Mattress Ratings And Reviews

What makes The Englander Synergy mattress so unique is the perfect blending of memory foam and 100% latex. The reason for such blending is to derive maximum comfort thru the memory foam while latex goes to support and provide resilience. But, let’s see how far it works and if it comes to expectations on a closer inspection.

Patronage of visco-elastic materials by bedding industry has made the most significant contribution to the advanced developments of mattresses ever since the inner spring technology was introduced for making mattresses. It has been established beyond doubt that this material, known as memory foam, the world over, provides the utmost comfort while sleeping. Its characteristic good qualities of relieving pressure were first realized in hospitals. It was reported that it considerably reduced the bedsores of patients who had been bed ridden for a long time.

Though latex was discovered long ago, it stated getting popular in the recent years only. It took sometime for people to appreciate its positive features. Quite akin to memory foam, it also conforms to the shape of the body of the sleeper, but very contrasting from memory foam it responds to weight only and remains insensitive to temperature. Being temperature sensitive, memory foam mattresses fail to respond to expectations in colder climates and tend to remain hard. Moreover, latex is characteristically hypoallergenic and natural latex is derived from sustainable sources.

The Englander memory foam mattress employs latex as its core, whereas manufacturers like Restonic and the Sealy memory foam mattress make use of visco elastic materials.

The underlying principle is that apart from conforming to the body shape of the occupier, latex is resilient and has better retentive characteristics than memory foam. Consequently, it lasts longer. Its other positive features include extraordinarily hypoallergenic and free from PBDE.

The exclusive Seven Zoned Sleep Technology employed for making these mattresses enables them to provide better levels of comfort, while minimizing pressure points. The zoned system is designed to sense and offer varying pressure to various parts of the body while sleeping.

There is one more plus feature that an effort is made for dissipation of heat, often a problem with many memory foam mattresses. Though the system employed is the same as by other brands, I find the solution presented in the Restonic Sensi mattress to be better. It’s the cover of special fabric that dissipates heat and not the mattress itself.

On the whole, the Englander Synergy memory foam mattress extends exceptional features to its users by way of support, comfort and durability. The perfect amalgamation of memory foam and natural latex helps to deliver excellent results.

Though Jamison is amongst the oldest manufacturers of mattresses, the recent introduction of a memory foam mattress by Tempurpedic has caused a big stir in the market of mattresses. It is not short of any revolution in this industry since the time innerspring coil was introduced. Sensing the competition, Jemison, like most other manufacturers has created its own version to counter the new competitor, Tempurpedic. But let’s see how it compares to the newest entrant in the field.

The Jamison Resort Foam compilation comes in three different variants: latex, visco foam and Omalon foam. Though all the three are classified as “memory foam’, it’s the visco foam mattress that can truly be compared to the kind of foam being used in Tempurpedic.

There are many brands available for memory foam mattresses and as can be anybody’s guess, there is a wide variation in prices. Yet, one may question the steep difference in price of a Tempurpedic mattress with another brand, say Isontonic. To some extent it is the cost of advertising and marketing along with the brand image, but to great extent it is a question of density.

A minimum density of 5lbs is considered good for any mattress. Most of the economically priced brands have a much lower density of around 4lbs, straightaway a difference of at least twenty percent. As a consequence, the cheap mattress may give a first good impression of being comfortable, but in the long run they fail to prove their worth. They provide neither the much desired and needed support nor the durability. The lower density is compensated by additional air.

The Jamison Resort memory foam mattress is manufactured from high quality visco elastic foam. That assures you of the best possible support system and will last a long time.

But, does that make a Lamison mattress as good as the Tempurpedic?

Now, that’s very subjective. My personal opinion goes in its favor. The visco foam has a density that equals the Tempurpedic and the inner foam layer comprises of a very high quality of high density foam. That’s unlike most of the manufacturers, which use ordinary foam as a base layer for memory foam mattresses.

Jamison has on offer a variety of foam mattresses and some are provided with additional quilting to provide a very luxurious feeling. Tempurpedic too offers mattresses with similar configurations.

Nevertheless, the most favorable point of Jamison as compared to Tempurpedic is the price. Jamison offers lower prices for a comparable Tempurpedic mattress. All said and done, who wouldn’t like to save money?
