LAS VEGAS -- Ecomfort today announced the launch of the revolutionary line of Ecomfort(TM) earth-friendly mattresses featuring EcoMemoryFoam.(TM) Launching at World Market in Las Vegas this week (Bldg. C, Studio 1584), Ecomfort is setting a new industry standard for energizing sleep with the first plant-based memory foam mattresses, pads and pillows on the market. Ecomfort offers customers an environmentally friendly sleep product that is made in the U.S.A. and is more comfortable than older memory foam products. The company's patent-pending processes save more fossil fuels and are kinder to the environment than any competing product.

"28 percent of consumers now prefer a memory foam mattress* - and Ecomfort is offering this huge group their first eco-friendly option," said Jeff Scorziell, president of Ecomfort. "Hundreds of companies today are considering changes in infrastructure, manufacturing and delivery to become more "Green." But at Ecomfort we want to do more than follow a trend - we want to set the industry standard for earth-friendly memory foam products."More...

With nearly 1 million UK residents and all of 70 million US residents seeking help for sleep problems every year, our public roads, schools and workplaces are full of people feeling irritable, groggy or depressed because they simply aren't getting the rest they need. If someone you care for has chronic sleep complaints, the gift of a memory foam mattress can bring about the deep, delta sleep all of us crave to be feeling our best.

Delta sleep is easier with this gift from deep space - the visco-elastic memory foam that was invented by NASA in the 1970's to cushion astronauts by absorbing the shocks of space travel. Memory foam has now become a top choice for the very best, most comfortable mattresses. In deep, stage 4 delta sleep, our brainwaves are slow and restful and the human growth hormone HGH is released to repair worn and tired body tissues. Humans cannot reach this stage of restorative sleep if they aren't resting easy or if they are suffering from certain health problems, and millions have switched to memory mattresses for relief from the stresses that have kept them awake too long.More...

Recently, I have been asked by several patients which bed is right for them, or which bed is the best one to buy. The question also arises from time to time about when it is time to replace a mattress. "Which pillow is the right pillow?" is also a question that comes up quite frequently. Such simple questions rarely have a simple answer. In order to answer these questions, taking a look at what is available in the marketplace would be a good idea.

There are generally four types of beds available today. They are the traditional coil spring mattress, waterbeds, air beds, and foam beds. Each bed has distinct advantages, and some have disadvantages.

The Coil Spring Mattress

The traditional coil spring mattress can be bought in varying degrees of firmness. Soft, moderate firmness, firm, extra firm versions are available, many with or without a pillow top. At any given price point, the quality of the mattress made by any major manufacturer is about the same. One company simply cannot make a bed that is four times better than a competitor at the same price. When it comes to the traditional coil spring mattress, the perceived difference regarding which is better is a matter of personal preference. In other words, what is best for one person may not be at all good for another person.

Even the best coil spring mattresses last only about seven years. The primary determining factor of how long the mattress will last is the weight of the person sleeping on the bed. All other factors being equal, a 5′4" person who weighs 110 pounds will get a much longer life out of a mattress than a person who is 5"10" and weighs 260 pounds. If you can see or feel an indentation in the mattress, it is time to replace it. It does not matter whether the mattress is one year old, or seven, seeing or feeling an indentation is evidence that it is time to replace it. Seeing a depression in a $2000.00 mattress that is six months old is clear evidence of poor quality, regardless of who manufactured it.

Interestingly, the manufacturers of coil spring mattresses have added a memory foam option to several of their models. This appears to be somewhat of an endorsement of the true memory foam mattresses, discussed below.More...
