NO BAFFLES ROCK & ROLL! | |||||||||||
SOFT | 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 37+ seconds Sales of this type of mattress is about 5%

2 Light Layers ALMOST ROCK & ROLL | |||||||||||||||||||||
SEMI WAVE- LESS |
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% Settles in about 18 seconds

2 Layer I LIKE A LOT OF MOVEMENT BUT NOT EXTREME |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MEDIUM This range has been incorrectly and loosely termed waveless in the past |
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 12% Settles in about 12 seconds

FIRM1 & FIRM2 This range has been incorrectly and loosely termed waveless in the past |
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 47% Settles in about 7 seconds

Three heavy Layers [700] I DON'T WANT TO MOVE AROUND A LOT I NEED SOMETHING FIRM FOR MY BACK BUT I DON'T WANT IT HARD and I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP ON TOP OF A HILL WHEN MY PARTNER IS IN BED |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EXTRA FIRM |
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 36% Settles in about 4 seconds

Three heavy Layers [700] And one light Layer [350] I NEED SOME BACK SUPPORT AND MY PARTNER IS A LIGHT PERSON DON'T WANT MUCH MOVEMENT |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
HARD | 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 Sales in this range are less than 1% Settles in about 1 second
