Mattress and Box Spring Component Glossary

9'-Individually-Wrapped-Coil.png

INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED COILS [ 7", 9", 10", 11"]

The finest individually-wrapped coils allow the mattress to conform to the body (providing luxurious comfort), and provide strength, durability, and support. All wrapped coil units also have reduced motion transfer, which diminishes partner disturbance.

 

 

5on5-Wrapped-Coil-Units.png

5-ON-5 WRAPPED COIL UNITS

A stacked wrapped coil-on-coil system. A top layer of soft 5" coils allow for maximum comfort, while the bottom layer of firm 5" coils provide for the ultimate in proper support. The result: maximum comfort, proper support and postural alignment, reduced motion transfer and diminished partner disturbance.

BOX SPRING

A box spring provides 60% of a sleep system's body support. It helps deliver proper spinal support by keeping the head, shoulders, hips, and heels aligned. Box springs feature different support systems depending on model.

CLUSTER FIBER PAD

Made of clusters of fiber that act like down except the fibers are synthetic

 

 

Comfort-Fome-Layer.png

COMFORT LAYERS

Foams and padding of various comfort levels provide cushioning pressure relief and are located on top of mattress unit.

The materials will vary depending on the model.

 

 

Comfort-Fome-Layer.png

CUSHIONING FOAM

Foam of various materials which enhances the supportive features of the bed and offers additional pressure relief and comfort.

 

 

Convoluted-Cushioning-Layer.png

CONVOLUTED CORE

Convoluted cores do not use inner springs but rather convoluted foams with convoluted surfaces that provide an alternative to the innerspring mattress. Convoluted foams used in a core are generally deeper than convoluted foams used in comfort layers.

 

 

Convoluted-Foam-Layer.png

CONVOLUTED FOAM

Foams with "peaks and valley" shapes to offer superior pressure relief.

Also referred to as "egg-crate" foams.

 

 

Cushion-Cloud-Construction.png

CUSHION CLOUD® CONSTRUCTION

This Kingsdown, Inc., exclusive patented construction process utilizes inner tufting of comfort layers to eliminate shifting. Instead of being tightly bound, the quilted layers float above the tufted comfort layers and mattress unit. This creates a more relaxed sleep surface, delivers proper spinal support, and allows the mattress to conform to the body (instead of the body conforming to the mattress). Since no glue is used between upholstery layers, the body can "float" to its own level of need. The result? Deep down comfort, the elimination of pressure buildup, and a better night's sleep.

 

 

Divan-Base.png

DIVAN BASE

A large box foundation that may or may not feature drawers.

A divan base by Kingsdown, Inc., is positioned on casters.

 

 

Flexatron.png

FLEXATRON®

Exclusive to Kingsdown, Inc., brand products, Flexatron® is a unique blend of cushioning material that is hypoallergenic, mildew resistant, and odor-free.

 

 

Foam-Coil-Topper.png

FOAM COIL TOPPER

Faceted cylinder-like forms where the open centers offer airflow, which means the mattress doesn't store as much heat and the foam form offers support and pressure relief.

 

 

Full-Body-Surround.png

FULL BODY SURROUND®

A customized assembly of high-density foam that encases the entire surface of the bed - top, bottom, and all four sides - including edges and corners. It provides a complete edge-to-edge sleeping surface, resulting in superior edge support and a 100% usable no-flip sleep surface. Benefits include a more stable mattress with less internal shifting and no roll-out or roll-together feeling.

 

 

Latex-Coil-Topper.png

LATEX COIL TOPPER

The resilient properties of latex support the body in every position. This pressure-relieving quality helps the body stay in one position longer, resulting in a deeper, undisturbed sleep. The material offers the ultimate in pressure relief and conformity.

 

 

Latex-Core.png

LATEX CORE

A Latex Core is an alternative to an innerspring unit.

The resilient properties of latex support the body in every position. This pressure-relieving quality helps the body stay in one position longer, resulting in a deeper, undisturbed sleep. The material offers the ultimate in pressure relief and conformity.

Latex is a breathable material for better temperature distribution.

Can be either a natural material or a synthetic material.

 

 

latex-lumbar-support-region.png

LATEX LUMBAR SUPPORT BAND

A wide band of latex foam which provides extra support for the lumbar area of the spine.

 

 

latex-Topper.png

LATEX TOPPER

Latex located in the comfort layers offering the resilient properties of latex which support the body in every position. This pressure-relieving quality helps the body stay in one position longer, resulting in a deeper, undisturbed sleep. The material offers the ultimate in pressure relief and conformity.

 

 

lumbar-support-band.png

LUMBAR SUPPORT BAND

A foam band made of various materials depending on mattress model, that offers extra support in the lumbar area of the spine.

 

 

Comfort-Fome-Layer.png

CUSHIONING FOAM LAYERS

Cushioning foams which enhance the supportive features of the bed and offers additional pressure relief.

 

 

Luxurious-quilted-surface.png

LUXURIOUS QUILTED SURFACE

Layers of varying materials create a low pressurequilted mattress surface.

 

 

Solid-Wood-Foundation-w_Foam-Support.png

SOLID WOOD FOUNDATION

A solid foundation that supports the mattress so it can assist in delivering proper spinal support, keeping the head, shoulders, hips, and heels aligned.

The wood in our foundations harvested from a renewable forest.

 

 

Solid-Wood-Foundation-w_Foam-Support.png

SOLID WOOD FOUNDATION WITH FOAM SUPPORT

A layer of foam is added to our traditional solid wood foundation for an extra layer of comfort.

 

 

Vertical-Zoining-.png

VERTICAL ZONING®

Vertical Zoning® allows your body to "float" to its natural position through precisely layered comfort materials. Your body receives maximum pressure relief while still being properly supported.

VISCO LUMBAR SUPPORT BAND

A wide band of visco memory foam which provides extra support for the lumbar area of the spine.

 

 

Zonized-Wrapped-Coil-Unit.png

ZONIZED WRAPPED COIL UNIT

The Tri-Zone wrapped coil system offers center support and a firmer edge. The result is superior center support, built-in perimeter edging, reduced motion transfer, and diminished partner disturbance.
