The Byourbed mission is to provide detailed, honest, and transparent information about bedding.
By successfully reaching our daily mission, Byourbed aims to gain your
trust as the source for "Bedding that feels good. Guaranteed."
Bedding Integrity is comprised of:
1. Dimensions
2. Material
3. Construction
By
you, the consumer, being aware of detailed bedding information, you can
avoid loss of time and frustration from comforters that aren't soft,
toppers that lack support, or blankets that don't engulf you with
coziness. For years, bedding products have seen a reduction in the
quality of materials used, while still being labeled soft and luxurious.
This trend leaves shoppers with material that lacks both longevity and
comfort. You need the kind of material that embraces you the moment you
lay in your bed and won't let you go until the moment you should get up
for work.
Purchasing bedding online requires complete trust.
Byourbed provides trust not just through our policies and hassle free
return system, but through our dedication to provide you the most
detailed, honest, and transparent information about our bedding. Through Comfort Proof® you
can be 100% confident that the bedding material you've chosen is the
bedding material you'll receive. Without Comfort Proof Tested Results,
how do you know if the 400 thread count sheets you purchased aren't
actually 200 thread count? Or if the cotton comforter you bought isn't
polyester? In a quest for lower prices and more sales, there has been an
unfortunate trend toward the misrepresentation of the very bedding you
are seeking to potentially buy. Byourbed takes away purchasing
uncertainty and provides 100% confidence in knowing the bedding material
you purchased is the bedding material you will receive.
Choosing Material (For your Comforter & Sheet Sets):
Cotton:
Cotton
bedding is known for being an anti-pilling, cling free, tough material
that lasts. Bedding products made of cotton are also known to breathe
easier than synthetic alternatives. Having bedding that can "breathe
easier" is helpful in reducing the frequency you'll overheat or sweat
within your bed. The most common bedding myth about cotton is that the
higher the thread count the softer the sheet or comforter. Although
thread count holds some value it is certainly not the determining factor
for your cotton bedding's overall quality and satisfaction. What makes
for the most comfortable cotton bedding is a combination of quality
material and the construction technique used in production.
Byourbed
provides Cotton comforters, sheet sets, and mattress pads with the ideal
combination thread count and construction to provide comfortable
bedding at affordable prices. At some level switching to a higher thread
count or a more expansive manufacturing process only gets you
incrementally smaller and noticeable returns on your investment. Most
importantly a Byourbed cotton product is in fact a 100% cotton product.
With Comfort Proof Tested Results, you have 100% certainty that bedding
listed as 100% cotton is 100% cotton. The practice of altering the
material used in a sheet set to a % of polyester mixed with a % of
cotton only to list the product as 100% cotton should be criminal.
Microfiber:
In
short Microfiber is Polyester, but it's not just a nicer name for
polyester bedding. Microfiber is a better quality way in which polyester
is produced. Whether it be the soft to the touch feel or the way it
looks, there is something about Microfiber that has made it excel as a
leading material within the bedding industry. Microfiber that has the
right weight (measured in GSM) and the right brush technique are often
considered by consumers to be softer than cotton. Microfiber also
provides the added bonus of fewer wrinkles than cotton and for those
that like to sleep warm, Microfiber takes away the sting from getting
into 'cold' bedding. One of the most important facts to know about
Microfiber is that its quality is measured in GSM weight not thread
count. It is impossible for Microfiber bedding to have a thread count.
What's worse is that most bedding manufacturers don't list the GSM
weight of Microfiber because consumers often confuse or mistake the GSM
weight as Thread Count which is not only wrong, it's also detrimental to
the sale of the Microfiber product. It's detrimental because good GSM
weight is anything 85 GSM and above. Since customers think of bedding in
terms of Thread Count, sales would decrease by listing GSM because
although 85 GSM is good quality a customer is prone to thinking 85 is a
very low and when thinking of Thread Count it's a number that wouldn't
be fitting to let your dog sleep on.
Byourbed provides only the best
quality of Microfiber bedding sheets and comforters. The most common GSM
Byourbed offers is between 85-90. Byourbed will never provide GSM less
than 80 GSM. GSM between 70-80 GSM is however very common in retail
stores both online and in stores. The quality of 70-80 GSM is considered
by Byourbed to be substandard as its too thin and doesn't provide a
comfort level suitable enough for Byourbed to offer. You can only
imagine then what Byourbed thinks of GSM lower than 70! Beyond GSM, it's
also important to consider a Microfiber's brush. The way Microfiber
sheets and comforters are brushed play a significant role in how cozy
and soft the Microfiber bedding actually is. Byourbed prefers to offer a
double brushed Microfiber, which is extremely soft to the touch. Unlike
Microfiber's GSM weight which can go through Comfort Proof's Tested
Results, the actual double brushed soft feel is an attribute that
requires your confidence and trust in Byourbed's offering.
Bamboo (Rayon):
When
it comes to bedding, Bamboo is an environmentally friendly leader due
to its ability to grow quickly and without the need for pesticides. The
production process of Bamboo involves breaking down its fibers in a
chemical process in order to create an ultrasoft, silk-like smooth feel.
This process by definition requires Bamboo bedding to also have the
term Rayon attached to it. Whereas Bamboo is the exact material, Rayon
is simply an overarching term that is used when natural based cellulose
of wood pulp or cotton are used to make bedding products or other
products using the same process.
Byourbed provides Bamboo Comforters
and Bamboo sheet sets that give you peace of mind for the environment,
but maybe more importantly give you a more enjoyable night's sleep.
There is something about the Rayon process of Bamboo that makes it silky
soft. When seeking ultra-high quality bedding, Bamboo bedding must
certainly be considered.
Tencel®/Cotton/Linen:
If bedding
materials could get married to create the ultimate union of comfort and
supreme feel of bed comforters and sheets then the combination of
Tencel®, Cotton, and Linen would be a hard combination to beat. Tencel® is
made of the fiber Lyocell which is a natural man-made fiber. Made from
cellulose in wood pulp, which is harvested from tree-farmed trees, the
surface fibers of standard Tencel® are fibrillated to produce a
luxurious, soft-touch fabric with a peachskin surface. Beyond creating
soft, comfortable bedding, Tencel® is also considered to be among the
best for environmental standards. Adding these positive benefits of
Tencel® to Cotton, which is well known for its soft feel and Linen which
is known for its durability and breathability, make for a truly
comfortable, long lasting bedding set that can B Your Bed.
Byourbed
provides a comforter and sheet set that is made from 50% Tencel®, 30%
Cotton, and 20% Linen. This luxury bedding is backed by Comfort Proof Tested Results, which confirms the material you want is the material
you'll receive.
Choosing Bed Toppers (Basic foam vs. Memory Foam vs. Serene Foam vs. Featherbeds):
Byourbed
provides a wide variety of bed toppers. Bed toppers have the power to
transform any basic mattress into a blissful, sink in soft paradise of
comfort. The question is not if a bed topper will enhance your bed's
comfort, but rather which bed topper is best your budget and sleep
preference.
Basic Foam (Polyurethane Foam):
The most
economical of all bed toppers, basic foam provides a durable cushion
layer of support between you and your mattress. For what you gain for
how little the cost is, Basic Foam is a no brainer solution to providing
your mattress with increased comfort without breaking the bank. Basic
Foam is a lot more rigid than Memory or Serene Foam which when touched
doesn't create the "oooh” and “aahh" effect of sink in comfort, but does
provide a more supportive foundation to sleep on. In fact, some people
find the stiffness of Basic Foam to be an advantage and better for
supplying necessary back support. While Basic Foam will never be
described with the “oohhs” and “aahhs” of Memory or Serene Foam, it is
certainly more than capable to get the job done ... that job being
"Comfort Creator". Byourbed Basic Foam Toppers are USA Made.
Memory Foam:
If
Basic Foam gets the job done, then Memory Foam takes it to the next
level. The sink in softness and cushioned support of memory foam can
make you melt with comfort. What makes Memory Foam different from Basic
Foam is the foam's density. The lower the density the more Memory Foam
is similar to that of Basic Foam. The higher the density the more the
Memory Foam has sink in characteristics. Lower density Memory Foam is
less expensive and more durable long term, however there can become a
point in which your more expensive "Memory Foam" is nothing more that
overpriced "Basic Foam". For this reason, Byourbed's Comfort Proof
Tested Results are a vital necessity when purchasing your Memory Foam
bedding topper. Having 100% certainty that what you purchased is what
you'll get is what makes Comfort Proof® your transparent view into the
actual construction of your Memory Foam Topper. Byourbed Memory Foam
Toppers are USA Made.
About Density:
Density measures the
pounds of Memory Foam per cubic foot. When it comes to Memory Foam
density more doesn't mean better. At Byourbed, our standard Memory Foam
Topper density is 2.5 and we even offer a 4" Memory Foam Topper as low
as 1.5 density. Our findings suggest that 2.5 density provides the
optimal combination of sink in softness coupled with necessary back
support. For this reason, all Byourbed Memory Foam Toppers are
constructed at 2.5 Density, except Our 4" Memory Foam Topper with 1.5
density which is available for those that need a little more support
than cushion.
Serene Foam:
The most advanced foam available,
Serene Foam is enhanced with Supportive Air Technology which increases
the support level without decreasing comfort. Imagine having the support
of Basic Foam while also having the sink in softness of Memory Foam.
That's Serene Foam! In the world of bed toppers, it is having your cake
and eating it too!
The Serene Foam Technology dramatically
reduces pressure on common pressure points such as the hips and
shoulders to allow you a quality night's sleep without tossing and
turning. Besides the fact that Serene Foam provides both sink in
softness and support it has two other distinct advantages over other
Foam Topper options. First, Serene Foam reduces motion transfer, which
means when your partner moves during the night, your foam sleeping area
will not be effected. Second, Serene Foam is not temperature sensitive,
so you can also have a cooler night's sleep. Both Basic and Memory Foam
take on its surrounding temperature, which means your 98.5 degree body
can create an overly warm sleeping area. Since Serene Foam is not
temperature sensitive, your warm 98.5 degree body has no effect on how
warm your Serene Foam Topper gets. Byourbed Serene Foam Toppers are USA
Made.
The Test:
Byourbed placed sections of Basic Foam, Memory
Foam and Serene Foam in a freezer and discovered both the Basic and
Memory Foam Toppers became hardened and frozen by the cold. The Serene
Foam however remained unphased by the temperature. This mini test is
helpful to grasp how Serene Foam stays cool and doesn't take on your
body's heat. A distinct advancement and advantage when considering which
Foam Topper to purchase.
Standard Featherbeds:
Although Foam
Toppers have taken over as the "IT" Topper there is still a case to be
made for Featherbeds. Byourbed offers a high quality Baffle Box
constructed Featherbed, which means the feathers won't shift or bunch up
causing a lumpy discomfort. Instead our Featherbeds provide a lasting
support and comfort. Made of high quality natural duck or goose feathers
(select your preferred option) the Byourbed Featherbed creates quite
possibly the best in comfort. Selecting between a Foam Bed Topper and a
Featherbed Topper is not an easy decision. Both topper would enhance the
quality of your sleep, but it boils down to if you want more sink in
cushion or more support. If your body type requires more support, then
we suggest our Featherbed Topper. Byourbed Featherbeds give you the
cushioning you love and support your body craves. Byourbed Standard
Baffle Box Featherbeds are USA Made.
Down-Top Featherbeds:
Just
as the name implies, the Down-Top Featherbed is a Standard Featherbed
with an added top layer of Down. This enhanced featherbed version is
nothing short of impressive. The added layer of Down provides two
distinct advantages. First, it brings even more cushion to a Standard
Featherbed's supportive comfort. Second, it creates a separating layer
between the Featherbed Quills and your body. This second advantage can
be achieved with Standard Featherbeds by placing the Featherbed under
your mattress pad and sheet set, so although it is a positive feature of
the Down-Top Featherbed it is the comfort and feeling of Down that
turns the Standard Featherbed into a heavenly cloud. Byourbed Down-Top
Featherbeds are USA Made.
Fiberbed:
The case for Fiberbeds is
built in its simplicity. For the most sensitive of sleepers, Fiberbeds
can provide a medium level of comfort without any of the frills. Whether
you are allergic to feathers and down or you have a heightened sense of
smell and cannot use foam, the Fiberbed is subtle way to enhance your
bedding to an optimal comfort level. Constructed of a softened polyester
fill, the Fiberbed gives both support and comfort without going
overboard. Although the Fiberbed doesn't attract the PR attention of
Foam or Featherbed Toppers, it is a suitable alternative for individuals
that just want a more comfortable bed without completely altering the
bed and sleep style they are used to. Perfect for the person resistant
to change, yet in need of a more comfortable night's sleep. Byourbed
Fiberbeds are USA Made.
Choosing Pads & Covers (Differences between Encasements and Mattress Pad Options):
Encasements:
The
very first layer of bedding for any bed should be an encasement.
Byourbed offers both box spring and mattress encasements. An encasement
literally encompasses your entire mattress with a zippered enclosure to
create a barrier between your mattress and the outside world. Various
types of encasements are better equipped at preventing dust mites,
allergens, and even bed bugs from taking over your precious sleeping
area. Another advantage to encasements is their ability to expand the
life of your mattress by preventing outside elements from contacting
your mattress. Especially if your mattress is expensive, you'll want to
protect your investment and encasements are an inexpensive way to do
just that. Byourbed offers a wide variety of encasements from low-priced
get the job done type encasements to the highest level of Bed Bug
prevention encasements. Which encasement best suits you is most likely
based on your budget, how expensive or inexpensive your mattress is, and
your living environment (susceptible to dust mites, allergens or bed
bugs).
Mattress Pads:
After securing your mattress and box
spring with an encasement you can opt to then add your bed topper layer
or your mattress pad. Mattress pads are often used as a dual purpose
bedding item. Mattress pads act as an additional barrier between you and
your mattress and they also act as a step down comfort provider from
Fiberbeds. A third usage and top reason Byourbed finds mattress pads to
be a necessity is their ability to be placed over your bed topper. With
your bed topper in place on top of your mattress encasement, the
mattress pad can then be used to firmly keep your bed topper in place.
In essence, the mattress pad locks the bed topper in place, preventing
the topper from shifting and making the bed topper almost feel as if it
is part of your mattress. A bed topper that doesn't shift or require
adjusting is essential to a good night's sleep and proper mattress pad
placement is the unsung hero to your support. Without the mattress pad,
you'll be readjusting your bed topper over time you go to wash your
fitted sheet. What's more is the mattress pad can provide other various
levels of sleep support.
Byourbed Provides Anti-Sweat Mattress
Pads, Athletic Performance Mattress Pads, Extra Thick Mattress Pads, as
well as a wide variety of other mattress pad styles that enhance your
night's sleep through your selection of what construction style best
suits your individual sleeping needs. Byourbed offers many USA Made
Mattress Pads.
Choosing a Pillow (Choosing Your Perfect Pillow):
Pillows:
Finding
the perfect pillow for your sleep comfort is more about knowing what
you like and don't like. Byourbed only offers high quality pillows
because a bad pillow can 100% negate a good night's sleep regardless of
how much you invested in all your other bedding supplies. Since you know
all Byourbed pillows are of the best quality you can then make your
selection based on your budget, however you must first ask yourself a
series of questions.
Do I prefer foam or traditional fill
pillows? Am I a side side sleeper, back sleeper or stomach sleeper? Do I
like my pillow firm, medium, or do I want to sink in? Would I like the
luxury of a down pillow?
If you can answer these questions or some of
these questions, you can begin to discover your perfect pillow and the
closer you get to your perfect pillow, the closer you get to your
perfect night's sleep.
Pillow Selection Tip:
A good idea when
outfitting your bed is to purchase 3-4 different types of pillows with
the intent that what you don't select as your optimal pillow you will
use as a guest pillow or as a pillow within your bedding's decorative
sham. By doing this idea you can try each pillow for 1 week and after
3-4 weeks (without guilt) select your perfect pillow for your bed while
using the non-chosen pillows for your sham or visiting guests. Byourbed
Pillows are USA Made.
Choosing a Bed Blanket (Plush is King):
Bed Blankets:
The
King of COZY is the right plush bed blanket. Sized correctly to tuck
into you bed, Byourbed's bed blankets find a way to make a comfortable
bed and turn it into a bed that prevents you from going to work.
Byourbed only uses the very best in quality coral fleece and plush
materials to make our bed blankets. At Byourbed, we also offer a budget
friendly fleece (warm, but not soft) and high end down blankets that
create a silky comfort, but it's the high quality plush that gets
customers talking. Some of our comfort based trademarked bed blanket
names include: Me Sooo Comfy®, Are You Kidding®, and My Blanket is Softer
than Yours®, with each blanket seemingly outdoing the other when it comes
to a softness that will be fought over by you and your partner.
