Comprehensive Look at Mattress Layers
Both memory foam mattresses and tempurpedic style mattresses are constructed with a layer on layer design. This article will compare two ultra luxury level beds one from Select Foam® made with visco elastic memory foam and the Tempur-pedic’s® mattress.
Select Foam® offers the 15” Grandis HD™ as a top of the line luxury option. The 15” Grandis HD™ was reviewed on the AOL® Luxist.com site which is a product review site for top end products. The Select Foam® 15” Grandis HD™ offers a cashmere cover, the thick 8 pound high density memory foam layer offering a 15 inch mattress profile constructed of layer on layer of comfort and support including 4 inches of visco elastic memory foam.
This layer is combined with a 5.3 pound support layer, channelled airflow and the Select Foam® Venue 8 pound comfort layer which offers 2 inches of comfort. This works in concert with the support layer of open cell memory foam which is also 2 inch thick with 5 pound density and sits above the airflow chamber which allows the sleeper to sleep in cool comfort. The airflow chamber layer of the Select Foam® 15” Grandis HD™ provides the top layer of air cooled comfort on the thick orthopaedic base foam layer which is made from a firm, dense polyurethane base.
The combination of orthopaedic base foam, air flow channel system, 2 inch support layer (5 lb) and 2 inch 8 lb high density comfort layer combines to make a 15 inch profile all wrapped in a removable cashmere cover. The cover is treated with Select Foam® patented Fire Blocker® technology to keep your bed fire safe.
The Select Foam® 15” Grandis HD™ is hypo allergenic, allergen and dust mite free. The inner layer offers another layer of protection from dust mites, bed bugs and other allergen irritants. The Select Foam® 15” Grandis HD™ also comes with a 90 day in home sleep trial with a 100% money back refund. Select Foam® also offers a life time warranty, white glove delivery and interest free financing.
The feel of the Select Foam® 15” Grandis HD™ is luxurious and plush, the 8 lb layer of density is an inch thicker than the Tempur-pedic® GrandBed™ and the convenience of being able to remove the cashmere cover is a Select Foam® 15” Grandis HD™ feature not found in the tempurpedic model.
In contrast the Tempur-pedic® GrandBed™ also offers a 15 inch profile.
The 8 inch air flow base is topped with 4 inches of Tempur support which is
5.3 pounds of density, and 1.2 inches of the tempur-HD comfort layer which is
7.0 pounds of density and another 1.2 inches of the same comfort layer quilted
in the cover. The Tempur-pedic® GrandBed™ is wrapped in a silk blend
cover. The Tempur-pedic® GrandBed™ comes with a 20 year warranty.
The most significant difference you will see is in the price difference between
the Tempur-pedic® GrandBed™ and the Select Foam® Grandis HD™
bed. The Tempur-pedic® GrandBed™ starts at $6,299 for the Queen Mattress
only and runs to $7,799 for the California King with the foundation. On the
other hand the Select Foam® Grandis HD™ starts at $2,849 for the full
size complete and goes to $4,199 for the California King fully loaded with frame,
foundation and the massage feature.
Both beds offer a wide range of health benefits including freedom from the irritation of pressure point contacts that occur with old fashioned spring or coil mattresses. The tempurpedic and Select Foam® Visco Elastic Memory Foam provide contoured comfort that supports the spine, joints and bones allowing relief from the pain, tossing and turning that is found with the spring mattresses. The extra density, cashmere luxury and price set the Select Foam® Grandis HD™ as the better value for your dollar.
