A lot of Hotels experimented with full foam mattresses in the early nineties. When they did they pleasantly discovered that guests actually noticed and commented on how comfortable and relaxing the mattresses were.

The research wasn't particularly scientific. Hotel staff merely recorded the comments of a number of regular guests that were asked to grade each model. Their choice, based on nothing more than a comfortable night's sleep, was full foam.

Based on the research and the overwhelming response by their guests, some Hotels changed all their beds to foam mattresses and have not looked at conventional spring mattresses since.

Customers who have slept on foam specifically ask for a full foam mattress when they make their reservations. Similarly, people who have slept on foam in a Hotel are coming to us and replacing their mattress at home with a full foam sleep system. That is why full foam is the fastest growing sleep surface.

• Most commercial mattresses are made with lower density polyurethane foam grades that range from 1.3 lbs to 1.9 lbs in density. We know because we supply them.
• Polyurethane grades soften up quicker with use and more than High Resiliency (HR) grades. Some are made with Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) to make the foam fire retardant. These chemicals have been linked to numerous health problems. None of our grades contain PBDEs.
• We can supply you with any polyurethane grade or you may want to go with one of our exclusive higher density, longer lasting, bio-foam grades. The choice is yours.
  • Good Ecocell 2.0 lb high density polyurethane, some soy content, white colour

Foam Goes to Hospital

It is not uncommon to hear that hospital and nursing home mattresses are less than comfortable. But now there are indications that these complaints could be more serious than a little short term patient discomfort. Along with suggestions that a relaxed sleep speeds healing and recovery, decubitus ulcers, more commonly known as bedsores, have become a bewildering and costly, healthcare concern.

Foam Overlays are Popular

Foam overlays, a two to three inch thick pad of traditional "eggcrate" convolute, were the most popular solution until memory foam arrived on the scene. Although convolute is still widely used, it is the memory foam toppers that have been proven as a better alternative that provide patients with comfort and reduce pressure oriented sores.
