Below is a reference chart that offers the specs. for our six
Tempflow™ mattress models. We use
terms like "plush" to describe a deeper level of comfort, rather than just a
surface softness. We have even offered some guidelines for which
mattresses can be used, depending on your sleeping situation. However,
this is only a guide and we hope that you will ask your sales representative or call us
direct at

*Plush is a way of describing a more penetrating comfort.
Something can be soft in feel, but it may not conform properly to your
body. Therefore, a very plush layer will allow you to sink in
deeper, making it more pressure relieving. |

The Doctor's Take
Dr. Rick
Swartzburg, D.C.
V.P. of Product Development
|
The immediately softer surface
offers pressure point reduction for the joints, but the less stiff
base may not work for certain back pain sufferers. |
The stiffer/firmer surface will give less
pressure point reduction for the joints, but it will offer more spinal
support for heavier individuals and back pain sufferers. |
The soft over thicker and firmer SD
Biogreen surface gives a dimension of comfort, with the most optimal
support. The stiffer base will work well for heavier individuals,
back sleepers, and most back pain sufferers. |
The evenly split soft over firmer
surface, combined with the flex layer and firmer base, allows this
mattress to excel in comfort and support for side sleepers or those who
need a more forgiving mattress, without too much sinking. |
This hybrid mattress is perfect for those
who want something between a memory foam and inner-spring design.
You will still get a soft surface, but the Flex-Comfort layer makes this
model more buoyant and therefore, perfect for those who do not like an
overly plush mattress. |
Its very soft and quick reacting surface
works rapidly in any environment to provide you with optimal pressure
point reduction for the joints, while still supporting the back with its
resilient lower layers. |
With the most use of the stiffer/firmer
SD Biogreen in the surface layers, greater depth of body penetration
will occur, while still providing optimal support. This allows this
mattress reduce pressure for the shoulders and hips, while suiting
heavier individuals, back sleepers, and most back pain sufferers. |
With the most combined usage of evenly
split the softer and firmer Biogreen surface and flex layer underneath,
this is the ultimate in comfort and support. This will work best
for side sleepers and those who need a more forgiving mattress that will
optimally cradle the user in a virtually weightless sleep. |
