Pressure Test Results

We have not been able to test the new version of this mattress yet, so we are displaying the results from the previous model. We will update the review once we have the new testing done. It will likely have similar results, if a bit improved with the addition of gel memory foam that's been added to the LX-Class Firm.

So that you can read these test results you'll need to know what each color shown represents.

• The red areas, as seen on the side sleeper with a larger-sized body, mean that there's a lot of pressure on that joint which will lead to tossing and turning for a very disturbed night's sleep. 
• The yellow areas show where there's an increase in pressure, though not so much that the bed would very uncomfortable. 
• The green areas show you where the pressure relief is good for that part of the body while light blue areas indicate appropriate back support.

I hope this helps you in your decision-making process if you're tossing around the idea of purchasing this model.
