We have all heard of the ever so famous TempurPedic mattress, but now, in addition to that, we have Bob-O-Pedic mattresses. They sound similar, but are they the same thing? What is the difference between them? And what the heck is a Bob-O-Pedic mattress anyway? To find out, continue reading this article. Throughout, we will discuss everything that you need to know about Bob-O-Pedic mattresses.
What the heck is a Bob-O-Pedic mattress?
www.mybobs.com – This is where you will find a Bob-O-Pedic mattress. Sold by Bob’s discount furniture store, the Bob-O-Pedic mattress is about 12 inches thick with approximately 4 inches of Viscoelastic memory foam and 7 inches of dual, plush, or firm foam. They come in a variety of different sizes, ranging from twin to king, and can be bought in split form with half of the mattress plush and half firm (for those who have partners with different sleeping preferences). Depending on whether you buy individual pieces or packages, the cost of a Bob-O-Pedic mattress can range anywhere between $200 and $1500.
The difference between a memory foam mattress and a regular mattress:
The majority of people in America sleep on a traditional innerspring mattress. There is a huge difference between these traditional mattresses and the memory foam mattress. Mainly, when you sleep on a regular mattress, you are sleeping atop the mattress. When you sleep on a memory foam mattress, your body sinks in and the mattress forms around your body shape. It is also said that, because you are sinking into plush, memory foam mattresses are warmer to sleep on than regular innerspring mattresses.
Is a memory foam mattress right for you?
It depends completely on your preferences. Some people prefer firm mattresses, others prefer soft mattresses. And while memory foam mattresses are generally considered to be quite soft, they also come available in firmer options.
To determine if a memory foam mattress is right for you, try it out in the store. Give yourself a good 15 minutes of lying time on each bed that you try. After rolling around several times on a memory foam mattress, you will have a better idea as to what to expect when you bring it home.
Bob-O-Pedic vs. TemperPedic
While Bob-O-Pedic and TemperPedic both make memory foam mattresses, there are some differences between the two. Firstly, TemperPedic mattresses guarantee that you can have a glass of wine on one side of the bed and jump on the other side without ever spilling the wine – this is something you definitely wouldn’t want to try with a Bob-O-Pedic mattress! With these mattresses, you are more likely to feel the movement of your partner on the other side of the bed.
However, if you can handle the movement of your partner, buying from Bob-O-Pedic can save you a great deal of money. Much cheaper than TemperPedic mattresses, the Bob-O-Pedic mattress offers the same level of comfort for a much cheaper price.
The verdict about Bob-O-Pedic?
Let’s face it – TemperPedic is one of the top mattress brands in the world and probably offers higher quality materials than Bob-O-Pedic. With that said, they don’t come without a price. The cost of a TemperPedic mattress can be several thousand more than that of a Bob-O-Pedic mattress. And despite the fact that TemperPedic uses different materials, both the TemperPedic and Bob-O-Pedic mattress can provide the same comfortable sleep. So the decision is yours – do you want to spend $4000 for a good night sleep, or do you want to spend $1000 for a good night sleep?
