The internet has tons of resources for this and an online search would prove much more convenient before going to the actual mattress store.

Here’s a fun fact you might be interested to know this Valentine’s day…

According to a study done by Leggett & Platt, having sex on an innerspring mattress, as opposed to air mattress or foam mattress, is tons better. Do you agree with it?

The results: 68% of respondents prefer an innerspring mattress for sex, while 25% like foam and 7% prefer air, according to L&P.

The L&P officials are weighing in with some sexy supporting data, asserting that innersprings “have the goods to back up their studly status.” Leggett says that innersprings return 94% of the energy applied to them, which is 27% higher than foam mattresses and 6% higher than air mattresses. “Bounce per bounce,” L&P officials said, seriously, “the active support of innersprings adds the best boost of energy for boudoir fun.”

Noted Mark Quinn, group executive vice president of bedding at L&P: “Consumers consider their financial return on investment when purchasing a mattress and they should weigh the energy ROI as well. After all, couples spend a lot of quality time on mattresses, whether it is being intimate, reading a book or watching television together.”

The data is supported by a clinical psychologists. And you can read all the findings here. Keep this in mind when off on a date, tonight.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Talalay Latex Mattress is composed of a milky rubber liquid, whipped and heated to form into foam. Below are the steps to processing this kind of mattress, courtesy of FloBeds.

• Liquid rubber whipped into a foam and poured into a mold.
• When closed the mold has rods that go through the foamed rubber.
• A vacuum is placed on the mold, which removes air bubbles/pockets and distributes the liquid rubber evenly through the mold.
• CO2 is run through the rods, freezing the foamed rubber and locking in the consistency.
  Heat sent through the rods, providing even temperature and yielding a consistent latex cores without air pockets or uneven firmnesses.
• Impact test results indicate an amazingly low loss of 2-8%.
