What type of mattress is best? Choosing the right bed is a highly personal decision. The best bed for you is one that is comfortable … one that provides the cushioning and support that allows you to get the best night’s sleep.

What makes a Specialty Sleep bed good for me? Specialty Sleep systems balance comfortable cushioning of your body with the support it needs for proper alignment during sleep. By reducing pressure points, stress and strain on the body you’ll enjoy a more comfortable sleep and fewer aches and pains when you wake up. Whether you choose air, flotation, latex, visco or an adjustable bed is largely a matter of personal preference.

How do I choose a Specialty Sleep bed? First, know your options. By reviewing websites, such as this one, you’ll get an idea of the various styles, features and benefits of Specialty Sleep. Think about what elements are most important to you - for example, dual-control so you and your partner can each customize your side of the bed, or a model that will help reduce allergens in your bed.

When you go shopping, we recommend trying out several different sleep surfaces. If you sleep with a partner, be sure to shop together. Then take your time and test beds in the store. Lay down on your back as well as in your normal sleeping position (Be sure to wear comfortable clothes!)

You will likely have an intuitive preference for a particular type of bed; then, you can compare brands and models and make your final decision.

How much will I pay for a Specialty Sleep bed? Most Specialty Sleep beds are considered premium or ultra-premium products in the mattress industry. Typically, Specialty Sleep beds will range from $800 to $2,000 for a queen-size bed, with some models priced higher or lower depending upon the specifications.

These prices are comparable to premium and ultra-premium innerspring mattress sets, yet Specialty Sleep beds offer an array of unique, healthful features and benefits.

Do I have to flip or turn my Specialty Sleep mattress? All air and flotation beds and most visco and latex models do not need to be flipped or turned. Check with the retailer or manufacturer about the maintenance requirements for a specific model.

Do I need special furniture for a Specialty Sleep bed? No, today’s Specialty Sleep products are designed to fit standard furnishings and look much like a typical innerspring mattress and box spring set. A Specialty Sleep product can be placed in any bedroom without changing your existing decor or style. They come in the regular twin, full, queen, king and California king sizes.

You may remember the original waterbeds that consisted of a large “balloon” of water inside a wood frame, like a box. Known as “hardside waterbeds,” these beds could not be used with standard furnishings. These models remain loved by many original waterbed fans and are still made by a number of manufacturers … using the best materials and updated technology.

Can I use my existing linens and bedding on a Specialty Sleep bed? Today’s Specialty Sleep products come in the regular twin, full, queen, king and California king sizes, so standard linens and bedding should be fine. Depending upon the design of the bed you choose, however, you may want to purchase linens that are designed for “high-profile” mattresses. Due to the popularity of mattresses that are 16” - 18” deep, compared to the traditional 12” - 15”, manufacturers of bed linens have created products made to fit.

The only exception to using standard linens is with the original-style, hardside waterbeds, which require special linens.

Where can I find quality Specialty Sleep product retailers? Specialty Sleep beds are sold at mattress and bedroom shops, furniture retailers and stores that offer products for healthy living. Some are offered directly from manufacturers or via the Internet.
