Simmons ComforPedic
- Details
The Simmons ComforPedic memory foam mattress collection is going head-to-head with Tempur-Pedic. Simmons is running commercials that prompt customers to try Tempur-Pedic and ComforPedic mattresses side-by-side. ComforPedic are available in a wide range of styles each with different layers and features. Owner reviews are quite good and praise ComforPedic mattresses for their ability to alleviate joint pain and limit motion transfer. They are also reportedly very comfortable and don’t sleep hot. On the downside, they tend to be a bit expensive and are also heavy.
Consumers give this mattress good ratings as can be seen in the table below (although conclusions are better drawn from a larger number of ratings):

Amazon carries a wide range of Simmons ComforPedic mattresses and they can be found here .
The ComforPedic collection consists of two main groups: The Advanced Collection and The Loft Collection. The Advanced collection includes 5 different models, each with varying thicknesses of memory foam and some have additional layers of latex foam and GelTouch foam. The Loft Collection is similar but it also includes a special air cooling feature that helps the mattress “sleep cooler”. Memory foam is known to “sleep hot” and it sometimes does not allow for effective heat dissipation. A number of manufacturers have developed means of cooling memory foam (such as air vents in the foam for example).
The Advanced Collection
The Advanced Collection of ComforPedic mattresses consists of five different models.
Blue Sky
- Available in plush or firm
- Regular NxG memory foam, Advanced NxG memory foam and latex foam*

- Edge support
- Carries a 25-year limited warranty (first 10 years non-prorated, last 15 years prorated)**

Notes:
*The Regular NxG memory foam has a density of 3.5 lbs/ft3 and the Advanced NxG memory foam has a density of 5.5 lbs/ft3.
**A non-prorated warranty covers the full replacement cost of the mattress during the term while a pro-rated warranty will only cover a percentage of the cost of mattress replacement and this percentage becomes smaller as the mattress gets older.

We have noticed that there are a number of different names for ComforPedic mattresses online and a number don’t match those listed above. Mattress manufacturers and retailers often create consumer confusion by renaming models such that comparison shopping is next to impossible (read our article: Are Mattress Companies Misleading Consumers?).
As mentioned, these mattresses are not particularly inexpensive and a quick review of them on Amazon suggest prices range from between about $900 and $4700.
All of the polyurethane foam used in ComforPedic mattresses are CertiPUR-US approved. This means they have passed environmental, safety and health standards. Specifically they have low VOC emissions, no prohibited phthalates, no mercury, no lead, no formaldehyde, no heavy metals, no PBDE’s (fire-retardents), and no materials than deplete ozone (no CFC’s).
