I Want a Mattress with Lumbar Support

A. R. writes:

I visited a mattress warehouse when I was out of town and I tried a mattress that the salesman said had lumbar support. I'm trying to find that mattress brand online but I'm having trouble. Which mattress lines specifically offer lumbar support?


M.J. of SleepHappens.com responds:

Lumbar support simply means that the mattress offers back support. All mattresses offer back support to some degree but the amount of support varies by model, manufacturer, and most importantly, the individual sleeping on the mattress. Generally, higher quality brand name mattresses offer better lumbar support. I suggest that you look at Sealy Posturepedic, Simmons BeautyRest, Serta Perfect Sleeper, and Tempurpedic brands to find the best mattress for you. Our website,
www.sleephappens.com, carries all four lines.

What Do You Mean by a Bed?

Brandon writes:

I am looking at the Kimberly Aspen bed, and have a few questions. The first question is whether or not the mattress comes with a boxspring? Also, I'm assuming that the bedding shown in the products picture isn't included.


MJ of Sleephappens.com responds:

The Kimberly Aspen bed does not include a mattress or boxspring. The Kimberly Aspen bed is actually the headboard, footboard, and rails shown in the picture. On our website, http://www.sleephappens.com/, a "bed" refers to the furniture that you put a mattress and boxspring on, whereas a "mattress set" refers to the actual mattress and boxspring.


In the mattress industry, "bedding" refers to a mattress and/or boxspring. However, I assume that you are referring to the comforter set that appears in the picture. To answer your question, the comforter set is not included.
