Yes, I know that the Euro mattresses represent a small portion of the mattress population here in the US, however from my perspective they are years ahead of the US technology which seems to be stuck in old world technology.
I've been looking into a Euro Latex mattress which has 7 different compression zones. The zones are accomplished by molding different hole patterns. Seeems like a logical approach to accomodating the body profile. I know that IKEA makes some similar mattresses, however I'm referring to a higher quality German manufactured units. Are there no forum participants here that have experience with these mattresses? It seems that there is so much technical interest here that these mattresses surely have come under the radar screen on this forum. This message was modified Apr 24, 2011 by simplemind

I think no one talks about them because no one knows about them or owns one. I live in a big city and have never run across any European mattresses here. They probably exist here but I'm just saying, they're not very common. I don't doubt that there are better mattresses made in Europe than in the USA. Here, only a few very expensive high end make "advanced" and quality mattresses. The rest are just mass-produced. We do have a lot in the way of latex mattresses though. Stearns and Foster makes a synthetic latex which is zoned and is included in some of their upper echelon mattresses. Or is it Simmons? One or the other does this. Simmons also has some mattresses with an extra layer of visco foam across the lumbar region and now even Sealy is doing somethng similar with a reinforced lumbar region.
