Your Bed Has Foam In It. Yes, It Really Does.

After years in the mattress business, you pretty much hear and see it all. One of the common misconceptions I see across the board with consumers is their misunderstanding that their bed has foam in it. I really think there is a large segment of consumers who think their mattress consists of nothing more than springs and some type of fabric surrounding the springs. The reason I say this is because I cannot tell you how many times I have mentioned to customers that their bed has foam in it and they insist there is no foam in it. It's simple; all mattresses have some kind of foam layer in the quilting. That said, there are a very few rare exceptions, such as a horsehair mattress, which is no longer mass produced and available at your local mattress store, or like The Sparrow, which is wool and cotton over a coil, but that type of mattress hasn't been produced by the major mattress makers for a long time either. No, most every mattress in the homes of America are produced with a layer of foam above the coils, whether it is a firm or pillow top mattress.
