Spring Mattress Systems

A mattress is typically a large, usually square shaped pad for supporting an adult laying on his or her back, with the mattress sitting on top. Typically, it is intended to only be used as a primary bed, or as a base pad on a guest bed, rather than being used for sleeping. This bed arrangement is most common in children’s bedrooms. Some adults may also choose not to have a mattress in their bedroom for one reason or another.

Mattresses are constructed from a number of materials, but typically consist of either memory foam or polyester/cotton blends with a layer of liquid, or air-filled bladders between the two layers of cloth. The liquid is usually either supplied by the manufacturer or must be bought separately. Mattress pads are generally used as additional sleeping comfort and support, rather than as primary support, and so have a slightly different design and construction. Some mattress pads are quite firm, and others are very soft, providing customized comfort according to individual sleeping preferences. They are also available in other types of materials that serve a dual purpose as comfort and added support: like down and feather.

Foam Mattress Calgary

Mattresses come in many shapes and sizes. Typically, most sleep systems today contain three main layers. The first layer is a thick, coarse layer that offers the primary support. The second layer is more plush and comfortable, and has smaller pockets on the surface to provide additional comfort. And finally there is the innermost layer, which is generally made from memory foam or polyester/cotton blends of various thicknesses. These three layers combine to provide the comfort of traditional spring bedding, without the bulk and expense.
