The Right Mattress for a Healthy Life!
I have owned mattress stores over 25 years. I have found that the Swedish hand sprung mattresses are far more superior than most domestic brands. The Swedes are the innovators for most of the technology and advancements to date. They engineer their beds from the bottom up, meaning the boxsprings are made of special coils that interact with different types of coils in the top mattress.This gives the body and spine the support needed for the curvature of each different body type. You should feel weightless and suspended while sleeping, this reduces any unneeded pressure on the joints and muscles, thus allowing proper blood flow. In America most manufacturers will make the mattress from the top down, this means they add layers of filling materials on top of hardened coils. Our bodies end up in a swale position due to the filling materials breaking down over time.Studies show that materials used for sleep surfaces are better for us when natural. Natural filling materials will allow breathability and air passage,this keeps any unwanted body heat wicking away from you. The analogy is; if we were to lay on a piece of plastic we would start perspiring, this is because there is no air flow and your body heat repels right back at you .This is disruptive to your sleep and causes tossing and turning.
Although Swedish brands like Hastens ,Carpe Diem and Duxiana are not inexpensive, they are well worth the investment. These beds can range anywhere from $3000 to $35,000. Remember we are in our beds 7-8 hours a night and in our cars on average 1hour a day. We must start looking at sleep more objectively by understanding the direct impact it has, both positive and negative ways.

About the Author
History of Spencers Mattress.
o 1986-1989
o A Store Is Born
To think it all started with a 21 year old entrepreneur. Spencer Simcik was always a self motivated and ambicious kid. During his youth he was always dreaming and working hard in the community mowing lawns cleaning pools,washing cars, even harvesting and selling mistletoe at Christmas time. Little did he know he was destined for success. Spencer graduated highschool in 1983. He went to college to pursue a basketball scholarship. Six months later he knew school was not going to be the way to fulfill his dreams. In 1984 Spencer went to work for a small furniture store as a delivery person and soon worked his way to head of customer service. While working at the furniture store Spencer managed to save a small amount of money. In 1986 Spencer, threw it all on the line and signed a $90,000 retail lease for his first mattress store. Spencer was one of the first pioneers in California to specialize in mattresses exclusively. Mattresses were purchased primarily at department stores and furniture stores. Spencer figured if he specializes in a niche market segment, he would build a lifelong clientele and following. In fact he has. His first clients still call him for his expertise.
o 1990-1993
o Moving Up In The World
In 1886 Spencer had the vision to open a chain of mattress stores. Spencer opened his second store with a twist, he bought some old manufacturing equipment and started making custom mattresses for his customers. He has always been industrious and wanted to have a complete understanding from the bottom up. His knowlwdge of the mattress industry far exceedes most business owners. Spencer is widely known for his design and innovation skills and has consulted with top level brands. Spencer now designs and distributes his own brand of mattresses called OptiRest. He uses the finest raw materials available. By creating his own brand he can save the consumer up to 30% as compared to major brands. His stores offer a wide variety of well known brands, such as Sealy, Simmons Stearns and Foster in addition to the finest brands from around the world, Hastens, Carpe Diem from Sweden and Natura from Canada . His stores are one few in the country that cater to the budget cautious price shopper to the ultra luxury consumer where there is no budget. What ever your needs, you are sure to get an honest assessment and full education to prepare you for making the right decision.
o 1991-2002
o Read All About It
Flexing his marketing muscle, Spencer created splashy ad campaigns to bring people in the door. People started seeing the huge stacks of mattresses everywhere - on billboards, delivery trucks, and even in parking lots. Spencers' business philosophy is simple;"invest in your customers and they will invest with you. He maintains ultra clean showrooms and invests in a large inventory so customers can get their merchandise immediately. Spencer laughs when he quotes an old merchants saying;"Im inventory rich and cash poor". He claims, "it's not the cash in the bank that makes you money it's the inventory in the warehouse that gets the biggest return". His business model became as refined as his mattresses over the next 11 years. Soon Friends and family wanted to open stores and sell his brand. Before he knew it Spencer was the visionary, leader and catalyst to over 22 stores nationwide. Each store is independently owned and operated.
o 2003 - 2010
o New Trends - Specialty Sleep and Health!
Spencers intuition and experience spots a new trend. Over the years Spencer noticed consumers purchased mattresses based on price and comfort, but there was rarely a consideration regarding the benefits of health through proper sleep. Spencer spent a year researching mattresses that are beneficial to overall health and body rejuvenation. He traveled worldwide from Canada to Sweden . He calls Sweden " the sleep capital of the world" They are far more advanced in sleep studies. He found there are three reasons most likely to obstruct sleep. First, was lack proper spinal alignment which has to do with the type of coil and or core the mattress is consisted of. If the core of the mattress is not engineered correctly it could adversely affect the correct sleep position. Second, the internal filling materials.There are hundreds of filling materials. The purpose of the filling materials are to alieviate uncomfortable pressure points. Pressure on muscles and joints can cause constricted blood flow and poor circulation, which in turn may cause the heart rate to increase. The sooner we can get to what is called REM sleep the better. This is when our growth hormones and immune system rebuilds. Finaly, the type of top material commonly known as quilting is important.The more natural materials used, such as cotton,wool,flax and even an age old secret, horse hair the easier it is to control body core temperature by wicking heat and moisture away from your body. If we keep our body temperature normal we are less apt to toss and turn. Simcik says; my objective when I work with clients is to create the healthiest sleep environment as I possibly can, while maintaining the integrity of their price expectations while still maintaining superior craftsmanship.
o The Revolution
Spencer's endless persuit to exceed expectations has made him a bright shinning star in his industry. He plans to franchise his concept and build over 200 stores by 2015 all under the name SleepMart mattress. "sleep for a healthier life"
My sister-in-law's cat peed and left poop in our bed while we were on vacation. The smell is awful!! Help!
Our bed is ortho pedic so it was expensive. My husband tried the vacuum that sucks dirt out from the carpet but the smell stayed. I don't know what else to do=(
If you are going to use a cleaner or cleaning solution, just make sure not to oversaturate the area. The foam layers in your mattress really don't do well when they get very wet. If you do have to replace the bed (cat urine odors are quite potent), I would suggest putting a mattress protector on. The ones that are out now feel just like a cloth cover, but protect from liquid damage. The worst case scenario if it happens again is that you replace a $50 cover instead of a $1000 mattress. Something like this will work well:
