lifetime warranty is a big deal. So Brooklinen, as awesome as your pillows are, it’s the warranty that blows my mind a little more than the pillows do.

Their return period is pretty great too. It’s certainly long enough for you to decide if these pillows are worth your time or not. You actually have one entire year, 365 days, to come to a decision. In this industry, it’s (incredibly) difficult to beat that.

The prices for a down alternative pillow from Brooklinen range from $59 to $79, depending on the size.

Construction of The Brooklinen Down Alternative Pillow 

Brooklinen’s Down Alternative pillows are created with synthetic fibers that have been designed to mimic the warmth and texture of natural goose down. This makes them better suited to individuals with allergies.

  • Down Alternative Pillow Standard (20″ Ă— 26″)
  • Down Alternative Pillow King  (20″ Ă— 36″)
  • 400-Thread Pure Long-Staple Cotton Cover
  • 100% Shaved Microfibers
  • Antimicrobial
  • Hypoallergenic

My Brooklinen Down Alternative Pillow Findings

My experience with the pillows from Brooklinen was positive overall. I enjoyed the unboxing experience and how straight forward it was. Each pillow having its own encasing was pleasing to see. The way everything was compartmentalized, in my eyes, shows attention to detail and it just felt clean and orderly. Clean freaks (such as myself) love that stuff. Companies should always consider their unboxing experiences. How a person reacts to a package is part of how they’ll react to the product that’s inside it.

brooklinen down alternative pillows packaging

The pillows themselves are wonderful, soft and oh, so comforting. I love down pillows and making good imitations of them is no easy task and these down alternative pillows by Brooklinen are well done. The density of each pillow, from the plush/soft to the medium-firm, and from the medium-firm to the firm, all seemed appropriate. I’m a side sleeper, so there was no way I was going to fall asleep on the softest pillow with the least filling; my neck would have never forgiven me but the moment my head hit the medium-firm pillow, I was sure ready for a nice, long nap. Described as luxury level, their crisp white color confirms that they are cooler than cool but what’s more? How luxurious are they? I’ve inspected hotel pillows in the past; I used to work at one. These pillows are just as good.

brooklinen down alternative pillows side by side comparison

In an industry saturated with custom pillows, regular pillows suddenly seem revolutionary but there’s something to be said for just keeping it simple. Not everyone has time to travel from one zipper to another. Some can never figure out just how they like their pillows; they want the manufacturer to decide for them. There’s freedom in being able to just grab a pillow and get our butts to bed, especially when there is zero thought required.

A customizable product is one that is still incomplete when it arrives at the customer’s door. The responsibility is then handed off to the consumer, who needs to add the finishing touches. Standard products like this, that are sold as they are, on the other hand, have zero deficiencies. We perceive them as being “whole” or “complete,” and therefore ready to use and that’s because they are.

It is important to note that this chart is based on a quick online search and may not include all of the options available from each retailer. Additionally, the prices may change over time. It is always best to check with the retailer directly for the most up-to-date information.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a down alternative pillow:

  • Fill material: Down alternative pillows can be filled with a variety of materials, including synthetic fibers, feathers, and buckwheat hulls. The type of filling material will affect the feel and weight of the pillow.
  • Firmness: Down alternative pillows come in a variety of firmness levels, from soft to firm. Choose a firmness level that will support your head and neck in a comfortable position.
  • Size: Down alternative pillows come in a variety of sizes, including standard, queen, and king. Choose a size that will fit your pillowcase and bed.
  • Price: Down alternative pillows can range in price from $50 to $200. Set a budget before you start shopping and choose a pillow that fits your needs and budget.

Benefits of Down Alternative Pillows vs. Down Pillows

Down and down-alternative pillows have jockeyed for position as top contenders for the preferred choice of discerning sleepers worldwide. While traditional down, sourced from the soft under-feathers of ducks and geese, has long been heralded for its luxurious softness and adaptability, down-alternative materials have risen in prominence, offering a host of benefits that sometimes outpace their natural counterpart. Here’s a deep dive into the advantages of down alternative over traditional down pillows:

1. Allergy-Friendly: Perhaps the most significant edge down alternatives have over natural down is their hypoallergenic properties. Many people are allergic to the dust, mites, or proteins found in natural down, causing symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, or even more severe allergic reactions. Down alternative pillows, typically made from synthetic materials like polyester, eliminate this concern, providing a safe sleeping environment for allergy sufferers.

2. Cruelty-Free: Ethical considerations come into play for many consumers. Down harvesting, even when labeled as “ethically sourced,” often raises concerns about the welfare of the birds involved. Down alternative pillows, being man-made, offer a cruelty-free choice for the conscientious buyer.

3. Cost-Effective: Pure down pillows tend to be pricier due to the process of collecting and cleaning the feathers. Down alternatives, on the other hand, are generally more affordable without compromising much on comfort.

4. Durability: The synthetic fibers used in down alternative pillows are designed for resilience. They can maintain their shape and structure for longer periods, reducing the frequency of replacements. Additionally, these pillows are less likely to develop lumps or lose their fluffiness over time, ensuring consistent comfort.

5. Moisture Resistance: Down can absorb and retain moisture, which may lead to the growth of mold or mildew if not dried properly. Down alternative materials are less prone to moisture retention, resulting in a dryer, fresher sleeping experience.

6. Ease of Care: While down pillows often require specialized care, including professional cleaning or specific washing instructions, down alternative pillows are usually machine washable and dryer-friendly. This ease of care is a boon for those leading busy lives or for settings such as hotels and guest rooms.

7. Uniformity: Down pillows can sometimes have quills that poke through the pillowcase, causing discomfort. Down alternatives don’t present this issue, ensuring a consistently smooth feel.

In conclusion, while the age-old debate between down and down alternative pillows may never see a definitive winner, the advantages of down alternative pillows are hard to dispute. They present a compelling case for those seeking a combination of comfort, durability, ethics, and affordability. As technology advances and manufacturing processes become more refined, we can only expect the gap between natural and synthetic bedding to narrow, with down alternatives potentially taking the lead in the luxury bedding market.

Zoned Coils: The Superior Choice for Effortless Comfort

Zoned Coils

The newest mattress coil technology is constantly evolving, but some of the most notable recent developments include:

  • V-Coil technology: V-Coil technology is a patented coil design that features V-shaped coils arranged in a staggered pattern. This design allows the coils to conform to the body more effectively and provide better pressure relief. V-Coil mattresses are also known for their durability and longevity.
  • Quantum coil technology: Quantum coil technology is another patented coil design that uses smaller, more densely packed coils to provide more precise support and pressure relief. Quantum coil mattresses are also known for their responsiveness and bounce.
  • Microcoil technology: Microcoils are much smaller than traditional pocket coils, and they are often used in conjunction with other types of foam to create a more responsive and supportive mattress. Microcoils are also very good at relieving pressure points.
  • Zoned coil systems: Zoned coil systems use different types of coils in different areas of the mattress to provide different levels of support. For example, the center of the mattress may have firmer coils to support the lumbar region, while the sides of the mattress may have softer coils to provide pressure relief for the shoulders and hips.

In addition to these new coil technologies, there are also a number of new hybrid coil systems that combine different types of coils to create a unique feel and performance. For example, some hybrid coil systems combine pocket coils with continuous coils to create a mattress that is both supportive and durable.

When choosing a mattress, it is important to consider the type of coil system that is right for you. If you are looking for a mattress with excellent support and pressure relief, a mattress with V-Coil technology, Quantum coil technology, or microcoils may be a good option. If you are looking for a mattress with more bounce and responsiveness, a mattress with a hybrid coil system may be a better choice.

There are four main types of coil systems used in mattresses:

  • Bonnell coils: Bonnell coils are the oldest type of coil system, and they are also the least expensive. They are made of interconnected hourglass-shaped coils. Bonnell coils are known for their durability and bounce, but they do not offer as much support or pressure relief as other types of coil systems.
  • Offset coils: Offset coils are similar to Bonnell coils, but they are offset in a staggered pattern. This gives offset coils more flexibility and less bounce than Bonnell coils. Offset coils are also more supportive than Bonnell coils, but they are still not as supportive as other types of coil systems.
  • Pocket coils: Pocket coils are individually wrapped in fabric pockets. This allows each coil to move independently, providing better support and pressure relief than Bonnell or offset coils. Pocket coil mattresses are also more durable than Bonnell or offset coil mattresses, but they are also more expensive.
  • Continuous coils: Continuous coils are made of a single piece of wire that is wound into a spiral shape. Continuous coil mattresses are less expensive than pocket coil mattresses, but they do not offer as much support or pressure relief. Continuous coil mattresses are also more likely to sag over time.

In addition to these four main types of coil systems, there are also a number of hybrid coil systems that combine different types of coils to create a unique feel and performance. For example, some hybrid coil systems combine pocket coils with continuous coils to create a mattress that is both supportive and durable.

When choosing a mattress, it is important to consider the type of coil system that is right for you. If you are looking for a mattress that is affordable and durable, a Bonnell or offset coil mattress may be a good option. If you are looking for a mattress that is supportive and provides good pressure relief, a pocket coil or hybrid coil mattress may be a better choice.

It is also important to note that the number of coils in a mattress is not always an accurate indicator of quality. A mattress with a high coil count may not be as supportive or durable as a mattress with a lower coil count. It is more important to consider the type of coils used and the overall construction of the mattress.

Coils

A Combi-Zone coil system mattress is a type of innerspring mattress that uses three different zones of coils to provide different levels of support for different parts of the body. The center third of the mattress has firmer coils to support the lumbar region, while the sides of the mattress have softer coils to provide pressure relief for the shoulders and hips.

Combi-Zone coil systems are designed to provide optimal support and comfort for all types of sleepers, regardless of weight or sleeping position. They are also known for their durability and longevity.

Here are some of the benefits of Combi-Zone coil system mattresses:

  • Support and comfort: The three zones of coils provide different levels of support for different parts of the body, helping to keep the spine aligned and relieve pressure points.
  • Durability: Combi-Zone coil systems are made with high-quality materials and construction, so they can withstand years of use.
  • Breathability: Innerspring mattresses are generally more breathable than other types of mattresses, which can help to keep you cool and comfortable at night.
  • Edge support: Combi-Zone coil systems typically have a strong perimeter support system, which helps to prevent sagging and roll-off at the edges of the mattress.

If you are looking for a mattress that provides excellent support, comfort, and durability, a Combi-Zone coil system mattress is a great option to consider.

Zoned Coil Alternatives

Here are some alternatives to Combi-Zone coil systems:

  • Individually wrapped coils (pocket coils): Pocket coils are individually wrapped in fabric pockets, which allows them to move independently and provide better support and pressure relief than other types of coil systems. Pocket coil mattresses are also more durable than other types of coil mattresses.
  • Microcoils: Microcoils are much smaller than traditional pocket coils, and they are often used in conjunction with other types of foam to create a more responsive and supportive mattress. Microcoils are also very good at relieving pressure points.
  • Zoned coil systems: Zoned coil systems use different types of coils in different areas of the mattress to provide different levels of support. For example, the center of the mattress may have firmer coils to support the lumbar region, while the sides of the mattress may have softer coils to provide pressure relief for the shoulders and hips.
  • Latex foam: Latex foam is a natural material that is known for its durability, support, and pressure relief. Latex foam mattresses are often more expensive than other types of mattresses, but they can last for many years.
  • Memory foam: Memory foam is a synthetic material that is known for its ability to conform to the body. Memory foam mattresses are often very comfortable, but they can also be very hot and restricting.

The best alternative to Combi-Zone coil systems for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a mattress that is supportive and provides good pressure relief, an individually wrapped coil mattress or a zoned coil mattress may be a good option. If you are looking for a mattress that is natural and durable, a latex foam mattress may be a good choice. And if you are looking for a mattress that is comfortable and conforms to the body, a memory foam mattress may be a good option.

Zoned Coils vs. Bonnel Coils

Zoned coil systems and Bonnell coils are two different types of coil systems used in mattresses.

Zoned coil systems use different types of coils in different areas of the mattress to provide different levels of support. For example, the center of the mattress may have firmer coils to support the lumbar region, while the sides of the mattress may have softer coils to provide pressure relief for the shoulders and hips.

Bonnell coils are the oldest type of coil system, and they are also the least expensive. They are made of interconnected hourglass-shaped coils. Bonnell coils are known for their durability and bounce, but they do not offer as much support or pressure relief as zoned coil systems.

Here is a table comparing zoned coil systems and Bonnell coils:

FeatureZoned coil systemsBonnell coils
SupportExcellentGood
Pressure reliefExcellentGood
DurabilityVery goodVery good
PriceMore expensiveLess expensive

Overall, zoned coil systems are a better choice than Bonnell coils for sleepers who are looking for a mattress with excellent support and pressure relief. However, Bonnell coils are a good option for sleepers who are looking for a more affordable mattress.

Which type of coil system is right for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you are not sure which type of coil system is right for you, it is a good idea to try out different types of mattresses before you buy one.

So, if you’re considering purchasing a new mattress, this review could be a valuable resource for you.

The Brand Behind the Product

Founded with a mission to provide personalized comfort for all sleepers, the brand has quickly made a name for itself in the industry. Offering a range of mattresses that cater to different preferences and needs, Helix aims to revolutionize the way we sleep. The Helix Sunset Mattress is one such product that showcases the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation.

Overview of Helix Sunset Mattress

When it comes to the Helix Sunset Mattress, there’s much to admire. Available in different sizes, from Twin to Cal King, this mattress can accommodate a variety of sleepers.

Furthermore, it’s built with an ultra-breathable Tencel cover to ensure a cool and comfortable sleep environment. Now, aren’t these features worth considering?

Unpacking the Unique Features of Helix Sunset Mattress

As we delve deeper into the specifics of the Helix Sunset Mattress, there are two standout features that deserve our attention: the customizable firmness and the cooling properties. Let’s explore these further.

Customizable Firmness

One of the most attractive features of the Helix Sunset Mattress is its adjustable firmness. But what does this mean exactly? And how does it benefit users?

Well, the firmness of a mattress can greatly affect our sleep quality. Some of us prefer a soft, plush mattress that we can sink into, while others need a firmer surface for support. The Helix Sunset Mattress caters to these varying preferences by allowing users to adjust the firmness to their liking. This makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of sleepers.

Breathability and Cooling Properties

Another unique feature of the Helix Sunset Mattress is its breathability and cooling properties. Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night feeling hot and sweaty? With this mattress, that’s a thing of the past.

The secret lies in the materials used. The mattress features a special layer of breathable foam that promotes airflow, preventing heat from being trapped. Moreover, the cover is made from a soft-touch design that feels cool to the touch. These features work together to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night.

Pricing and Value

Now, let’s talk about the price. After all, a mattress is a significant investment, and we all want to ensure we’re getting good value for our money.

The price of the Helix Sunset Mattress varies depending on the size you choose. Compared to other similar products on the market, it falls within the mid-range price bracket. But considering the unique features it offers, such as customizable firmness and cooling properties, it provides excellent value for the price.

Ultimately, the value of a mattress cannot be determined by price alone. It’s about how well it meets your specific needs and improves your sleep quality. And the Helix Sunset Mattress, with its unique features and positive user feedback, seems to tick all the right boxes.

User Experience with Helix Sunset Mattress

When it comes to user experiences with the Helix Sunset Mattress, feedback has been largely positive. Customers commonly praise the mattress for its comfort, quality, and value for money. The customizable firmness feature is often highlighted as a significant advantage, allowing users to adjust the mattress to their preferred comfort level. However, as with any product, there have been a few complaints. Some users find the mattress too soft, even on the firmest setting. Others have noted that the mattress may take some time to fully expand after unboxing.

Sleep Trial, Warranty, and Shipping

One of the standout features of Helix is its customer-friendly policies on sleep trials, warranties, and shipping. The company offers a 100-night sleep trial, which is quite standard in the industry. This allows customers to test out the mattress in their own home before making a final decision. In addition, Helix provides a 10-year warranty, which is also in line with industry standards. Shipping is free within the United States, and the mattress is conveniently compressed and shipped in a box.

Who is the Helix Sunset Mattress Best For?

Given its features, the Helix Sunset Mattress is a great choice for a variety of sleepers. The adjustable firmness makes it suitable for both people who prefer a softer mattress and those who need more support. It’s particularly recommended for side and back sleepers, as the mattress offers excellent pressure relief in these positions. The breathability and cooling properties make it an ideal choice for those who tend to sleep hot. However, heavier individuals or those who prefer a very firm mattress may want to consider other options.

The Potential Downsides of the Helix Sunset Mattress

While the Helix Sunset Mattress has many appealing attributes, it’s important to consider some of the potential drawbacks reported by users. Not every product is a perfect fit for everyone, and this mattress is no exception.

Some users have reported that the mattress is too soft for their liking, especially those who prefer a firm sleeping surface. The softness of the mattress can also be a problem for heavier individuals who may require more support. Additionally, while the mattress does have cooling properties, some users have reported that it doesn’t dissipate heat as effectively as they would like.

Final Thoughts

After considering all aspects of the Helix Sunset Mattress, we’ve compiled a few key takeaways:

Here is a summary of the pros and cons of the Helix Sunset mattress:

Pros:

  • Soft and comfortable feel
  • Good pressure relief
  • Temperature regulation
  • Motion isolation

Cons:

  • May be too soft for some people, especially back and stomach sleepers
  • May not be supportive enough for heavier people

So, should you invest in a Helix Sunset Mattress? That depends on your personal needs and preferences. It’s a strong contender in the mattress market, offering features that cater to a variety of sleepers. However, it may not be the best choice for those seeking a very firm mattress or those who are heavier in weight.

Here are a few actionable steps you can take if you’re considering purchasing the Helix Sunset Mattress:

  1. Research: Take the time to dig deeper into the features of the Helix Sunset Mattress. Read user reviews on various platforms, not just on the Helix website.
  2. Consider Your Needs: Think about your sleeping habits and preferences. Are you a hot sleeper? Do you prefer a soft or firm mattress? Do you need a mattress that can accommodate a higher weight?
  3. Take Advantage of the Sleep Trial: If you’re still unsure, remember that Helix offers a sleep trial. This allows you to test the mattress in your own home before making a final decision.
