Mattress options have changed much in the last decade or two. Technology is driving manufacturers to rethink what a bed is capable of and consumers are reaping the benefits.<\/p>\n
We all like sleep. Thankfully, there are dozens of teams of brilliant people currently working on the next best thing in sleep technology. The fruits of their labors end up in our bedrooms and make life a little better for us all. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the hot new innovations that you can get your hands on if you\u2019re in the market for a new mattress.<\/p>\n
Coil, or innerspring mattresses were first invented in the 1900s. Typically they were covered in soft fabric or wool. As foams were introduced, they largely replaced the fabrics and even the coil bases. Now you can find latex, memory foam, innerspring and a host of other types of mattresses<\/a> in a number of combinations out on the market.<\/p>\n Things have simultaneously become more and less complex in the mattress world as of late. Currently, you can buy mattresses with nanotechnology in them designed to keep temperatures optimal. At the same time, consumers are really starting to notice mattresses that use fewer chemicals and synthetics and demand less environmentally-harmful materials and processes be used in manufacturing.<\/p>\n You may overlook mattress covers and their potential for comfort and health benefits, but rest assured, there are people working on it. The mattress cover plays an important role in the breathability and comfort of the materials within, making it more than just an afterthought. Two of the most promising technologies currently available are Celliant-infused covers and silver-infused covers. Which is the best mattress technology? Judge for yourself.<\/p>\n All mattresses from Amerisleep are covered in Celliant-infused fabric. Celliant is a pretty remarkable material with clinically proven health benefits.<\/a> It’s made from a potent variety of \u00a0thermo-reactive minerals that convert your excess body heat into beneficial infrared light. Not to be confused with ultraviolet light, infrared light is on the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum and has been used by health experts<\/a> for its healing properties.<\/p>\n Silver has long been known for its antimicrobial<\/a> properties. In recent years, manufacturers have been infusing it in various fabrics for the benefits it provides. Now some mattress covers are even made with silver. The silver helps to keep microbes from living in the fibers of the mattress cover. There is some evidence that silver can migrate from treated fabrics and cause harm in the environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not all foams are made from the same materials, nor using the same foam technologies. Traditionally, the majority of foams are made from polyurethane bases, using a variety of chemicals and petroleum-based ingredients. That being said, there are some pretty remarkable foam technologies proving that some folks are still trying to make the best mattress.<\/p>\n Plant-based foams are are relatively new in the mattress world. They are made from oils derived from soybeans and other vegetables. Every mattress in the Amerisleep collection is made from plant-based memory foam. Other brands like Serta are also infusing traditional foams with materials like graphene, charcoal, and other plant extracts designed to offer additional benefits.<\/p>\n The two mattress foam technologies we take a look at here are graphene-infused foam and plant-based foams.<\/p>\nBest Mattress Cover Technology<\/h2>\n
