| I'd say educated "guess". I have seen how they make their mattresses, traditional tufting techniques, options for hand tieing the base, tufting straps used in the mattress, as well as just the materials they use (which I have felt samples of). There are only about 2 handfuls of companies worldwide that still make mattresses this way. Whether they are worth the cost is relative to your own needs and your comfort preference. |

| Hand tieing the base is a comfort thing primarily, gives a more bouyant feeling to the foundation. The tufting techniques are for comfort as well as preventing the fibre fills from shifting. Its mostly done for durability. As without it you might get a lumpy mattress some day. |

I tried a bunch more mattresses and decided to buy the the Royal Pedic All cotton mattress and separate 3 inch pillowtop pad. I found a local dealer who beat every other price I can find by 300.00, so I ordered from him . Hope it works out , will let you know
Thanks for all the great help on this forum |

Congrats on your purchase. You are one of the few (only one that I can think of) on here that bought one of these upper end innersprings. Let us know how it works out. I would love to be able to sleep on one to see if the extra investment is worth it. How did it compare/contrast to other things you tried? |

Thanks I tried alot of S brand types , and the royal pedic just seemed much firmer and better built. I tried the tempupedic which were too mushy for me I tried a few other high end types like : http://www.hypnos.ltd.uk/UnitedStates/USA.htm
which were really nice , but very expensive and was worried about all the built in padding
in the end I liked the idea that the royal pedic is high quality and very firm , and the the removeable pilow top pads can be replaced if they sink in. It was a very expensive purchase but I am hopefull it will last a long time |
