Support	We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief. Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge. Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency. Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.	The High Density Support Core (HD) gives your body the right support so you awaken refreshed. By eliminating counter pressure, blood flows freely throughout your body without harmful capillary compression and restriction caused by pressure points. Responsive Memory Foam 10 Inch thick design with 2.5" Premium Memory Foam comfort layer.

Does the L&S mattress resist dust mites?

L&S mattresses are made from high-density foam which doesn't provide a conducive environment for dust mites to thrive. However, it's recommended to use a mattress protector to increase defense against dust mites and prolong the life of the mattress.

Where is the L&S mattress made?

L&S mattresses are designed and crafted in the USA, but they are manufactured overseas.

Will my mattress from Live and Sleep fit my current bedroom furniture?

Yes, as long as you purchase the same size bed you currently sleep on. The Live and Sleep mattress will fit in all standard-size bedroom furniture. However, it's important to note that the purchase of a new Live & Sleep Mattress does not include a box spring or foundation.
