Came across this stress test on the Dreamland mattress brand where they abuses the mattress by sitting on it, pressing down hard on it, and jumping on it. Essentially, they’re just testing how the mattress reacts to different kind of pressure.
What intrigues me about this kind of test is that it’s a rough way of testing out the quality of the foam without using any lab equipment. For example, the sit test checks the edge support of the mattress (many budget mattresses fails this test), the press test tells you how quickly the mattress returns to its original state after being compressed (indicating the density of the mattress), and the jump test essentially shows how the mattress will react to the sleeping population on it (those who jump or turns every few minutes). If the mattress dent when you press on it, it’s likely memory foam or very low density foam. Good quality foam will return to its original state almost immediate.
Has anybody else played around with a Dreamland mattress or performed these tests on the mattresses that you owns at home? How does it compare to others in its price range? For example, does it have good edge support so that you don’t roll off the mattress when you are sleeping on one side, which is usually the test that indicates a mattress has decent build quality?
