Mattress War: Twin vs. Twin XL

Mattress War: Twin vs. Twin XL

Picture
Deciding on a few extra inches of foot room?
Here are the pros and cons of purchasing a Twin Mattress vs. Twin XL Mattress


Twin Mattress Dimensions - 39" X 75"
​Twin size mattresses are 39 inches in width and 75 inches in length. Sometimes they are referred to as "single" mattresses. They can accommodate one sleeper, although the length is sometimes too short for taller adults. Twin mattresses are used for bunk beds, children's rooms and smaller rooms.

PROS:
  • It is easier to find sheets and frames 
  • It may take less space at room
  • It is more affordable
  • Easy to move

CONS:
  • It is shorter in length
  • Taller adults may not benefit from the size

REASONS TO CHOOSE A TWIN: Twin mattresses are the next transition from a crib mattress for small children. They can accommodate smaller teens and adults comfortably too. You should choose a twin mattress if you are looking to make extra space in your room, need a quick solution for adding extra sleeping accomodations or have a child that has just grown out of a crib size mattress.
Twin mattresses are one of the most affordable mattress options. At Columbus Mattress Wholesale our twins start out at $125 for mattress and box spring. Twin size mattresses can fit comfortably in small rooms that are 84" x 120". The mattress itself is too narrow to support two people of average height, if you are looking to accomodate a tall teen or adult the Twin XL would be more ideal.

Twin mattresses are easy to move and transfer from room to room. The weight of the mattress depends on the type of mattress and how thick it is.


Picture
Twin XL Mattress Dimensions - 39" X 80"
Twin XL mattresses are 39 inches in width and 80 inches in length. With an added five inches of length to your sleeping space, Twin XL mattresses can be a better choice for taller people wanting a twin-size option. You can find Twin XL's in college dorms and guest bedrooms.

PROS:
  • More space for tall teens and adults
  • Two Twin XL's can be converted into a King Size 
  • Additional foot room

CONS:
  • Harder to find sheets and frames
  • Not suitable for smaller sized rooms

​WHY CHOOSE A TWIN XL MATTRESS: The length of a Twin XL Mattress is the same as a Queen and King size Mattress 80". If you are an adult or taller teenager, this mattress size allows for more foot room. Twin XL is also the best option for adults that are looking for their own space. Two Twin XL Mattresses equal a King Size Mattress. The cost of Twin XL mattresses are slightly higher than your average twin size mattress because of its added length and ability to make a King Size with two. If you are 6 feet tall you should opt for a Twin XL mattress over a regular Twin size mattress.

At Columbus Mattress Wholesale we have Twin XL Mattresses starting at $395. Twin XL mattresses will fit comfortably in rooms with the minimum dimensions 84" x 120". Twin XL Mattresses offer more comfort for heightened people but are harder to find sheets and frames for.


Cbus Mattress Girl Winner:
Twin Mattress

If I had to choose between the two I would recommend the Twin Mattress. Simply, because you'll spend less time searching for sheets and blankets. Plus Twin Mattresses are just the beginning step to a Queen or King size mattress that will last 10-15 years.

Is It Time For A New Mattress?

Signs It Might Be Time To Get A New Mattress

Picture
Cbus Mattress Girl here to answer a question I get all of the time!
When should I replace my old mattress? 


First things first, If you’re wondering about getting a new mattress it's probably ready to be replaced . Mattresses are typically designed to last between five and ten years, depending on the quality of the mattress and upkeep. I like to go by the 8 rule... "replace every eight". This means replace your mattress every eight years to avoid sleepless nights and in eight years you'll have enough savings in your budget for the mattress you're looking for.

Here are some signs that it's time to replace your old mattress

1. Time & Mattress Age
As time goes by changes will occur with your mattress and you may notice visible signs of aging, this is natural. Look for signs of wear and tear or indentations. 

2. A Dirty Mattress
Mattresses carry a lot of dirt! They collect body fluids, dead skin cells, animal hair, dust mites, pollen and other allergies (that double over ten years). The best way to protect your mattress from dirt is by using a mattress protector and washing your sheets on a regular basis.

3. A Change In Your Lifestyle
Did you purchase your current mattress to share with a partner you are no longer with? Or maybe for your child to sleep with you with enough space? Often times people forget about simple life changes, noticing these changes can help you get better sleep. Use these next life steps to get a mattress that belongs to you (and partner) and provides the support and space you (and your partner) need. 

4. Sleepless Nights / Waking Up With Aches & Pains
Are you not getting as much sleep as you used to? Or maybe you're waking up with aches and pains? If you answered yes to either of these questions it might be time to start mattress shopping. All of these are signs of a worn-out mattress. 

Avoid these things to lengthen your mattresses longevity
-Don't use it as a trampoline
-Don't eat or drink on your bed
-Don't lay in bed with shoes on
-Don't use your bed as storage to hold other items

What Are Hybrid Mattresses Made Of?

​What Are Hybrid Mattresses Made Of?

Picture
Hybrid mattresses are the new customer favorite! In the last few years we have seen hybrid latex mattresses become a hit because they are versatile and give you the comfort in between an innerspring and memory foam.

So, if you have commitment issues...I suggest a hybrid latex mattress.

What is a hybrid bed, anyway?
Hybrid beds are 50% individually wrapped coils and 50% memory foam. The coils give the mattress support and the memory foam layers help with posture and coolness factor.

What is latex?
Latex mattresses are made of natural latex - not synthetic materials. These mattresses are beneficial for back, side and stomach sleepers.

What Are Innerspring Mattresses Made Of?

element_settings.Image+Text_94464494.default
Example of the inside of a innerspring mattress
Innerspring mattresses come in two different styles
1. Open Coil 
2. Individually Pocket Springs

The base of innerspring mattresses consist of steel coil springs for support. The quilting on top of the mattress can range in color, coolness options and is typically made out of cotton blend fabrics. ​

FUN FACT: When it comes to coils, the number of coils does not always mean you'll have the same level of comfort from one mattress to another. However, the number of coils do help reduce motion transfer and make a difference in the level of support a mattress has. 

Depending on the manufacturer innerspring mattresses may sometimes include other types of foam, including memory foam, gel memory foam, latex materials. Innerspring mattresses also have edge support . This consists of thick metal rods or foam inserts that make the edge of the bed comfortable enough to sit and sleep on.

What Are Memory Foam Mattresses Made Of?

What Are Memory Foam Mattresses Made Of?

Discover the inside materials of memory foam mattresses, that make you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud!
Memory Foam mattresses consist of memory foam layers and polyurethane material which conform to your body. The newest type of memory foam family is the gel memory foam. 

A BIG misconception about memory foam mattresses is that all of them are soft. The truth is that the mattresses range from firm to soft. This is possible because of the different specialty foam layers and how they are stacked. Memory foam mattresses help balance your body temperature, and absorb movement so there is little to no motion transfer while you sleep. 

​Memory Foam beds do not have coils in them! This is great for those who prefer to settle into the mattress with less of a bounce factor. Since they don’t have coils, memory foam mattresses don’t need a foam encasement for edge support to hold the bed together.

What's Really Inside Of A Mattress?

What's Really Inside Of A Mattress?

Picture
Have you ever wondered what's inside of your mattress? You're not alone. 
Here are some of the most common materials found in mattresses


POLYURETHANE FOAM
​
Polyurethane Foam: Also known as polyfoam, polyurethane foam is a synthetic material derived from polyol and isocyanate petrochemicals. Polyfoam comfort layers were used in some of the first mattresses produced – particularly innerspring mattresses. In recent years, latex has become a more popular comfort layer option resulting in less polyfoam mattresses. 
  • ​Mattresses with polyfoam comfort layers may be for you if:
  • You awaken easily due to noise or movement
  • You prefer a mattress that does not conform to tightly your body
  • You are shopping on a limited budget
  • Mattresses with polyfoam comfort layers may not be for you if:
  • You tend to get hot while you sleep
  • You are experiencing aches and pains
  • You are sensitive to off-gassing smells
  • You are looking to purchase a mattress with a longer-than-average lifespan

MEMORY FOAM
Memory Foam: Also known as viscoelastic foam, memory foam is a specialized polyfoam material developed by NASA engineers in the 1970s. Memory foam is designed to become softer when it comes into contact with body heat. This allows the material to conform to the sleeper's body closely, without sagging. When the sleeper gets up, the foam will return back to normal. One mis-concept of memory foam is that it is always soft. Memory foam is measured in density and can by super soft or even firm. Memory foam is considered one of the best comfort layer materials for sleepers with chronic aches and pains because it isolates motion transfer very well. A common disadvantage is off-gassing, as memory foam tends to emit more odor than other mattress materials and without cool gel technology it can get very warm.
  • ​Mattresses with memory foam comfort layers may be for you if:
  • You have serious or chronic aches and pains
  • You want a mattress that conforms to your body
  • You awaken easily due to movement or noise
  • You are looking to spend around the average price point for a mattress
  • Mattresses with memory foam comfort layers may not be for you if:
  • You tend to get hot while you are sleeping
  • You are sensitive to off-gassing odors
  • You are looking to purchase a mattress with a longer-than-average lifespan

Memory Foam Fact: Memory Foam was developed by NASA in 1966 to improve the safety of aircraft cushions and was publicly released in the 1980s. 

LATEX
Latex: Latex is created from the sap of rubber trees. It has a wide range of uses due to its natural softness and durability. Natural latex is blended with synthetic chemicals. Mattresses with small amounts of synthetic latex are referred to as 'natural latex mattresses,' beds that do not contain any chemicals are 'organic mattresses'. Latex conforms your body alleviating pain and pressure points and most latex beds are virtually silent when bearing weight. Latex mattresses usually have a longer than normal life expectancy but can get hot if they lack added on cooling features.
  • ​​Mattresses with latex comfort layers may be for you if:
  • You are sensitive to smell 
  • You wake up easily to noise or movement 
  • You want a mattress that conforms to your body
  • You are looking to purchase a mattress with a longer-than-average lifespan
  • ​​Mattresses with latex comfort layers may not be for you if:
  • You tend to get hot while you are sleeping
  • You have a limited budget

MINICOILS + NANOCOILS
Minicoils + Nanocoils: Minicoils and nanocoils are 1-4 inches thick. They are used in beds with foam or latex support cores, but are mostly common in innersprings and hybrids. This combination of coils in innersprings and hybrids is known as coil-on-coil construction. Minicoils and nanocoils usually offer stronger than average support, good air circulation and they reduce motion transfer/ noise.
  • ​Mattresses with minicoil + nanocoil comfort layers may be for you if:
  • You have serious or chronic aches and pains
  • You wake up easily to noise or movement 
  • You tend to get hot while you are sleeping
  • ​​Mattresses with minicoil + nanocoil comfort layers may not be for you if:
  • You prefer mattresses that are not tall in height
  • You prefer all foam cores

NATURAL FIBERS
Natural Fibers: Natural Fiber comfort layers have become popular in the last few years. Cotton, wool, hemp, horsehair and coconut coir are all natural fiber substitutes for latex and memory foam layers in mattresses.
  • ​Mattresses with natural fiber comfort layers may be for you if:
  • You are eco-friendly
  • You tend to get hot when you are sleeping
  • You are looking to purchase a mattress with a longer-than-average lifespan
  • ​​Mattresses with natural fiber comfort layers may not be for you if:
  • You are sensitive to smell
  • You wake up easily to noise or movement 
  • You have a limited budget
​​
BUCKLING-COLUMN GEL
Buckling-column Gel: This comfort layer was developed by brothers Tony and Terry Pearce in the 1990s. The Pearces went on to found Purple. Buckling-column gel is a dry-polymer substance that comes from mineral oil. It is then evenly distributed across a grid of rubber-like elastic polymer columns. The columns respond to compression by buckling. Mattresses with buckling-column gel are harder to find and mattress shoppers face a limited selection to choose from.​
  • Mattresses with natural fiber comfort layers may be for you if:
  • You have serious or chronic aches and pains
  • You tend to get hot when you are sleeping
  • You are looking to purchase a mattress with a longer-than-average lifespan
  • ​​Mattresses with natural fiber comfort layers may not be for you if:
  • You wake up easily to noise or movement - these mattresses can often make a crackling noise when buckling
  • You have a limited budget
