Conventional Foam
Conventional Foam
Density sets us apart.
Where's it FOund?
Common applications for this foam include couch cushions, office furniture, and re-upholstery supply. In Comfort Option's context, it's used primarily for our mattress core.
Conventional Foam
Conventional foam is usually what you'll find in the base of a mattress. It's not necessarily going to have a lot of fancy bells and whistles, it's meant to add structure. Each and every one of our custom constructions has a core of 2.8 lb/ft3 dense conventional foam at it's base. If you're looking at one of our Alpha mattresses, they have 1.8 lbs/ft3 core.
For reference, most Bed-in-a-Box bases top out at a density between 1.6-1.8 lbs/ft. Anything above 2.0 lb/ft3 is considered a luxury mattress. Density matters, because it equates to durability. If you want your mattress to last, you need to make sure you have the best available foam in the base.

Memory Foam
Memory foam has low resiliency and is famous for its
soft, slow recovery and body-contouring, pressure-relief.
Hybrid Foam
Better bounce and resiliency than memory foam and more pressure relief than H.R. options, means hybrid foams are designed to be a happy medium.
High Resilience Foam
At the far end of the resiliency spectrum lies the bounciest foam of them of all: latex-like, high-resiliency (HR) foam.
