Fabrics What kind of fabrics are your mattresses covered with?
� Nature's Rest products are covered in all cotton or high cotton content fabrics. We have always sought the best materials in an effort to build the most comfortable mattresses. Certain important facts that may not be obvious should be pointed out:
  1. Durable cotton can arrive in many different weaves, patterns and colors. Some are readily available to our supply needs and others are hard get or hard to keep in stock.

  2. Ticking suppliers are selected for their ability to deliver on time and meet our needs.

  3. Our fabrics have to be available in 90" widths to build King and Queen bedding.

  4. The feel when you touch a fabric is called "the hand". Think of the "hand" on an all cotton canvas duffle bag compared to the hand on an all cotton percale sheet. Strength may not always provide comfort; a soft hand may not always provide durability. These factors also weigh into our ticking selections.
We were once asked if any of our fabrics contained any formaldehydes - a fairly common trace element found in some inexpensive fabrics used in the bedding industry. The answer is a resounding NO! The fact is, nothing in our products contains or produces any carcinogens or other wise unsavory byproducts. Sleep well�with that knowledge and know too that the cheaper the bed you buy, the more likely you are to find those unfortunate elements in place.

Quilting Do your mattresses feel warmer to sleep on than regular mattresses?
� It's possible that some people will feel that way, but not everyone. Any mattress that contours as well as ours will supply more body contact points and this may feel a little warmer for a while. Over time the body adjust generally however, and that effect lessens.

The Nature's Rest quilting concepts are based the most successful quilt packages in the US bedding industry. We then made a few modifications to take into account the fact that a latex core was involved instead of steel springs.

  1. Nature's Rest fabrics are quilted to Dacron fiber with wool or silk blends for additional comfort values. Silk fibers help make the overall effect of the quilted panel cooler. Wool fibers add strength and durability as well as warmth for winter or cooler climates.

  2. High quality super-soft urethane foam - in thin layers, when quilted for use over a latex core offer a comfort and appearance value that will last. Since the extreme pressure of a steel spring unit is absent, the urethane will last longer and help keep the sleeper cooler, serving with the fiber blends as a wicking barrier for perspiration and skin temperature regulation.

  3. Utilizing state of the art quilting machines we frequently use a "tack and jump" stitch pattern that allows you to feel the benefits of the conforming characteristics of the comfort layers below. Tacking the fabric, fiber and foam layers together in one area, the needle jumps to another spot and creates more open and conforming space in the quilt pattern.

    When closer continuous stitch patterns are used they are generally intended to add a little more firmness.

    These options provide variety for the many different individual preferences for personal comfort that we encounter in the world market.

Pillow Tops Why don't you have more pillow top models?
� One of the most popular types of beds the past 15 years, the pillow top is undeniable evidence that people want more comfort and less pressure. Early inner spring mattresses in the first half of the 20th Century sagged terribly and caused a lot of back pain. The remedy was to seek firmer and firmer steel springs. This eventually led to the need for softer cushioning on top�this of course has led to the current dilemma of body impressions in the soft top pillow top mattresses! They are everywhere. What to do?

Take out the harsh steel spring.

The result, we start with a core that will not produce as much pressure on mattress padding or hips, shoulders, and other sensitive joints in the body. Capillary blood flow through the body also travels more freely and you sleep better - less tossing and turning. Plus�it just feels sooo much better!

Today's pillow top designs continue to get thicker and more stuffed with components that force you to buy more expensive sheets and linens, can harbor dust mites, compact into depressions and leave you sleeping in a "hole". You can by-pass that entire hassle and achieve the rest nature intends for you to enjoy, the deep sleep of comfort found only in Nature's Rest. *

� How do your beds differ from the other foams beds I've heard so much about? �or, Is this bed that "hand imprint" foam we've read about?

There are many foam cushioning materials. Some of these are excellent ingredients with a specific purpose in a variety of fine mattress brands.

Most well known among all the foam mattresses is latex foam rubber. It has been around the longest (the first debut was aboard the luxury liner HMS Queen Mary in 1929) and when most people speak of a foam mattress these original design latex mattresses are what they have in mind. Believe it or not, some of these early products dating back to the 1950's are still in service! Nature's Rest is an entirely new level of engineering and technology from those days but our roots are strong and well respected.

The most well known modern foam is undoubtedly Tempur Pedic's Swedish "memory" foam. Similar foam material is also produced in the US and other countries as Visco Elastic, Memory Foam, Pressure Reducing Foam, Slow Recovery Foam, Body Contour Foam and a wide array of trade names that all spell out the same feature - a unique "spongy" feel and a "slow recovery" or "memory" aspect that leaves an imprint of the body that slowly reshapes even after you get up off the product. Pretty cool�.

This foam's ability to contour to the body's shape has made it a huge hit with thousands of people worldwide. The foam is technically a form of polyurethane that has special additives that create a self-adhesion property for a few seconds, and then �slowly, the adhesive gives up and releases allowing the foam to return to shape. Pretty cool�

It is temperature sensitive in that it actually absorbs body heat into the foam and this increases it's ability to be flexible and soft. Conversely, as room temperature drops so too does the products ability to maintain its conformance characteristics. In addition, the "pocket" that forms around the body as the body is absorbed into the foam will limit airflow around the skin and increase this heat exchange. Hmmm, maybe not so cool�

These types of foams contour beautifully and add a feel that is extraordinary. They typically do not extend construction designs beyond 3" of depth for this product because as you sink into the foam�you keep sinking� without any reflex support offered by the foam itself. Latex, by contrast, is a rubber product that contains its own rebound, reflexes and gentle lifting support. Built in layers of varying firmness Nature's Rest designed sleep systems optimize minimum pressure and maximum support for the body.

Be sure to investigate the nature (if you will�) of support elements used below the "fancy foam" when shopping these designs - springs, polyurethane cores, even latex are used in final designs - as is always the case, buy the best bed you can afford, your health depends on it.
