Royal-Pedic's Craftsmanship

Engineered in Switzerland, the Royal-Flex® innerspring unit is the finest offset coil spring system available, with 85% more coils than is standard. These open ended, unknotted six turn coils are more flexible, which means greater sensitivity to body contours, overall body support and minimum friction. The innerspring unit is double heat tempered, a process where the coils are baked in an oven, cooled, then baked again. The heat tempering process provides greater durability and resistance to sag.

Our Royal-Pedic organic cotton mattresses are hand-crafted using the finest natural materials available. Layers of premium quality, staple cotton padding ensure a consistent, supportive sleeping surface. Our cotton is pre-compressed and hand-tufted so you won't get lumps or shifting of materials. We use only the finest cotton batting from California and Texas. Cotton is our main padding ingredient - it is both comfortable and durable.

Natural materials ventilate body heat and provide greater durability than polyurethane foam - the main padding ingredient found in other mattresses. We do not use polyurethane due to its limited ability to provide consistent body support over time - the foam cells weaken and collapse with use causing significant indentations in the mattress in many cases, which affects overall back support and comfort. Many companies that offer mattresses using polyurethane foam padding know that this material can likely break down during the warranty period. That's why some of these companies put in their warranty that they only will repair the mattress if the compression is greater than 2" deep!

Moreover, for health reasons we choose to use natural materials instead of polyurethane foam. The human body is like a 98.6° heater that, in combination with polyurethane padding, can trigger allergic, respiratory, and chemical reactions in some people. We look forward to providing you with the healthiest, most comfortable and durable mattress possible.

The inner padding is hand tufted, compressing it for exceptional back support and minimizing body impressions. Each mattress is meticulously hand tufted with European tufting straps to pre-compress the cotton padding for orthopedic back support. Hand tufting is a process our company founder, Abe Kaplan learned back in the 1930's while working for Heals of London, a premiere mattress maker, who at the time made mattresses for the Royal Family of England. It takes our skilled craftsmen much longer to make one of our custom made, hand tufted mattresses, but quality has always been more important to our company than how many we can make in a day.

We do not hand tie our box springs. This method of holding the coils in place with cording can result in a lumpy mattress. The cording can and does stretch, which forces the coil out of position on an angle. In addition, many workers who hand tie box springs end up with carpal tunnel and arthritis in their hands. Instead of hand tied box springs, we use a wire system called the Webster Lock Grid System to keep the coils in place. Steel wire is woven throughout the tops of the coils to secure the coil in place to eliminate the possibility of any lateral movement.
