and News New Research Suggests Most People Have Wrong Mattress Type DALLAS, Texas -- May 30, 2008 -- New research shows that innerspring mattresses, the type of mattress that most people buy and sleep on every night, rate significantly behind other types of mattresses in comfort, sleep quality and durability. The research, conducted by SleepLikeTheDead.com, shows clearly that owners of mattresses that use latex, memory foam, air or water for primary support are more satisfied with their beds than owners who have innerspring-based mattresses. Specifically, 55% of innerspring mattress owners found their bed to be comfortable, while 84% of non-innerspring bed owners found their bed to be comfortable. "The main problem innerspring mattress owners have with their beds has to do with premature sagging," says Nick Robinson, creator of SleepLikeTheDead.com. "This means that, within just a few years, the beds can sag significantly and leave body impressions, undermining comfort." Other mattress types, by contrast, usually have more resistance against sagging, according to the research. The research does not imply that innerspring beds are necessarily wrong for everyone. Some individuals may, in fact, find innerspring mattresses suitable for them and their personal preferences. What the research does indicate is that -- as a group -- people typically find innerspring-based mattresses to be inferior to other mattress types. Detailed findings of the research can be found at http://www.sleeplikethedead.com/bed-mattress-review-home.html About the Research The research is based on over 3,000 reviews / comments of actual bed owners collected from over 300 online message boards between January 5, 2008 and May 15, 2008.
