A mattress is a mat or pad, usually placed on top of a bed, upon which to sleep or lie. The word mattress is derived from Arabic words meaning "to throw" and "place where something is thrown" or "mat, cushion." During the Crusades, Europeans adopted the Arabic method of sleeping on cushions thrown on the floor, and the word materas eventually descended into Middle English through the Romance languages. Though a mattress may be placed directly on the floor, it is usually placed on top of a platform (such as a platform bed or a metal box-spring or a slatted foundation) to be further from the ground. Historically, mattresses have been filled with a variety of natural materials, including straw and feathers. Modern mattresses usually contain either an inner spring core or materials such as latex, viscoelastic, or other polyurethane-type foams. Mattresses may also be filled with air or water, or a variety of natural fibres, such as in futons. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I am renting a house and the bed provided is a king size bed, but the mattress is made out of 2 single ones side by side. This is really uncomfortable as i tend to sleep in the middle of the bed. The mattresses get pushed apart slightly or there is a big dip in the middle. Does anyone have any solutions as to how i can keep them held together?

I'm in need of a new mattress, and I'm considering one from The Original Mattresss Factory. I'm also looking at a Simmon's Beautyrest mattress which is on sale right now. Both are priced the about the same; the Original Mattress Factory one is $40.00 less. I'm just wondering, if the Original Mattress Factory mattresses are long-lasting, high-quality. Thanks so much for your help. Asked by Mel W - Mon Dec 31 10:43:59 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. If it is of any help at all, I live less than 10 miles from the factory here in Ohio where they are made. I toured it three years ago ( which they encourage, showing how they are made and have other competitor's mattresses there cut apart to show construction). They offer what appears to be a good warranty and I did buy a queen mattress and box spring. I havent had any problems with it , so I cant honestly say if the warrenty backup is good or not, but hopefully, I wont have to find out. The main thing I was impressed with was the actual construction. They used more springs for the support, which were smaller than the other brands, but as it was explained to me, it allows better support by spreading it out. It made sense to me at least.… [cont.] Answered by Nightrider - Mon Dec 31 12:19:28 2007 Are the mattresses sold by Pottery Barn Kids good quality?
Q. Im looking specifically at the pillow top mattress but I am interested in anyone's experience with any of the mattresses sold by Pottery Barn Kids. Thanks!

Note that they are manufactured by Serta - and you can get Serta mattresses in a LOT of places, not just PBK. So shop around for a better price on the same product.
