Yes,the vast majority of customers have reported that our mattresses offer good edge support.
But what exactly is edge support, and why does it matter? Let's dive into the details, focusing on DLX Mattresses and its edge support capabilities.
There are two primary aspects of edge support to consider:
It really depends on your personal needs and habits. If you tend to sleep close to the edge or require a firm surface to sit on while getting in or out of bed or putting on your shoes, then it could be significant for you.
Benefits of Good Edge Support:In general, the vast majority of people report a positive experience when sleeping or sitting on the edge of a DLX Mattress, without the sensation of rolling out or sinking excessively. The good edge support is attributed to the specific design of DLX mattresses, incorporating a combination of foams in the comfort layers and pocket coils. Notably, all DLX mattresses feature several rows of firmer coils running from head to foot on the sides, enhancing support near the edges. It's important to highlight that springs generally offer superior support compared to polyurethane foam rail or base, resulting in a more buoyant experience and improved edge support overall.
NapLab awarded the DLX Premier Hybrid a perfect score of 10 out of 10 for edge support. During their sitting edge support tests, they measured a compression sinkage of 2.75 inches, notably lower than the average sinkage of 4.14 inches observed in other mattresses tested by NapLab. When lying directly on the mattress edge, NapLab reported feeling well-supported in all sleeping positions. They found that the medium-sized variant offered moderately better lying edge support, largely due to reduced sinkage, a characteristic commonly associated with softer mattresses. This observation aligns with our understanding that softer mattresses may exhibit slightly diminished edge support.
While DLX mattresses generally offer good edge support, it's essential to consider other factors that can influence this aspect:
While DLX mattresses are praised for their edge support, individual preferences vary, and some users may require even stronger support than what a DLX Mattress can offer, especially if they frequently sit on the edge of the bed. In such cases, mattresses with border rods and additional edge springs may be preferable. However, these features are less prevalent in online mattresses like DLX and are increasingly rare in today's retail market.
Ultimately, when assessing edge support, it's essential to consider your specific needs and preferences, as well as factors like mattress construction, additional features, and support surface. By understanding these aspects, you can make an informed decision when choosing a mattress that offers the right level of edge support for you.
