  • E-Commerce Mattress Startup: Saatva
    E-commerce mattress startup: Saatva This mattress company's profits are nothing to snooze at 22-10-2014 By Brittany Shoot @brittanyshoot Courtesy: Saatva E-commerce mattress startup Saatva considers its product and customer service a dream come true. Anyone who has tried it lately can probably attest that mattress shopping isn’t exactly a bed of roses. Bed-in-a-box foam mattress e-tailers like Casper and Tuft and Needle have rightly earned rave reviews for cutting both cost and hassle. But comparing foam against traditional innerspring coil mattresses is misleading. It’s the exact sort of comparison that further obfuscates an already maddening decision between a dozen bone-white rectangles that all look and seem very much the same. In the recent tradition of a transparency-forward, online-only retail, there’s another contender rousing the rest of the industry from its fitful slumber: Saatva, which delivers its dual innerspring coil mattress direct to customers’ doors, at a starting price of $899. With the minimal overhead of e-commerce and despite the slow buying cycle associated with huge durable goods like mattresses, the company, which launched three years ago, has been profitable since its third month. Saatva’s revenue numbers demonstrate its industry stronghold: 300% growth year over year with projected revenue of $25 million this year and $45 million for 2015. It’s hard to understand how one direct-to-consumer mattress company could boast such staggering figures against multi-billion-dollar industry giants like Sealy and Serta. That is, unless you’ve encountered the confusing mattress- buying process punctuated by mystifying markups and obtuse labeling.

  • Congratulations on Your New Beautyrest® Mattress!
    CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BEAUTYREST ® MATTRESS! To receive service under the terms of the warranty, contact your original Beautyrest® dealer. If the dealer is no longer in business or you have moved outside its service area, see below to contact Simmons Consumer Services. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS PROPER USE Use a supportive, rigid, non-yielding foundation to support your mattress, preferably by purchasing the matching Beautyrest® or Simmons® foundation. An old foundation unit may not provide sufficient support. Likewise an older frame (with or without an appropriate foundation) may not provide sufficient support. If used with a foundation, use a frame that provides rigid center support as well as support for the head, foot, and sides. For any queen or king frame that does not have a metal center support, you must use at least 5 hardwood or metal slats (1” x 4”) and add legs to the 3 center slats. By not providing a sufficient supportive frame, damage can occur to the product that will void your warranty. If used without a foundation (e.g. with a platform bed), add a solid platform on top of any open slatted mattress support system in which the spaces between the slats are greater than 2 inches (5 centimeters). Hardboard, plywood, particleboard or a similar material, inserted between the mattress and the slatted platform, supporting the entire surface of the mattress will provide appropriate support. Use of an open slatted mattress support system in which the spaces between the slats are greater than 2 inches (5 centimeters), without the addition of a solid platform, will damage your mattress and void your warranty.

    DESIGNING AND PRODUCING NON-WOVEN FABRICS USED AS INSULATOR LAYERS IN INNERSPRING MATTRESSES Dr. Nahla Fawzy Ahmed Assistant Professor, Spinning and Weaving Dept., Faculty of Applied Arts / Helwan University, Egypt ABSTRACT Mattress is a large pad for supporting the reclining body, used as a bed or a part of a bed and are generally consisted of two different layers, the comfort layer and the support layer, the comfort layer comprises of materials such as polyurethane foam, polyester fabric and natural fibers. The support layer or innerspring unit is created with a series of coils and springs. This support layer acts as the core of the mattress. This research aims to produce non-woven fabrics suitable for using as insulator layer in innerspring mattress whereas the insulator pad is put directly on top of the coils to keep the spring from pushing through the padding material or to insulate the upholstery from the core and to absorb the resulted stresses from the motion of the innerspring. Non-woven technique was used to produce 9 samples. Two types of textile materials were used, polyester, waste and reinforced waste. Polyester fabrics is produced using two types of fibers count (9 den., 15 den.) ,two types of fibers melting at (100 oC, 130 oC) then the polyester fabrics pass between two hot calendars at 120 oC, waste fabrics pass between two hot calendars at 100 oC. Reinforced waste is produced using woven polypropylene ribbons. Tests are carried out to evaluate the samples produced under study. The obtained test results are presented and discussed.
