One of the leaders in mattress and bedding manufacturing has partnered with one of the big names in futon making.

Simmons and Big Tree have sought an agreement that would push forward better futons and other bedding needs with Big Sleep. This means that eventually, mattresses by Simmons, such as Beautyrest, will have its futon version because of this partnership.

Currently, Big Sleep has already began offering tufted futon mattresses, much like those designed for Simmons and very different from regular futons.

At the Las Vegas Bedding Market recently, Vera Wang via Serta introduced the latest in her mattress collection. The new line is in 11.5 thick latex foam and features organic cotton with aloe-vera ticking, which helps regulate the temperature of the latex bed.

With two layers of foam —one made from visco elastic material for pressure points in the hips, knees and shoulders; and the other a high density foam for extra support — this iCare Natural Wave Topper probably feels like sleeping on a cloud of cotton.

The fabric covering this topper is made of removable zippered bamboo fabric, which as you know, is extra safe and non-harmful even for younger kids.

Bodipedic mattresses are visco memory foam products available at the shopping network. If you’re into shopping on television, you may want to check it out. Buying a mattress on television is a lot like online shopping in that you have to check for reviews and feedbacks a hundred times more since there isn’t an opportunity to inspect the product personally.

Just the same, here are the specifications of this particular mattress, as explained in this video.

JC Penney is making it easier for shoppers to choose the mattress they want by coming up with a Mattress Comparison Chart. It features three categories of mattresses — firm, plush, pillow or euro top and outlines which one are best choices.

The chart carries only a few known brands like Sealy, Simmons, Serta and Spring Air though but at least it is a good way to help shoppers narrow down their choices.
