Advertisements from Kingsdown claim that the Body System beds designed by it take due consideration of the individual’s body contours and provide the needed support and comfort. Such a claim from the manufacturers of traditional inner spring mattresses seems rather surprising in the light of comfort and support that could be provided by newer variety of mattresses like memory foam, offered by Tempur Pedic.
For almost a hundred years, ever since the company started operations, all its mattresses conform to the traditional inner spring design. Till date, the company has not diversified to include any other design of mattresses like pocket coil, water, air, and memory foam mattress.
Let’s check how does the mattress fares compared to other available mattresses and if it really provides the required comfort and support needed for a comfortable relaxed sleep as it claims.
As already pointed out, the Body System mattress is an innerspring mattress, meaning all its coils are interconnected. The manufacturer employs coils made of high tempered steel. It is noteworthy that the company doesn’t manufacture its own coils and procures these along with other hardware needed for making a mattress. But that doesn’t imply that the manufacturer uses inferior quality of products. It’s quite a common practice with many manufacturers to outsource all the raw materials. Companies like Stearns and Foster, making their own coils, produce very expensive mattresses.
Every manufacturer maintains that it’s the design and the technology employed for making mattresses that distinguishes its product from other makes available in the market. Kingsdown has been in business for long and has evolved its own designs from the experience gained over so many years. They make use of computer technology to keep their manufacturing process updated and thus offer top quality product. The Body System mattress is produced in various configurations to accommodate any size or shape the sleeper.
And, Kingsdown makes sure to provide arrangements enabling the user to choose the best mattress. The company employs a computerized system called the Dormo-Diagnostics Sleep Machine that has been compiled from data collected from sleep research carried out on millions of users. The customer is required to fill out a questionnaire and just lies down on the machine and in less than a minute the machine takes the profile of the customer. Subsequently, a sleep profile gets printed suggesting the customer the most appropriate mattress for their use.
Well, some may still argue that the results from the computer employed won’t be accurate to suggest the perfect mattress, but let’s face the hard fact and accept that computers are widely employed to design and offer solution for buying many items.
It will not be wrong to conclude that the Kingsdown Body System is as good or bad as any of its competitors like the Sealy Posturepedic mattress or the Serta Perfect Sleeper mattress. All of them employ almost the same technology, using similar materials and design. What gives it an edge is the use of computer technology to assess the precise requirements of the user and suggest an appropriate mattress.
