Bed Basics

Anatomy of a Bed

Beds are typically made of several layers, each performing a different role, all assisting in providing the sleeper with the two critical elements of needed for a good night's sleep.

Comfort: Comfort layers are made of varying types of foam, fibre and material. Using different combinations of different materials yields different feel profiles and comfort levels.

Support: Support is provided by the bottom layers of a bed. Usually constructed of springs or foam the support layers help keep the sleepers back aligned, preventing them from sagging into the mattress.
