Is It Time To Update Your Bed?

Blueflex™ Technology vs. Spring Mattresses

Sifting through the various mattress options on the market can leave consumers more exhausted than ever!

Thankfully, the experts at Sleep Studio have some insight to share on what differentiates gel memory foam from traditional spring mattresses, and how Blueflex™ technology can revolutionize the way you sleep.

Blueflex™ Gel Memory Foam Close-Up

Gel memory foam is the absolute latest in mattress technology, created as a hybrid of traditional memory foam with the addition of gel. Sleep Studio’s Blueflex™ mattresses are made with a patented technology and achieve tremendous results by eliminating the problems that are usually associated with memory foam products.

The rundown on Blueflex™:

·    Comfort: Even weight distribution means no “sinking in” (often a critique of memory foam) and the highest level of comfort on the market.

·    Support: Blueflex™ mattresses distribute body weight evenly, eliminating pressure points completely and taking stress off your shoulders and hips. Tossing and turning, the leading cause of a poor night's sleep, is drastically reduced with a Blueflex™ mattress.

·    Maintenance: Gel memory foam mattresses do not have to be flipped or rotated. There is no maintenance required.

·    Longevity: The patented gel in Blueflex™ combats sagging to outlive the competition.

·    Scent: Blueflex™ material boasts a unique green tea blend that chases away chemical odors often associated with memory foam.

·    Heat: Traditional memory foam mattresses have a tendency to trap body heat, leading to an uncomfortably warm sleeping surface. Blueflex™ technology neutralizes body heat and wicks moisture for cool, dry nights, the ideal sleeping environment.

Spring Mattresses Uncoiled

Spring sleep systems are older technology dating back to 1865. That year, the first coil spring construction for bedding was patented. Mattresses were lumpy up to the late 1800s, but the springs did add another level of comfort.

The rundown on spring mattresses:

·    Cost: A typical spring mattress will be less money than a gel memory foam mattress, but they must be replaced every 5-10 years.

·    Support: Spring mattresses do not spread body weight evenly. Because each spring pushes back with the same force, pressure points are inevitable. This can lead to poor blood circulation, tossing and turning, aches and joint pain.

·    Longevity: Spring mattresses begin to sag after 1-2 years. In fact they lose 16% of their support in the 1st year alone.

·    Maintenance: Spring mattresses must be rotated once every three months to even the wear. Avoid folding or bending spring mattresses.

According to Michael Rothbard, President of Sleep Studio and creator of Blueflex™ technology, gel memory foam just may be the upgrade your bedroom needs, but choose wisely.

“Most people spend 30% of their life sleeping, so the importance of a great mattress cannot be underestimated. This small step can change the outlook and health of adults, seniors, children, and babies. That said, look for the best quality gel memory foam mattress you can find, one that eliminates the risk of ‘sleeping hot’ by using a more breathable foam, and by seeking foam that does not have an odor. Blueflex™ technology, for example, offers an unparalleled sleep experience by taking memory foam to the next level.”
