Ditex Vs Competitors (Part 2)
Natural Cotton vs. Polyfoam
Most mattresses
are made with petroleum-based polyfoam. Even so-called soy-based
polyfoams contain approximately 90 percent petroleum based synthetic
polyurethane, which dry out and break down over time. Ditex incorporates
100 percent organic cotton into every innerspring mattress regardless of
price point. Cotton is the most comfortable and durable upholstery
material available. If you are going to sleep on a mattress for one-third
of your life, would you prefer to sleep on natural cotton or synthetic
polyfoam?
Tufted vs. Quilted
Quilted
mattresses are typically found in the mattress industry. Quilting
machines stitch layers of polyfoam and fiber together creating the top surface
of a mattress. Ditex hand-tufts its premium mattresses, sewing through
the entire mattress with a very long needle. Stitching a mattress from
top to bottom locks all upholstery layers together with the innerspring
creating a mattress that will stay comfortable longer.
Coil Counts vs. Gauge
Marketing
departments for many manufacturers boast high mattress coil counts. More
coils in the same space (most manufacturers publish queen size coil counts)
means smaller coils. Smaller coils mean thinner wire. Thinner wire
means less firmness and support. It is much more important to have
thicker (heavier gauge) steel coils than a higher number of coils. Ditex only
uses large, heavy (gauge) steel coils for maximum comfort and support
