Which Healthy Mattress is Right for Me?

If you have...

Environmental Allergies: Tempur-Pedic® mattresses are ideal for people who suffer from perennial indoor allergies. Dust mites cannot live inside the TEMPUR® material, and it's naturally resistant to mold and other microbes. Similarly, Royal-Pedic Natural Latex Mattresses and Royal-Pedic Organic Natural Latex Mattresses feature natural latex that is naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and resistant to dust mites. Natural latex also conforms to body contours for a comfortable sleep. If you prefer a Royal-Pedic Cotton Mattress or Royal-Pedic Organic Cotton Mattress, be sure to cover the mattress with Allergy Armor™ to avoid dust mite infestation.

Chemical Sensitivities: The Royal-Pedic Organic Cotton Mattress is made from 100% organic Peruvian cotton that's grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Custom built without the use of formaldehyde, glues, dyes, resins, polyurethane foam, or synthetic latex, this all-natural mattress scores points with the chemically sensitive as well as the environmentally friendly. The standard organic mattress requires a doctor's note for purchase because it does not contain any flame-retardant chemicals; however, you may order the Royal-Pedic Organic Cotton Mattress with a wool wrap without a doctor's note, as the hypoallergenic wool acts as a natural flame retardant and meets all fire safety codes. While some chemically sensitive customers do not like the odor of a new Tempur-Pedic® mattress, the scent disappears after a few days. Those with chemical sensitivities will be glad to know that Tempur-Pedic® beds are free of chlorofluorocarbons and formaldehyde.

Chronic Pain: While all Tempur-Pedic® and Royal-Pedic mattresses provide exceptional orthopedic support, two particular models are specifically designed to eliminate chronic back pain: The Pro-HealthCore Bed by Tempur-Pedic™ features three individual body zones for therapeutic back support and comfort; it's like having a lumbar support system built into your mattress. The Royal-Pedic 7-Zone Natural Latex Mattress also features different zones that vary in firmness (the firmest being lumbar zone).

Sleep Disorders: Nothing fights insomnia like a comfortable bed! Medical research proves that Tempur-Pedic mattresses can be used to effectively treat various sleep disorders, as well as arthritis, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, and other medical conditions. The Tempur-Pedic® Adjustable Sleep System® is often prescribed for sleep apnea, acid reflux disease (GERD), and hiatal hernias. The Royal-Pedic Deluxe Adjustable Bed is also available, with a natural latex mattress or quilt-top natural latex mattress.

If you want...

A Very Firm Mattress: The firmest mattresses include The Royal-Pedic All Cotton Mattress, Royal-Pedic Organic Cotton Mattress, and Royal-Pedic Organic Cotton Mattress with Wool Wrap. While none of the Tempur-Pedic® mattresses are very firm (since the TEMPUR® material conforms to your body), the firmest include The RhapsodyBed by Tempur-Pedic™ and The OriginalBed by Tempur-Pedic™.

A Very Plush Mattress: No sleep surface is more plush than the tick, pillow tops of The GrandBed by Tempur-Pedic™ and The CelebrityBed by Tempur-Pedic™ with their thick, pillow tops. Royal-Pedic's Royal Cloud Pillowtop Mattress has an extra thick cloud top for the ultimate in plush luxury and comfort.

An Organic Mattress: Made from 100% organic cotton, the Royal-Pedic Organic Cotton Mattress is constructed without formaldehyde, glues, dyes, resins, polyurethane foam, or synthetic latex. It's perfect for the chemically sensitive as well as the environmentally friendly. The standard organic mattress requires a doctor's note for purchase because it does not contain any flame-retardant chemicals; however, you may order the Royal-Pedic Organic Cotton Mattress with a wool wrap without a doctor's note since the hypoallergenic wool acts as a natural flame retardant and meets all fire safety codes.

An Adjustable Mattress: If you think it's hard to get out of bed now, just wait'll you try an adjustable mattress! Choose from the Tempur-Pedic® Adjustable Sleep System® or the Royal-Pedic Deluxe Adjustable Electric Bed. Both adjustable beds feature fingertip controls, smooth adjustments, and built-in massage units for that much-needed release of tension.

The Best Mattress: The GrandBed by Tempur-Pedic™ reigns supreme with its silk-blend cover. (Too bad it's not available on an adjustable frame!)
