L&P debuts Superlastic PRO
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, May 11, 2008
Carthage, Mo. — Components giant Leggett & Platt is introducing a high-profile innerspring coil designed to help bedding producers save money on upholstery materials.
Superlastic PRO is a three-turn, seven-inch tall alternating continuous coil innerspring designed to increase the vertical profile of the mattress while reducing the need for traditional foam, fibers and comfort materials, the company said.
By using resilient, compressible steel instead of layers of foam to provide an extra inch of height, Superlastic PRO reduces the manufacturing and components cost for high-profile mattresses, according to L&P.
"We believe that Superlastic PRO provides more value per vertical inch than any non-innerspring sleep surface on the market today," said Tom Wells Jr., director of engineering strategy and technical support for Leggett & Platt.
"We're supporting an emerging trend of using completely new heights of helically laced innersprings in mattresses," said Wells. "Customers want the plush look and comfortable feel of a high-profile mattress, with the Active Support system and the affordable price point they've come to expect from innersprings."
L&P said the product also is more eco-conscious, because Superlastic PRO innersprings are made from 95% recycled steel.
