An Impromptu Education on the Contents of the Sealy Memory Support Mattress
While organising the purchase, and delivery, of our new Sealy memory support mattress I became more educated in the area of memory mattresses than I had ever intended to. My spouse was the one who had done the legwork and decided on this particular mattress, all I was supposed to do was buy it and schedule the delivery. But, being the person that I am I got a little side tracked.
When I pulled the mattress info up on the website I failed to simply place the order as per instruction. Instead, I started to read the key information, and very quickly realised that I was unfamiliar with a great number of the terms being used. I believe most people would have left it there, and simply accepted this as an area that they would admit was not one they were well versed. No, of course this would not be the way I was to precede. You would think that I have tons of extra time on my hands to spend on such things, even though I positively do not.
During my detour I learned the following information, and thought it might be helpful to others to compile it. In a way this makes me feel like I went on this digression for a greater good. What is it they always say, if I make a difference in one person’s life then it was all worth it.
So here it is as I understand it. Tencel is the name of the fabric that was used for our mattress cover, and it is touted as the new age fiber. It absorbs excess liquid and quickly releases it again into the atmosphere. Things get more complicated when you begin to look into the components of Tencel, such as the fact that it is composed of Fibrils, aka tiny hair like cellulose fiber. These Fibrils are arranged in such a way as to maximise absorption, while also cooling. Most importantly in my opinion is the fact that these Fibrils, because of the cooling ability hinder the growth of bacteria.
At that point I moved on to what existed in the makeup of what lay beneath, meaning the Sealy memory support system. However, the twins are calling for me to start dinner and my tummy is grumbling for the same, so I will share this information with you a bit later. Till then I hope you find what I have already described to be of use and maybe even a tad interesting overall.
