The RhapsodyBed by Tempurpedic® Mattress versus the AngelBed Riviera Mattress

Mattress technology has changed dramatically during the last two decades. The progression has been quite remarkable. Every step of the way, the bedding industry has taken advantage of the advances in technology to improve the way we sleep.
When you think that our founding fathers slept on feather beds, it’s amazing how far we’ve come. Here’s a quick rundown.
Innerspring Mattresses: Spring mattresses are made from hundreds of wire coils topped with a protecting layer of foam to provide comfort. A normal life span of these mattresses is 5 to 10 years.
Water Mattresses: Water mattresses are considered the first type of conforming mattress. They work by reducing the pressure on the body, providing proper spine and body.
Latex Mattress: Latex is perhaps the most similar to memory foam mattresses. The material gives a springy, bouncy feel to your bed that relieves the pressure on the body. The quality varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Air Mattresses: Air mattresses are another kind of conforming mattress. The firmness, hence support, varies depending on how much air is contained in the mattress.
Memory Foam Mattresses: These are perhaps the most advanced type of mattresses. They use a memory foam material that was created by NASA to relieve g-force pressure on astronauts. Many have described sleeping on memory foam mattresses as sleeping on a cloud, because it confirms to the body, making you feel weightless and promotes a deep, restful sleep.
Following are comparisons of two memory foam mattresses that use this exact techhnology.

About The RhapsodyBed by Tempurpedic® Extra Layer: The standout feature of this mattress is that it is made with an extra layer of material, called the TEMPUR-HD™ Comfort Layer. This pushes the size of the entire mattress to 11 inches of thickness.
Dual Air Circulation System: The base features a dual air circulation system which promotes better air flow.

Mattress Cover: The cover consists of micro-fiber suede sides, with a stretchy top made of woven polyester. It resists dust mites, is hypo-allergenic and machine washable.
Price: Starts at $2,299.

About the AngelBed Riviera Mattress

Extra Layer: An extra layer of comfort is added to this mattress using state-of-the-art, higher density viscoelastic foam. A full 11 inches of comfort helps to relieve all body pressure and promote a comfortable, weightless sleep.
Cool Air System: Located at the base of the mattress, the sequence of peaks and valleys in the system allows for maximum air flow. This means that a comfortable body temperature is maintained at all times while sleeping.

Mattress Cover: Consisting of suede borders, the top of this mattress cover is made from stretch knit.
Price: Starts at $999.
Here are two practically identical products. Both provide a cooling air-circulation system to regulate body temperature while sleeping; both use an extra layer of high-quality viscoelastic foam that increases the size of the mattress to a comfortable 11 inches and both have washable, stretch covers.
As the quality is identical, you have to wonder, why is the price of The RhapsodyBed by Tempur-Pedic® a full $1,300 more. This is not something you have to lose sleep over. The AngelBed Riviera Mattress is the obvious choice.
