NAUTILUS SLEEP SYSTEMS
In December 1999, we began marketing a line of premium air sleep systems, which we have named the "Nautilus Sleep Systems." The key
feature of each Nautilus Sleep System is its variable firmness support chamber, an air chamber within each air sleep system that can be
electronically adjusted to regulate firmness. All queen and larger sleep systems in our Signature, Premier and Ultimate Series are equipped with
dual air chambers that enable users to maintain different firmness settings on each side of the bed. We believe that variable firmness and other
comfort-oriented features of our Nautilus Sleep Systems favorably differentiate them from conventional innerspring mattresses.
We currently offer four models of our Nautilus Sleep System:
o The Ultimate Series is our top-of-the-line Nautilus Sleep System. It features dual patent-pending, interlocking variable support chambers that
permit users to maintain separate firmness settings on each side of the sleep system. The interlocking chambers regulate airflow and pressure to
more effectively maintain support when a user changes position. The Ultimate Series comes with removable wool blend and silk blend pillow
top sleeping surfaces, which permits users to easily convert to a "tight top" surface when they desire extra firmness. The Ultimate Series also
has an upgraded comfort layer of visco-elastic foam that conforms to a user's body. The Ultimate Series is available in seven sizes and currently
ranges in price from $1,399.99 for a twin to $1,999.99 for a California king, excluding foundation.
o The Premier Series features dual patent-pending, interlocking variable support chambers that permit users to maintain separate firmness
settings on each side of the sleep system. The interlocking chambers regulate airflow and pressure to more effectively maintain support when a
user changes position. The Premier Series comes with a removable wool blend pillow top sleeping surface, which permits users to easily
convert to a "tight top" surface when they desire extra firmness. The Premier Series is available in seven sizes and currently ranges in price
from $799.99 for a twin to $1,399.99 for a California king, excluding foundation.
o The Signature Series is designed to appeal to consumers who desire the flexibility of dual variable firmness support chambers, but at a more
affordable price. Our customers can choose between a tight top or pillow-top sleeping surface over a one and one-half inch convoluted foam
comfort layer. The Signature Series is available in seven sizes and currently ranges in price from $499.99 for a twin to $1,099.99 for a
California king, excluding foundation.
o The Basic Series is our entry-level Nautilus Sleep System, which features a single, head-to-toe variable firmness support chamber and a
traditional tight-top sleeping surface over a one and one-half inch thick convoluted foam comfort layer. The Basic Series is available in five
sizes and currently ranges in price from $349.99 for a twin to $799.99 for a California king, excluding foundation.
We offer foundations that are specifically designed to support and enhance the performance of our Nautilus Sleep Systems. We advise
consumers to use our foundations because conventional box springs tend to sag and wear over time, causing a sleep system to eventually mirror
the worn box
