FloBeds, Fort Bragg, Calif., has announced what it calls the nation's first "for women only" mattress.
Yes, men can sleep on it, too, company officials said. Stackable latex layers can be configured separately for two sides of a bed to suit the firmness favored by men, as well as women.
"It's a mattress that comfortably and intuitively recognizes the difference between straight lines and curves," said FloBeds Founder Dave Turner. "All things being equal, a woman usually needs a softer mattress. ... A softer mattress conforms better to the contour of her hips."
He said most customers use the company's www.hermattress.com site to order their mattresses, and all beds come with a 90-night guarantee. FloBeds mattresses are constructed from natural materials like latex from rubber trees.
