The Advantages of Buying a Tufted Mattress

You may have heard us talk about our hand-tufted mattresses before. After all, we’re proud of them and the 120 years of combined experience we have crafting them. Hand-tufting is a proven upholstery method that compresses all of the materials used to fill a mattress. A long needle is used to compress the materials, holding them all together with the use of an anchor, which is known as the tuft. 

Are Tufted Mattresses Comfortable?

In a word, yes. Tufted mattresses are extremely comfortable. They’re one of the most popular styles of mattresses out there, as they can accommodate a number of different sleeping positions and needs. You get a level, more comfortable sleeping surface throughout the night compared to many non-tufted mattresses, which can improve your sleep quality and even overall health.

One of the key reasons it’s so comfortable is because it offers such great support for different sleeping positions. The art of tufting allows the mattress layers to hold their shape and remain taut and compressed. For the layperson, this means your mattress won’t develop impressions where your hips, shoulders, or head lays throughout the night.

A Mark of Craftsmanship

There aren’t a lot of mattress manufacturers in the world who still hand-tuft their mattresses. They require skilled artisans using a traditional method of mattress crafting. It’s one of the many things that makes Gardner Mattress stand out from our competitors.

Hand-tufted mattresses require precision, as the anchors must be evenly distributed throughout the mattress for both support and aesthetic purposes. However, the effort is worth the result, as customers receive a mattress that will last for roughly a decade thanks to that effort we put in. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, and that rings especially true for crafting our tufted mattresses.

A Must for Organic Mattresses

Organic mattresses are becoming increasingly in-demand as people take notice of environmental issues like sustainability and how long some mattresses sit in landfills, taking decades to break down and decompose. However, while organic materials have plenty of advantages, organic mattresses need to be crafted correctly to avoid the disadvantages.

Tufting is a necessity when using natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and horse hair. Unlike synthetic materials like memory foam, organic materials like cotton batting are looser and have the potential to shift and become bunched together as you sleep on them. Without tufting, this results in uncomfortable lumps and dents in the surface of the mattress.
