Pillows may yet become a thing of the past as Leggett & Platt unveils the Softech coil sleep system. They are 2½ innersprings placed in upper mattresses, promising to provide better comfort and cushioning for people who look for that good feel before they lie on the bed.

We have all been accustomed to using pillows for added comfort to lull us to sleep. But the question of the right one to get often comes into mind. But with this new technology, something better than the comfort of pillows may yet resolve the sleep issues we have, something that should be worth the purchase.

“Softech takes advantage of the comfort-inducing effects of coiled steel as a compressible, responsive element,” explained Tom Wells, Jr., director of engineering strategy and technical support for Leggett & Platt. “The coils have a smaller diameter and a lighter gauge than standard innerspring wires. Using approximately 5 ½ turns per coil, we’re able to increase material efficiency in a vertical, flexible dimension.”
