Have you ever thought about the foams in your mattress and the role they play in helping you sleep better? I've been reviewing mattresses for half a decade and have learned a lot in my career as a 'Professional Goldilocks,' but finally seeing how the mattresses I test are made has given me a fresh perspective on the work I do.
I joined the Tom's Guide sleep team on a trip to 3Z Brands in Arizona for a behind-the-scenes look at how some of the best mattresses are put together. Our time there included a factory tour and a hands-on session where we 'built' our own mattresses. Through those experiences, I developed a better understanding of just how much the foams of a mattress (and how it's constructed) can impact its feel.
