The Natonal Sleep Foundation says that the average american adult requires 8 hours of sleep nightly. However, they also state that few people consistently get the amount of sleep necessary to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

The Kingsdown Mattress Company, headquartered in Mebane North Carolina, takes this information very seriously and considers it their responsibility to help people achieve an optimum sleep experience. Managing by objective; that objective enclosed in their slogan "Sleep to Live", Kingsdown Mattress has taken the approach of reinvention when developing a better sleep system because of their desire to help people sleep better and healthier.

For some years now, there has been a quiet revolution underway in the mattress set industry. By combining the proven best of the "old" with the creative functionality of the "new", Kingsdown has combined manufacturing with technology to present the very best that the 21st century high-volume retail bedding market has to offer. Kingsdown mattress sets feature a "coil on coil" construction scheme. This format includes pressure relieving coils in both the mattress AND the foundation/box spring, serving as the structural core for the ultimate in comfort, pressure relief and proper postural alignment. Kingsdown also takes advantage of the invention and development of a wide variety of natural and synthetic foams. As each human body and lifestyle is different, so Kingsdown presents a variety of sleep surfaces to accomodate any dormodiagnostic profile.

In many retail outlets where better mattress sets are sold, Kingsdown features an interactive "dormodiagnostic test". This test is a 21st century combination of computer technology and Kingsdown mattress components designed to help the bedding customer "custom fit" themselves to a Kingsdown Mattress set. A helpful Kingsdown mattress sales associate will assist the prospective Kingsdown Mattress customer through a series of lifestyle and sleep questions. These questions are displayed and subsequently answered on a touch-screen computer. The customer is then asked to lay down on the dormodiagnostic test bed. The sales associate activates the test bed which reads the customers body impression, weight displacement, etc. The computer processes the information from the dormodiagnostic bed and integrates it with questionaire answers. The test result will include the recommended Kingsdown mattress set. The whole process takes 3-5 minutes to complete.

Kingdown begins their mattress manufacturing process with the most important ingredient; a good nights sleep. From there, they build a mattress set to reach that objective. In order to achieve this goal a Kingsdown mattress set will help a sleeper experience 3 things:

1. Proper Support - Many Mattress set shoppers complain of poor mattress support. This is indicated by a deterioration of foam and coil integrity in the mattress center. Most often occurring in low-end, non brand name lines, poor support is evidence poor structural quality. Kingsdown offers a very rare lifetime warranty against "excessive body dips".
2. Prosper Postural Alignment - The spinal column is neither straight or rigid like a 2x4. Kingsdown debunks the firm mattress myth by demonstrating how their unique coil construction and foam content in a Kingsdown mattress gently conforms to your body structure. Rather than forcing our bodies into an unnatural position, a Kingsdown mattress cradles you from head to toe, stimulating regenerative sleep.
3. Bloodflow - Kingsdown prevents inhibited bloodflow, perhaps the largest impediment to getting a good nights sleep.
