Below are descriptions on mattress performances. Please note that this is a guide only and if you require accuracy then it is best to lay on beds in our showroom. However the information is a accumulation of nearly 20 years in the industry. When selling mattresses over the phone we refer to the below guide. We have a accuracy of around 95%.

[Details on measuring performance]

Movement
This test is conducted, filled to specifications. In our test there are no people on the bed or bedding items with the exception of the lambs wool or quilted cover. Please note that with the zip on/off covers, which are standard with the soft sider beds, and with the reduction of water volume, wave motion is reduced so you can't directly compare a timber frame bed to a soft sider. Our test is to sharply push down one corner of the mattress until you can't go any further, and wait.
Times are approximate.

Mattresses by Hardeness

  NO BAFFLES    ROCK & ROLL!
SOFT
TEP 0
   This mattress contains no internal baffling. It is refered to as a standard or full float bladder For one person the mattress will move around a lot and will settle down reasonably quickly For two people of near equal weight, the movement of one will disturb the other for about five to seven seconds. There are still a few who adore this type of mattress where movement is not an issue. For two people of different weights, the lighter one will sleep higher than the heavier partner. This type of mattress will contour into different body shapes with equal support all around If movement is not an issue then this bed should be ideal. For back pain where movement is not an issue, you may want to test this one. Those who don't mind movement and suffer from pressure points, this is probably the one
Movement 60+ seconds
Sales of this type of mattress is about 7%

TEP 100-800
   Mattresses with a minor amount of baffles are nealy a waste of time and sales interest is reflected accordingly. The baffles will dampen movement a small amount. There is very little baffle support With couples of different weights, the lighter one will still sleep higher
Sales in this group is very low. Less than 1%

This range has been incorrectly and loosely termed waveless in the past
TEP 900-1200
   Now we are starting to really notice a reasonable amount of dampening of wave action. Extra baffle support from underneath is getting better but still in the lower level For the lighter single person who likes a little movent but not overwhelming it is a possible choice Couples of equal weight will still have a lot of movement but far less than a full float The lighter partner in couples some weight difference will still sleep highter but notably less
Sales are still very low in this range. About 2%

This range has been incorrectly and loosely termed waveless in the past
TEP 1300-1800
   Now we are entering into a popular range. Although this range still has some degree of movement It is a main choice for those who like to feel a little wave action, have some baffle support and still contour nicely to body curves. For singles and lighter couples wave action stops reasonably quickly with a more gentle wave action. The lighter partner in couples where there is a reasonable degree of weight difference will still sleep higher, but nowhere near the degree of a standard full float mattress Those who suffer from pressure points and require some stability usually go for this range
Sales increase sharply in this range about 30%
Settles in about 9 seconds and 7 seconds respectively

TEP 1900-2200
   We are now entering into another very popular range. Wave action in this range is greatly reduced and baffle support is reasonably strong. Singles and light couples usually stop at this level as support is strong. Couples with reasonable weight difference also have a passion for this range as the lighter partner is not sleeping much higher that the heavier partner. We get more complements about our mattresses here. Those who require stability and support for their backs usually start in this range This is usually the upper range for those who require support and suffer from pressure points
Sales are very high in this range about 50%

HARD
TEP 2300-2500
   Being one stage up from the previous range there is more support and stability. Some lighter couples are starting to find this range hard. For those who require support and stability find this range usefull This range notably starts another process called compression. The baffle thickness now near the depth of the mattress now compresses when someone lays on it as the baffle now touches the top and bottom of the mattress skin
