When one thinks of mattress brands, the Serta sheep always seem to come to mind. Serta is one of the most popular mattress brands in the U.S. but you have to ask yourself, are you paying through the nose for your mattress, or are you paying for sheep? Are you getting what you’re paying for or are you paying for their advertising? Many companies have seemed to follow suit, charging consumers a little extra to help them pay of expensive marketing schemes. One company that has stayed away from that trend is Restonic. Although it may not be as well known as Serta or Sealy, Restonic is a nationwide brand that provides excellent quality for very reasonable price.
Although Restonic isn’t very well known, it has been around since the late 1930s. Restonic started out as the Triple Cushion Corporation back in 1938 and eight manufacturing members started production on what would become their signature Marvelous Middle™. The name was changed to Restonic in 1946 and in 1965 they trademarked their Marvelous Middle™ design. “Just what exactly is the Marvelous Middle™?” you may ask. The Marvelous Middle™ is a grouping of stronger coils in the center third of the mattress which provides 25% more support for the heaviest part of your body, your spine and your pelvis. The Marvelous Middle™ also improves the durability of the mattress by providing more support in the center of the mattress to prevent sagging.
Restonic has been awarded the Consumer’s Digest Best Buy an amazing 7 times from 1987 to 2009. In 2005, Restonic was the first to pass the Underwriter’s Laboratories flammability compliance, which means in addition to being extremely comfortable it is also safe. Restonic became available nationwide in 2007-2008 so everyone can experience the benefits of the Restonic brand. And in 2003-2004 the Consumers’ Digest endorsed the entire Restonic ComfortCare® line as Best Buy for Quality and Value.
Restonic has other great features that other mattress manufacturers may skimp on to save themselves money. Almost all Restonic mattresses have foam edging the entire way around the mattress. Other manufacturers use a wire to keep the shape of the mattress, but over time that wire could start to sag and reduce the usable space of your mattress. But if you purchase a mattress with a foam encasement, like the Restonic mattresses, you won’t have to worry about sagging on the edges of your mattress. Another great innovation of Restonic is Spiralok™ technology. This just means that instead of having the coils run from left to right, they run from top to bottom. This greatly reduces motion transfer, so when your partner tosses and turns you wouldn’t feel it nearly as much as a traditional mattress. If you share you mattress with a restless sleeper or are a restless sleeper yourself you may want to look into the Grand Palais® line of Restonic mattresses, which features individually wrapped coils which help cut down on motion transference even more.
You might like the HealthRest® line if you’ve had bad experiences with innerspring mattresses or even if you’re just looking for something different, The HealthRest® line includes memory foam and latex beds which conform more to your body than an innerspring mattress would. What’s the difference between the latex and the memory foam? An easy way to remember the difference is remembering that you sleep “in” memory foam, and you sleep “on” latex. Memory foam sinks under your weight and conforms to your body more than latex will. But that could get quite warm for you, so you should test it out first to see if it’s for you. What if you have a latex allergy? Don’t worry. Restonic washes their latex seven times before they put it into their mattresses. Washing the latex this many times helps wash away the enzymes that irritate your skin. And your body shouldn’t even come into contact with the latex because it is well covered by the cover on top of the mattress.
Restonic is manufactured in Toledo, Iowa so it is an American made product. Restonic also has great warranties including 10 and 15-year non-prorated warranties. If you ever have any issues with your Restonic mattress it will be dealt with swiftly and effectively. You don’t have to pay through the nose to get a quality product. Restonic has built itself upon its quality, not is marketing. To get a comfortable mattress that will last you for years and years to come without emptying your savings, visit a Restonic dealer in your area and see the difference for yourself or visit http://www.restonic.com/.
