“10 Things You Ought To Know Before Buying A New Mattress”

Introducing The Next-Generation Mattresses From Metzeler, Germany

Metzeler are well known internationally for their research and development and for their manufacture of innovative, technically excellent and revolutionary products. It is not surprising that every dream car has a bit of Metzeler because when Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Volvo, Jaguar, BMW and Mercedes want to find a quality, well made, exclusive material to fit out their top cars, they find it at Metzeler.

With more than 50 years' experience in the bedding industry and their continuous commitment to bring first class quality in every segment of the market, Metzeler have crafted the first truly healthy mattress in the world to give you truly recuperative deep sleep.

Metzeler now present the next generation mattress which is:

1. comfortable and pressure relieving;

2. multi-zoned to support and gently stretch your spinal column while you sleep. Proper postural support is important for the healing of connective tissues and overall health. Metzeler’s mattresses are designed to allow you to relax your muscles and maintain the same natural spinal alignment that you have when standing. When your body is allowed to rest in its natural position, muscles are relaxed and sleep is more refreshing. The effectiveness of Metzeler mattresses was tested in independent trials run by Munich Institute of Ergonomics.

3. designed with maximum airflow. The revolutionary cell structure of the Metzeler mattresses provides excellent air permeability and moisture transport to help create a constant bed temperature to ensure a deep, comfortable sleep.

4. washable for health and hygiene. We lose over 250ml of moisture per night and almost half a kilo of dead skin a year. Moisture and dead skin cell in our beds provide a perfect environment for dust mites to thrive and multiply. Dust mites absorb the moisture in their environment, they eat dead skin and they nest and breed in the dust collected in our mattresses, pillows and covers. Studies show that dust mites are one of the most common causes of perennial asthma and allergy symptoms. The Metzeler mattresses are fully washable at 60OºC, a temperature that kills dust mites.

5. designed for safety. All Metzeler mattresses are fully tested for flame resistance without the use of TCPP or any toxic chemical. Petroleum, TCPP, PBDE and arsenic are some of the most toxic chemicals which are hazardous to our health. At Metzeler, quality also includes safety. Metzeler mattresses are made from natural, non-toxic and environmentally friendly raw material whose basic component is sunflower seed oil (not petroleum base). This special material is the result of two years research and development, to produce the ultimate sleep surface for safe, clean, natural and comfortable sleep. You can now sleep with a clear conscience, knowing that you and your loved ones are not breathing in ‘poison’ with every breath.

6. custom made for the sleeper. Do you know that when it come to mattresses, it is not necessarily true that firmer is better? A mattress that is too firm does not support the body evenly, tending only to support the body's heaviest parts. A mattress that is too soft will sag and prevent the spine from maintaining proper alignment. Neither situation allows your muscles to rest, as they must work through the night to find a comfortable position and maintain correct posture. With Metzeler you can find just the right firmness for you. The inner core of the Metzeler mattresses is available in soft, medium and firm to give customized support for your body structure. This allows you to choose a mattress with just the right firmness to allow your body weight to sink in and the muscles to relax, thus relieving pressure on the intervertebral discs every time you lie down.

7. designed with options of two different firmness in one mattress. Most couples find it difficult to find a mattress with the right firmness for both of them. The Metzeler mattresses can be customized for couples. The king and superking size mattresses are designed with 2 inner cores. This means you can have a combination of 2 different firmnesses, within the one mattress. This is especially suitable in cases where there are different preferences in firmness of the sleep surface, or where there is significant weight difference between the couple. The Metzeler mattresses are also designed to minimize the transfer of movement from one sleeping partner to the other.

8. fabricated without use of adhesive. Most foam mattresses are manufactured by using adhesive to bond the mattress top to the base foam. The solvents in some adhesives can present a health risk, and mattresses fabricated with adhesive also increase the risk of moisture being trapped in between the layers. The Metzeler mattress is fabricated without use of adhesives. Again a well thought-through design to support proper air flow and to prevent any trapping of moisture, a breeding ground for mould and bacteria.

9. durable. Metzeler mattresses will provide you with consistent quality for a long time, due to their ability to be used on both sides, i.e. they can be flipped. It is important to turn your mattress at least once a year to maintain even wear. All Metzeler mattresses are 2-sided designs with sturdy hand straps for easy handling and flipping.

10. quality from start to finish. The quality of the Metzeler product range is unparalleled. Metzeler bedding products are certified in accordance with Okeotex-100, QS 9000 and ISO 9001. With Metzeler’s complete in-house production, from the raw materials and mattress core to the finished mattress, you can rely on the safety, quality and long life of your mattress.
