King Mattress Pillows Memory Beds
The California
King Mattress has remained a solid backer of my husband and me for 12 years. When visiting relatives or on
business travel, dear Husband has only one wish: to go home
to his comfortable bed and get a good
night's sleep again. My husband is the type who thinks he
is not picky or difficult in any way, shape or form. To this,
I can only say, "HA!" Begging to differ only encourages
his argument, of course, as he is quite blind to these faults,
whereas I know I'm picky and difficult and freely admit it.
We chose
the California King Mattress after seeing advertisements for
the trademark "pocketed coil construction" which
has proven its worth over the years with restless nights,
wakeful children and the general sleep movement each of us
make. Other makers got a look-see,
a sit-down and even a "test nap" before we made
our final decision. Spending hundreds of dollars is not something we wanted to do more than a
few times in our lifetime, so the decision wasn't an easy
one. The foam is available in several
levels of comfort, and the first step was to judge by the
cover -- if it looked like a hotel-grade cover, the mattress
(I once worked as a hotel maid) was on the cheap end. If the
cover looked like we should put up velvet ropes and only look
at it reverently, that meant "high end".
We aimed
for the middle-high grade, or "Royal Luxury" in
the California King Mattress line. The pocketed coils allow each spring to move independently
in a definite up-and-down motion, rather than in a slightly-sideways
movement of standard innerspring mattresses (hence, the Tilt-A-Whirl
effect). While these independent motions allow for less overall
movement of the mattress, they don't completely solve the
problem of movement -- you won't be able to jump on one side
of the bed and have the other person not sit bolt-upright
in surprise/irritation/anger/fear, but you will be able to
sleep more soundly with normal movement and even with someone
getting up and lying down again, without feeling much motion.
