Craftmatic ® Vs SAT Bed™

What's the main difference between Craftmatic and SAT Bed?

Craftmatic is a distributor of adjustable beds that they do not manufacture. All their adjustable bed frames come from Leggett & Platt which is who everyone in the industry is using including ourselves. Craftmatic is a direct marketing company that has no retail stores. They use door-to-door solicitors. SAT Bed is a manufacturing company that is the world leader in therapeutic mattresses. Our mattresses were specially designed for adjustable beds.

If the mechanical frames are all the same, then what makes your product better?

The mattress! This is where everyone makes the mistake because most individuals make mattress decisions based on price or brand instead of quality. Not every mattress is able to bend adequately; the SAT mattress was designed specifically to bend as the mechanical frame bends.

What makes your mattress better then Craftmatic's?

Our SAT Self Adjusting Mattress is clinically recognized throughout the world. It is designed to lower your skin temperature and correctly support your back and relieve pressure. Craftmatic does not have a mattress that they can offer you that provides an environment for the human body that is pressure relieving and moisture absorbing.

Why can't the Craftmatic company provide a sleeping surface that provides the optimum sleeping environment?

Craftmatic will sell any mattress on their adjustable frame as long as they make a sale. They are limited to foam or inner spring mattresses, which are both inherently flawed. SAT Bed educates and details our revolutionary technology so that you understand that the outcome for long term health and wellness is focused on the mattress the person comes in contact with.

What are the three main criteria's for optimum sleep and why can't the Craftmatic mattress provide them where as the SAT mattress does?

The three main criteria for optimum sleep are:

Reduced Skin Temperature
Correct Spinal Support
Pressure Relief Below 32 mmHg

As we discussed, foam and innerspring mattresses create an environment that increases heat and moisture. The optimum sleep surface should reduces skin temperature to reduce moisture and lower the resting heart rate. Providing an environment that correctly supports rather than just absorbs benefits the entire spinal system. The computer board of the human body is the spinal system. Every nerve ending in our bodies originate from the spinal cord. Good back and spine health is necessary for overall optimum health and wellness. Providing a sleeping environment that keeps the human body below capillary closure at all times is paramount to vital health. Circulation of blood carries vital nutrients and oxygen through the body. Degenerative diseases do not proliferate in an oxygen rich environment. The SAT mattress is clinically recognized to provide the optimum sleeping environment for these three criteria. The SAT Sleep System is the only patented open air system in the world. Its unique intake and outtake valve system is truly the only sleep surface in the world that is individual specific.

Is the SAT mattress reimbursable for Medicare, Medicaid and Private Insurance?

Yes, the SAT mattress is the only air mattress recognized by the U.S. Gov't and Private Insurance in the consumer mattress marketplace. It has its own HCPCS Code E0 373 Non Powered Pressure Relieving Mattress. Craftmatic beds are not recognized as Durable Medical Equipment since they are not manufactured for health issues but rather comfort issues in consumer homes. The SAT mattress was medically tested and scientifically evaluated by the U.S. Gov't for 6 years before it was awarded this prestigious recognition.

Why is an air mattress much better for you than a foam mattress?

Real simply, a foam mattress is a commodity product that can only absorb weight. It is not patented and the functionality is limited to only absorption. However, an air mattress uses air flow which is able to displace weight. By displacing weight, you are able to reduce pressure even further.

Why is the SAT mattress able to relieve pressure and the Craftmatic mattress is only able to reduce it compared to inner spring mattresses?

The SAT mattress is the only air mattress in the world that is open to the atmosphere. SAT technology is patented where the functionality of the Craftmatic mattress is not. The intake and outtake valves on the SAT mattress always optimize internal pressures inside the cylinders so that the individual is always floating perfectly. The physics behind the technology are absolute with no margin of error. (Boyle's Law) The Craftmatic foam mattress is not able to achieve displacement since it only absorbs!

Why is the SAT mattress better for support then the Craftmatic foam mattress?

Craftmatic foam mattresses can only absorb, Eventually the individual bottoms out on foam since the foam can only compress so far. Two pieces of foam glued to each other cannot ideally correctly support since the human body is curved and the weight barring areas are not consistent. The shoulders, hips and buttocks carry the majority of weight on an individual's body. The SAT mattress has nine multiple zones that break the body into nine areas of correct support. The shoulders, hips and buttocks are always correctly supported regardless of body weight, type or shape.

Why does sleeping on a Craftmatic foam mattress cause perspiration and sweating on an individual's body where the SAT mattress does not?

Simple - Shearing and Friction. When a person lies on a foam mattress, their entire body and weight is absorbed into the foam. Shearing and friction occurs on the skin and tissue creating heat. The human body is a natural furnace burning through billions of cells each night as we sleep. The energy that our bodies create must have somewhere to dissipate and breath or perspiration occurs. The SAT mattress is a completely air permeable surface able to wick moisture away from the skin and evaporated it. The human body is being displaced perfectly so there is no shearing or friction since the individual is not being absorbed.

Why does the SAT mattress use a virgin wool cover and the Craftmatic mattress use cotton or nylon?

Quality. The SAT mattress uses the finest all natural organic wool cover in the world. Imported from New Zealand where there is an indigenous sheep called Downs which is recognized throughout the world as the best. Nature's miracle fiber is wool! It is anti-microbial, anti-allergen and absorbs 30% of its weight in moisture before you feel wet or damp. It is easily removed for cleaning in a household washing machine. Craftmatic uses cotton or nylon covers. Cotton absorbs moisture immediately and stays wet and damp creating an environment not conducive for optimal hygiene. How many days in a row could you wear a cotton tee shirt before you ultimately could not wear it anymore?

Why are foam mattresses prone to mold and mildew?

Simple. Foam is not launder able. The average mattress within 5 years time has 40% of its weight in dust mites and allergens. The feces and dust mites accumulate in foam since it almost impossible to adequately clean. Foam mattresses used in health care facilities all have durable nylon covers that are sprayed and cleaned after each patient use. The memory foam mattress used in consumer households never get sanitized. Dust mites and allergens are invisible to the naked eye but present incredible health issues the average consumer is not aware of. The SAT mattress is designed for easy cleaning and sanitizing. Each component has its own cotton jacket, which is easily removable for washing and is replaceable.
