Select Comfort Bed vs Innerspring Mattress
The Number bed has an air chamber to provide support that can be adjusted to your own “sleep number”. A Innerspring mattress supports the body with spring cores often called inner-springs. Inner springs are normally made up of steel coil springs. Typically most Americans still use a traditional innerspring mattress. Lets take a look and compare Select Comfort bed vs innerspring mattress.
Select Comfort Bed
The Sleep by Number is made up of a natural 24-gauge rubber heat bonded chamber. The chambers are laminated with 100 percent non stretch cotton for stability and comfort. The Select Comfort Bed has been tested and it is found that it can withstand 1000 pounds and is virtually puncture resistant. The firmness control system allows you to select a sleep comfort level from 0 to 100. The Number bed will give the perfect sleeping comfort for the individual. Border walls on the adjustable air mattresses help to evenly distribute weight for edge to edge support. The boarder walls are made from of a strong dense block of foam. Also there is a center section of foam between the two air chambers in the dual beds for movement and varied firmness to reduce partner disturbance. The foam comfort pads on the top of the air chamber are zipped inside the mattress cover which provides the cushioning and softness. There are three types of foam comfort padding in the Select Comfort Bed.
Innerspring Mattress
In the construction of a coil mattress the main source of support for the body is the spring and coil unit system. There should be at least 300 coils in a double bed, 375 in a queen bed and 450 in a king size bed. There are several shapes and types of coils that go into a innerspring mattress. There are hourglass shaped springs, continuous coil springs, open ended coils and pocket springs.
There is a padding layer on the innerspring mattress with a of variety fillings and different materials. Todays mattress are much thicker than they used to be. Reason being that a innerspring mattress is made with many more layers ranging from fiber padding to layers of foam (including viscoelastic or memory foam and latex). The further your body is away from the spring mechanisms with the padding the more comfortable a mattress will be. You can not adjust the comfort level with a innerspring mattress as you can with the Sleep by Number system but it all depends on the comfort of an individual.
