UPHOLSTERY LAYERS, PADDING
Upholstery layers provide cushioning and comfort. Some manufacturers
call the mattress core the “support layer” and the upholstery
layer the “comfort layer.” The upholstery layer usually consists of
three parts: the insulator, the middle upholstery, and the quilt.
The top of your mattress contains several layers of padding. The
top layer is right below where you sleep and has a big impact on
how comfortable the mattress feels overall. Beneath that is another
layer of padding that affects how much support the mattress gives
the pressure points in your body. Finally, beneath that is another
layer of padding that protects your body from the springs if your
mattress is a spring mattress. In most cases, padding is usually
made of materials such as polyurethane foam, puffed-up polyester
or cotton batting. Extensive mattress padding is often more expensive,
but many people find it more comfortable and worth the extra
cost.
