Royal Pedic has been dedicated to promoting healthful sleep for over 60
years. Through combining the finest natural and hypoallergenic
materials from around the world, with expert hand craftsmanship, our
mattresses have comforted film celebrities, Presidents of the U.S.,
royalty and sports superstars. Not because of who they are, but for
what they want -- a restful, re-energizing, truly good night's sleep so
they can feel good and perform at their best.
Royal-Pedic
utilizes the most premium natural ingredients imaginable -- elegant
Belgian cotton fabrics, untreated wool from the south of France,
natural latex manufactured in England and pristine long fiber cotton
grown in the USA.
Layering Staple Cotton
Layers of premium quality, staple cotton padding ensure a consistent,
supportive sleeping surface. Our cotton is pre-compressed and
hand-tufted so you won't get lumps or shifting of materials. We use
only the finest cotton batting from California and Texas. Natural
materials ventilate body heat and provide greater durability than
polyurethane foam - the main padding ingredient found in other
mattresses.
We do not use polyurethane due to its limited ability to provide
consistent body support over time - the foam cells weaken and collapse
with use causing significant indentations in the mattress in many
cases, which affects overall back support and comfort. For health
reasons we choose to use natural materials instead of polyurethane
foam. The human body is like a 98.6 heater that, in combination with
polyurethane padding, can trigger allergic, respiratory, and chemical
reactions in some people. We look foward to providing you with the
healthiest, most comfortable and durable mattress possible.
Hand Tufting
Inner padding of our mattress is hand tufted, compressing it for
exceptional orthopedic back support and minimizing body impressions.
Hand tufting is a process our company founder, Abe Kaplan learned back
in the 1930's while working for Heals of London, a premiere mattress
maker, who at the time made mattresses for the Royal Family of England.
It takes our skilled craftsman much longer to make one of our custom
made, hand tufted mattresses, but quality has always been more
important to our company than how many we can make in a day.
Most other brands of
mattresses are not tufted. The padding materials in these "generic
construction" mattresses are merely secured to the perimeter edges of
the mattress. The advantage of tufting is less body impressions in the
mattress because the padding is pre-compressed with the tufting straps,
rather than just resting on the surface.
Box Spring
Our Royal-Pedic Box Springs are the most comfortable and durable
available: We provide 50% more coils in the center-third of our box
spring for extra support where it's needed the most (about 60% of our
body weight is located in our torso area). Our springs are an extra
durable 8 3/4" gauge thickness of wire compared to an average 9 1/2" to
10" gauge wire used by others. Our box spring units last for many, many
years. The coils are double heat tempered to resist sagging and provide
more durability. Double heat tempering is when the coils are baked in
an oven, cooled down and then baked in the oven again. The number of
coils we use in our box spring unit is 22% more than the industry
standard. This higher coil count results in more coils that are closer
together, providing additional support for the mattress to prevent
lumps in the mattress from developing. The foundation we use to mount
our coil springs is an extra wide slat version to provide more support
for the coil to rest on - the same width of slat that is required for
hotels for the assurance of superior durability.
