AUSTIN, Texas – August 9, 2011 -
Introducing the Lady Americana Plus mattress for the plus size market.
Taylor Bedding announces it will be manufacturing the “Plus” mattress for the Lady Americana brand. This mattress is specifically designed for the plus-size market. The Plus mattress caters to the style and comfort of heavier consumers with a creamy soft cashmere fabric top, chocolate suede panels trimmed with ivory piping and a newly engineered structural design.
Three design components set the Plus mattress apart. The Plus mattress is ‘zoned for comfort’ to provide more support along the center third of the mattress which carries most of the body’s weight during sleep. Along with re-enforced struts, the core of the Plus mattress uses continuous fine wire spring technology to distribute the weight across the length of the mattress. The Plus mattress is encased with the breakthrough comfort foam called AvenaTM manufactured by the Carpenter Co.. This American made, high density new foam product supports more weight per cubic foot than traditional foam, is silky to the touch, hypo allergenic, and inherently fire retardant.
“Well proportioned consumers like myself, have spent their sleep lives on ordinary mattresses that wear out faster and lack support. Industry estimates about 30% of Americans are overweight. Now, we can enjoy a luxurious mattress especially designed for our plus-size needs.” comments Ray Frazier, vice president of sales for Taylor Bedding Company.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average adult American is about one inch taller and nearly 25 pounds heavier than they were in 1960. The CDC estimates that the average 40-49 year old man is 5’ 9” tall and weighs 196 pounds, up from 169 pounds in 1960, and average women are 5’ 4” tall and 168 pounds, up from 143 in 1960’s. The American plus-size market is expected to continue to grow.
