What is A Posturepedic Mattress?

We’re pretty sure you’ve heard the term Posturepedic thrown around in conversation about beds and mattresses, right?  But do you really know what a Posturepedic bed is and why it can be so beneficial to your body and sleep?

International bedding brand, Sealy, trademarked the term Posturepedic and designed a range of Posturepedic beds that were meant to be more than just springs and foam. In this blog, we’ll investigate what a Posturepedic mattress is including how it’s made and why it can actually enhance your sleep which has health benefits like improving your productivity, and mood.

What is A Posturepedic Mattress?

The word Posturepedic is a contraction of two words that were joined together to form a new word by the brand Sealy, many years ago. They merged the words posture and orthopaedic as a brand name for their range of beds that were made specifically to support the body and skeletal system.

Posture means the position of the body, and orthopaedic means the correct position of the skeleton and structure of the body, so the word Posturepedic is a merger of the two words to mean a focus on the correct posture of the body.

Let’s chat now about how the word Posturepedic relates to the mattresses created by Sealy and how they work.

How do Posturepedic Mattresses Work?

According to Sealy, a Posturepedic mattress may be the answer to your sleeping woes. The Posturepedic mattresses are designed to help you sleep in proper alignment, reducing back pain and improving your overall quality of sleep.

They are made with three parts in mind, namely support, comfort, and durability. According to Sealy, these three areas need to be in perfect alignment in order to create the most supportive, comfortable bed which in essence means;

• The spine is well supported to allow for the muscle around it to truly relax
• Pressure points of the body are relieved minimising the need to toss and turn at night
• Professionally designed by an orthopaedic surgeon to ensure the above two points are achieved during every sleep cycle.

The Benefits of a Posturepedic Mattress

Carrying on with these three areas in mind, the benefits of sleeping on a Posturepedic mattress are meant to enhance the three key parts in several ways;

Support

Support within a Posturepedic is all about open coils. Sealy coined the phrase Open Coil Technology which they use as the central key to the support structure within these mattresses. The springs are made of titanium alloy which is light, strong, and provides deep support to the body during the night. Essentially the open coil technology allows the mattress to sense your body weight and respond with the right amount of support needed through the coils.

Comfort

Now that support is taken care of by the springs in the mattress, it's time to take care of the comfort. In Posturepedic mattresses, layers and layers of foam work to provide the right comfort level and the right feel whether the buyer wants a soft, medium, or firm feel. These comfort layers of a Posturepedic mattress are made of memory foam and gel-infused visco that provide that signature cushioning that has come to be synonymous with these mattresses.

Durability

It was important to Sealy to make mattresses that were able to last a long time. They ensured that their Posturepedic design was quality tested at the highest standard to prevent general durability issues from happening like sagging at the edges and lumps occurring.
