8" 1565 EXTRA FIRM

The A-Z 1565 Extra Firm is an all-foam mattress cut from A-Z Foam's 1565 grade, an extra-firm polyurethane foam, in 5, 8 and 10-inch thicknesses, made in Delta, BC. It is the bed for people who want hard, flat and springless: platform beds, RVs, antique frames, and anyone who has given up on coils sagging.

Who the A-Z 8-inch 1565 EXTRA FIRM suits

The A-Z 8-inch 1565 EXTRA FIRM is a good fit for stomach sleepers and back sleepers who want a hard surface, people replacing a worn coil bed with something that cannot sag, RV and boat beds, antique and odd-size frames. Side sleepers usually find extra-firm foam too hard on the shoulder; the 2040 Sleep EZ with its gel memory foam top is the softer answer.

How the A-Z 8-inch 1565 EXTRA FIRM compares

The 2040 Sleep EZ is the same maker's softer foam with an inch of gel memory foam on top and a quilted cover. The 5-inch 1565 is the thin version for bunks and trailers; the 10-inch is the deepest. For a coil bed that is also firm, the Rockwell Resort.
