Royal-Pedic Materials

Since 1946, Royal-Pedic has built a
solid reputation as the "healthy mattress," always using the finest natural
materials available. Natural ingredients are healthier because they
ventilate body heat, offer more comfort, and are more durable than the typical
synthetics largely used in the production of mattresses today. And for
those of you who are sensitive to polyurethane smells, you will be happy to
know that Royal-Pedic does not use this petrochemical material at all.
The Finest Long Staple Cotton
Grown in California and Texas
The
cotton padding we use is of the highest grade, normally only used in
custom-made, high-end upholstered furniture.
Using the longer cotton fibers blended together to make layers for the
mattresses insures there will be a consistent, supportive sleeping surface so
you won't get lumps. In addition, Royal-Pedic offers an organic option.
Natural Latex is Harvested from
Rubber Tree Plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia
Royal-Pedic
uses Talalay latex (97% natural or a 40% natural/60% synthetic blend). As
described elsewhere on this website, rubber is harvested by tapping into the
rubber tree in much the same way as maple syrup is
drawn from the maple tree.
Next, the rubber is shipped to a modern plant in Belgium, the milky white
latex is converted into cores for mattresses and pillows in special zoned
molds. The latex undergoes four rinsing processes to eliminate rubber
odors. Latex is dust-mite repellant, hypoallergenic, and anti-bacterial.
Royal-Pedic latex mattresses feature a
7-Zone
Talalay
latex core (97% natural or blend), which was designed, based
upon
sleep studies at the Kirschgartenclinic in Basel, Switzerland by Swiss
researcher and sleep specialist, Dr. Dietrich Schneider-Helmert.
According to Royal-Pedic, the 7-Zone design was found to provide optimal
sleeping comfort and ergonomic support to all parts of the body.
According to Royal-Pedic, the latex is certified healthy and ecologically
friendly by strict European standards (see seal, above left).
Royal-Pedic Latex Features:
SEVEN
FIRMNESS ZONES: According to
Royal-Pedic, mattresses with this feature are ergonomically designed for correct support and
uncompromising comfort. The manufacturer claims that such mattresses
provide:
1. Softer upper back and pelvic areas offer pressure point
relief and spinal alignment.
2. Firmer lumbar area supports spine to relieve tension and
lower back pain.
PRESSURE
RELAXATION CHANNELS™
Royal-Pedic states that these provide flexibility, pressure point relief and
spinal alignment when side sleeping.
SPECIAL
"PIN CORE" CONSTRUCTION
Royal-Pedic claims that this feature enables ventilation of body heat.
Talalay
Latex Core Derived from the Rubber Tree (97% natural or blend).
Hypoallergenic, hygienic, anti-bacterial and dust mite resistant.
NO
MATTRESS SPRINGS The
mattress offers motionless comfort for side-by-side sleepers, per Royal-Pedic.
RETAINS
FIRMNESS LEVELS REGARDLESS OF ROOM TEMPERATURE
(unlike temperature sensitive foam mattresses) Royal-Pedic states that
this product offers reliable support and softness and conforms to body
contour immediately.
INDEPENDENT
SUPPORT FOR TWO PEOPLE OF VARYING WEIGHTS
The mattress, according to Royal-Pedic, maintains a level sleeping surface
and less roll-together feel.
SYMMETRICALLY
DESIGNED The zones are
consistent, per Royal-Pedic, when the mattress is rotated head to foot or
top to bottom.
DESIGNED
FOR ALL HEIGHTS Royal-Pedic
asserts that the length of a person's torso, regardless of their height, is
very similar; height is generally determined by the length of the legs.
Untreated Lamb's Wool from New
Zealand or Wool from South of France
The lamb's wool provides a comforting natural fiber layer quilted underneath
the cotton mattress
covering.
The lamb's wool contains lanolin -- a natural dust-mite repellant. The
sheep live in wide-open spaces, rather than being cooped up in a small space.
Once the sheep are sheared, the wool is cleaned in a soap-based solution,
rather than herding the sheep into a chemically treated trough.
