Habitat Furnishings

We admit it, our sleep lab and showroom always looks like a mad scientist’s underground lair. We’ve got hundreds of pieces of foam, quilted materials, dozens of pumps, hoses, and more remote controls than a teenager’s media room. We invent and re-invent dozens of configurations every month, and we even enlist customers who already have our Air Beds to try out new variations on their beds. And for that, they get a little bit of press from us, and some pillows! One of our customer recently asked us,”Can you guys build an Air Bed that automatically adjusts..without having to use a remote?” We replied, more or less, “Are you kidding?” You have to have a remote…how could you “drive the bed” without one? Well, as usual, we scratched our chins, and started sketching. This was six months ago, and I am ASTONISHED to tell you that we actually have a working production model of our top secret Aeroform Resistance Response Air Bed System in development. Highly classified, we can only tell you that we’re not likely to have a robust model in our online store for about 3 months, but it is truly a marvel of sleep engineering and so simplistic, and so cost effectively designed, that the pricepoint will be…well, we can’t tell you more..What we can tell you is that the Aeroform Air Bed System will respond instantly to body movements using resistance technology, with no pump system, and no remote controls. We realize that many Arise and Ascend Bed customers, who wouldn’t give up their remotes if you tried to pry them off their sleeping bodies, will consider this apalling, but many folks want an Air Bed, but want it to be an “autopilot” kind of bed…and that’s what we’re doing. At Habitat, we’re always thinking..tinkering, and scratching our chins…and we think we’re on to something extraordinarily comfortable, built using the same high quality control standards and with the same unbeatable factory warranty and trial period that we use in every bed we engineer. More to come! Send your emails if this intrigues you..to habitatsales@aol.com

Our Ascend and Arise Air Bed systems both offer a state of the art, hard wired digital readout remote, along with our medical grade pump unit, built by American National Manufacturing, an established bedding company which has designed and built intensive care unit beds, burn unit beds, and OSHA rated air bed systems for years. The remotes are easy to read, and operate. Many customers comment that they enjoy the large digital readout display, but have  a little trouble with programming the remotes with the memory setting…here’s a quick tutorial: First, when you get your bed assembled, fill the air chambers completely full, until the air pump stops filling. Don’t worry, you can’t bust an air chamber, since the pump has a limiting feature, or governor, which only allows the pump to fill to a pre-determined pressure, then stopping. Once you are lying quietly on the bed, hit the “soft” button on the remote, and allow air to escape until the bed reaches your desired level of comfort. Then, press and hold the memory button (there are 2 buttons, allowing for 2 different settings) for 10 seconds. This locks in that pressure setting as your memory setting..at any time, you can get back in bed and hit the memory button and the pump will atuomatically fill or empty to reach the pre-determined setting. It’s that easy!

Recently we launched our Habitat Ascend Air Bed System, which features a 2″ Natural Latex, and customers have loved the extraordinarily plush and cushier feel. We also incorporate the same 2″ layer of high quality memory foam in the Ascend model as well, to make sure the bed is highly functional at relieving pressure points as well as providing good weight distribution. Since it is a little higher price wise than our previous models, we’ve received a lot of feedback from folks who wish we had a less expensive, more simplistically designed model that was within their grasp, perhaps in the $1400 range for a queen, versus the $1899 Queen Ascend pricepoint. Our original Habitat Air Bed offered a memory foam layer and a layer of convoluted high density foam, but didn’t have the natural latex layer (the layer that provides the “plusher” feel of the Ascend bed). We are currently developing a more basic model, called the Arise Air Bed System, that will be in the $1400-1500 price range in a queen, with the same basic “chassis” that we use in our Ascend bed, our fabric backed vulcanized rubber air chambers, hardwired digital remote system, premium side rail design, our wonderful Hollofil quilted top which will not pack down over long term use, and our high quality memory foam layer. It will also include a softer High Density foam layer to offer some “cush” factor to the bed, without the higher cost of our natural latex layer. Look for this more conservatively priced bed to appear on our website around April 1 or so. We’re excited about offering a more diverse line of Air Beds on our site so that we can meet the needs of our highly discerning customer base. But building a great Air Bed takes a lot of chin scratching and research! Look for our Habitat Arise Air Bed to appear soon, with  great in depth videos to help you visualize our latest innovation.

Thanks to our many customers who have called and emailed us about our brand new Ascend Air Bed System, which we’re almost ready to present on our Air Bed page. It’s amazing to us how electric the response to this product has been. We’re so excited about it, that we can’t wait to begin shipping! Many people have asked about the cost, and, after days sharpening our pencils, we can tell you that the special introductory price will be $1899 for the Queen system, and $2299 for a King system. This will include the complete Ascend Air Bed System, with pump and digital remotes, free shipping, no sales tax (if you don’t live in Louisiana), and our free mattress protector, as always. It’s astonishing that this bed will be almost half the cost of the leading brand’s top of the line bed, which contains NO natural latex, the magic ingredient which will provide the “wow factor” you’ll get when you lie on this mattress. Keep a close eye on our site, as we are in the final stages with our Ascend videos and expect to have them on the site soon. We are gearing up in our assembly and shipping facility, and we just received our shipment of Natural Latex material to incorporate into our new model. Thanks for the interest!

Always advancing and improving our products has been one of our mission statements since we started in specialty bedding in 1994. Our customers have provided a tremendous amount of input into the enhancement of our beds, and since most of them have had a lot of experience with bedding that just is not comfortable, we learned to listen early on. Our Habitat Air Bed System has been a phenomenal success, as has our Natural Latex Mattress program, and with many of our customers becoming much more focused on the amazing comfort qualities of Natural Latex, people began asking….”Why don’t you have a latex layer in your Air Bed?”. Because our latex mattress program has been such a stratospheric success, we took that advice to heart. For the last 2 months, we have been developing our Brand New, Habitat Ascend Air Bed System. The only fundamental difference between our current Habitat Air Bed and the Ascend Air Bed is the addition of a 2″ layer of natural latex material, right below our 2″ layer of visco-elastic memory foam. We were astonished at what an incredible difference just a 2″ layer of latex could make in the comfort and appeal of the bed. Creating a wonderfully responsive, even more “cushier”, livelier, and more buoyant, supportive sensation was what were hoping would happen, but there is something more mysterious about how amazingly comfortable the Ascend Air Bed truly is. I feel as if I am floating, with even more effective pressure point reduction. I feel like I weigh less, which is a weird sensation at first, but believe me, you get used to it fast. We expect to have the Ascend Air Bed System in our online store by March 15, and anticipate rave reviews from our highly discerning customers! Get ready, it’s like having a Spa in your bedroom!!

When we introduced our Habitat Air Bed System, we thought we had designed the ultimate floatation bed, a bed that was a distillation of our 15 years of collective experience about all of the ingredients that went into the bed. We wanted to build an Air Bed better than even the leading brand, and we didn’t want to skimp on any of the materials. At first, we thought it would end up being way out of whack price wise, but after 2 years of chin scratching and field testing out ourselves and with our pretty picky “bed testers”, we were amazed at what we had created. What we finally produced was an astonishingly comfortable air bed system, with the best materials built in to the mattress, everything from the vulcanized fabric backed rubber air bladders, to a great piece of memory foam, a solidly built pump, and more. Best of all, it was FAR less expensive to produce than we thought, and we ended up being able to offer it up at a fair price, much less than the comparable leading brand model, and even less than their middle of the road model. But what is it about the bed that makes it unique? Why would you buy one?

Without question, the adjustability feature is the single most common reason folks look hard at our bed, beyond the price issue. The range of support, from soft to firm, and with the weight distribution and pressure point qualities of our memory foam (we use a 3.5 lb density vs. a cheaper grade like the leading brand uses), to the ergonomically friendly hard wired remotes, all add up to great value, and a well thought out bed. You can try it our too, for 180 days, risk free, that’s how sure we are you’ll love it. Read the reviews on our Air Bed page and get some real third party, uninfluenced opinions about what people think about our Air Bed. We have sold hundreds of Air Beds, and we have built a solid customer base that refer friends and relatives  to our site, after trying out beds in their own homes. It’s almost like a little “grassroots” movement that has taken on a life of its own, and we’re really proud of that.
