cotton and cven goose down. For
the. best in underlying support,
manufacturers are using the most

‘advanced innerspring designs, new
“classes of high resilience foams,
and new generations of water- and
air-based support systems.

The appearance of this new-age
bedding also is more luxurious.
Not only does it iook thicker and
plusher, its ticking is quilted in at-
tractive, colorful damasks and knit

_ fabrics, making it much more vi-
sually exciting.

Some top-of-the-line mattresses
now feature pillow-top construc-
tion: an extra-thick - layer / of
super-soft cushioning attached to
the top of the mattress, almost'like
having a built-in comforter to sleep

on. .

The effect is like falling into a
cloud of supportive softness that

ence. | ; ;

“Butler urges consumers shopping

for this new: genre of bedding to

every 8 to 10 years. \

discard old notions about firm-
ness, overcome their shyness, and

different mattress sets.

“ft can be one of the most con-
fusing purchases anyone makes,"’
she’ acknowledges. “‘‘What one
mnanufacturer calis ‘firm’ may be
another, manufacturer’s ‘super-

firm." Consumers need to look | :

beyond those terms and choose the
set with the combination of sup-
port and comfort that feeis just
right for them.”’

The Better Sleep Council sug-
gests that sleep problems are often
bed problems and advises replacing
your mattress and ~ foundation

And, as Butler says, “anyone -
who hasn't shopped for a bed in -

the last few years is in for a sur-

prise when they see the quality ang
experience the luxury.’’ |
