In 2010, Sealy® enlisted the design expertise of IDEO® (pronounced “eye-dee-oh”), who is an award-winning global design firm that takes a human-centered approach to helping organizations in the public and private sectors innovate and grow. 
The Sealy® project began by defining the market opportunities for all innerspring beds. In-depth interviews with consumers and sleep experts provided inspiration and direction for a revolutionary bed design and, more importantly, shaped our thinking about the mattress purchase and ownership experience. Consumers wanted a brand that acknowledged the bed as more than a piece of furniture to sleep on, and spoke to the emotional aspects of rest.
Well, those Sealy® visions have come to life, and they are available now! It all begins with the right support and Sealy® has developed a patented “Titanium Steel Innerspring” coil unit that retains 98% of it shape for the life of your mattress. For the first time ever, Sealy® Posturepedic® now incorporates a lumbar support in the center third portion of the mattress called “CoreSupport™”. CoreSupport™ is comprised of tightening the stitching in the middle of the quilt, adding the use of the power-packed memory foam for cushioning your lumbar and Titanium Steel Innerspring coils for support. In addition to supporting your lumbar region Sealy® has developed a strong side support called “SitRight™”. This edge support allows you to sleep all the way to the edge of the bed without rolling off, and keeps the edges from breaking down over the years.
Another feature that has been welcomed is the new handles! Sealy’s® incorporation of “LiftRight™” handles finally make turning a mattress end to end a pleasure. Some of the better models have handles that almost go all the way around the mattress! If you have a mattress that slides off the box spring during the night, Sealy has invented the “StayTight™” non-skid box spring, so once your mattress is in place it will never slide again and your sheets will be held tight to the mattress.
It’s no coincidence that the new 2011 Sealy Posturepedic is the most anticipated product introduction in bedding history! With all of these exciting new features, you are able to sleep better with the confidence that your back is supported and you investment will last for years to come!
Bonded leather is similar whereas you have bonded leather and a full grain leather hide. Bonded leather is leather scraps that are “left over” on the factory floor. These leather scraps are gathered and ground up, then pressed together with a bonding agent to form a “hide”. Thus the name “bonded leather”. Sometimes the process stops here and the bonded leather is 100% leather. Other times the pressed hide is covered in polyurethane that is colored and textured to match a premium hide. This bonded product has much better characteristics than vinyl.
Sealy Mattress, the world’s largest mattress company, invited Royal Heritage executives to look at an exciting new Sealy/Royal Heritage line being designed for early 2011! During a private showing in High Point, North Carolina, Sealy executives showcased new product designs that will truly revolutionize the industry!

As much as we would love to divulge the exciting new Sealy/Royal Heritage mattress design by IDEO – we were sworn to secrecy by Sealy. So, stay tuned, as the world of mattresses will change on March 1st forever!
going down in the basement each year to bring up the many boxes of Christmas decorations for the tree, mantle and furniture? For most of us it is some of our earliest memories. The wonderful sights of the various holiday decorations along with the seasonal smells.
What end table doesn’t have a ceramic Christmas tree? And a coffee table just doesn’t look right without a beautiful arrangement of poinsettas.
A festive Christmas pillow or beautiful holiday throw are a wonderful touch.
What!? “It’s my house and my furniture too” I reply! I can’t believe it… She goes on to explain that sitting on one cushion will ruin the sofa. I need to change it up and spend equal amounts of time on each cushion to even the wear.
I grab my favorite blanket out of the storage ottoman along with a pillow. I put the pillow beside me as an arm rest and throw the blanket over my lap and legs. The beer, chips and candy are placed on the end table to my left exactly at arm distance. The computer is on my lap and NFL.com dialed up. I reach across to the TV remote control (placed a half inch from the beer). Monday Night football begins and the opening song of the show drifts heavenly through the room.
I don’t like it. There is no lamp on this side and it is uncomfortable to make the reach now with my opposite hand… I put my feet back up on the ottoman, pull the blanket back over me and put the pillow under my arm as the armrest. I am uncomfortable and a plant is in the way…
What!? Bed bugs have been found inside the Indiana University campus library? And inside the store “Niketown” in NYC? Bloomingdales NYC? How creepy can this get? What’s next, finding them inside the local country club?
You could encase both the mattress and box spring as a proactive measure. As soon as you put the encasement on your bed any bed bugs trapped inside will eventually die, provided you do not unzip shortly after putting them on. Some people encase their new beds as it prevents bugs from getting in and makes it easier to clean.
Whether it was a holiday spent at grandma’s house, or a family trip up north to the country, many of us have stayed at a country or cottage-styled home at one time in our very eventful lives. Country and cottage-styled homes are a staple of American design and can be a peaceful place to live or visit, and are a place where your problems seem to fade away.
