Pressure Test Results

The L-Class Medium Pillowtop mattress has been pressure tested with petite, average, and large body size models laying on their side and back sleeping positions to see what kind of support and comfort you can expect. (Learn how we test.) 

Our test results show that this mattress performed very well in relieving pressure on the joints while also providing great back support.  The bed earned 5 out of 6 'recommended' scores based on the data learned from the images below.  To understand what we're looking for you'll need to decipher the colors you see.  Green and light blue areas show you where the mattress is providing good back support and peak pressure point relief.  Yellow areas indicate an increase in pressure while red areas, of which there are none in the images below, show where there's far too much pressure on that joint.

This bed is really good at providing proper back support for correct spinal alignment.  This is especially important because an out of alignment spine will cause discomfort, pain, stiffness, and weariness.  Pressure point relief is pretty crucial to quality sleep as well because too much pressure will cause you to toss and turn at night thereby disturbing your sleep and making you grumpy the next day.  This bed provides excellent pressure relief for all body types and sleep positions, as well.  Feel free to use our test results when considering this model mattress as your next bed purchase:

The pressure test results for this mattress are not yet available but it will be available soon.  Below is just an example.
