Comfort Mattress

Most of the time it is hard to choose the right comfort mattress for yourself when you go and search for it online. There is only one simple reason for that; you can’t test by landing yourself on the mattress itself and check the comfort level. Usually people will go to the mattress store or mattress factory and try the mattress there. Taking about ten to fifteen minutes, that period should be enough to decide whether the comfort mattress is suitable for you. Again as I have mentioned in my previous post on Bed Mattress, it depends on what are your needs and which material you feel comfortable with.

Have you ever wondered why some mattress companies offered a trade-in of your old mattress for new one? Is your old mattress has a value? No. Old mattresses have no value whatsoever. The law forbids used mattresses from being resold or reconditioned for resale by anyone. So whenever you hear someone telling you that you can trade-in your old mattress for a brand new one, you should know that that is just one of under-handed tactics used by some mattress factories to deceive you to buy their comfort mattresses.

Another tactics that is quite sneaky is whenever you heard about one-sided mattress. Some people call it no-flip mattress but whichever term is used, they all refer to one same thing; a mattress that can’t be turned to the other side. This type of mattress is cheaper in price since it was designed to only have all the capabilities that a standard mattress has except for one; they can’t be turned to the other side since the other side is no good at all. In my opinion and from the experiences of some people, these type of mattresses could not last as long as the normal two-sided comfort mattress. It’s OK to use them but keep in mind that they won’t last longer like the normal comfort mattress. And if someone approach you and offer these kind of mattresses, make sure you are well-informed about it so you won’t feel cheated in the future.

Do you really care about the benefits of using the best made comfort mattress? You should because comfort mattress these days is made for two basic purposes; help to reduce backache and help you to sleep better. Comfort mattress should be selected with care. No single type of comfort mattress is best for your back. Don’t take words from the sales rep though they keep on using the same words like back care and stuff. None of the comfort mattresses is good for you unless any one of them match your requirements.

What I’m trying to say here is when you hear things like orthopedic mattress or “ortho” mattress, don’t be too sure about that and don’t simply trust the sales rep. They want the best of income for that particular month and perhaps that so-called orthopedic mattress is just the one that they need to sell to you to achieve the highest income ever in that year. Therefore take some time to try several mattresses first before buying. No one should stop you unless you are wearing wet garments or dirty shirts. And another thing that you should keep in mind is a firm mattress does not necessarily means that it is better or more comfort.

Now why I said that it is best to compare as many mattresses as possible? Is it about the comfort level of the mattress? Or is it about the price of the mattress? Well, actually there are just so many misleading claims out there about comfort plushy mattress. A plushy mattress you found at a mattress store might not be that plushy when you go to another store where you might find a mattress that is not at easy-to-see location or eye-level location. There are just so many ways to mislead anybody and everybody when it comes to selling. As a human, we have so many weaknesses that are manipulated by marketers to ensure that we BUY what they WANT to sell.

An orthopedic mattress means nothing to us unless someone explain to us what does it do to our body. Even after someone told us about it, we still don’t really care. What we want is an assurance from someone that the product is good for us. That’s how the game is played. Don’t blame the mattress seller, the power of influencing others are the main reason why we buy things and use things in this life. Unfortunately, since we have got ourselves used to it for many years, it is hard not to put at least some trust whenever someone said something about something.

For example, a sales rep (again, I just love that Hillary Fisher look-alike rep) welcomes you to the mattress store and handed over a catalogue full of pictures of mattresses that the store is selling. There will be few pages; perhaps the front page is showing mattresses on sale and the second page presents list of new mattresses. She will keep an eye on your reaction to the catalog. If you just browse through the pages, she will try first by informing you that the store is currently on sale and you can find discounted mattresses at south wing of the store.

If you don’t show much interest on that information, she will keep herself silent for a while until she detected that you are spending time a bit on the Sealy mattress. From there on it is all up to her to “assist” you to make better decision.

The sales representative might also have studied the customers and their habits. If those who came are elders, she might be showing the orthopedic mattress despite showing the plushy mattress. Why? Because she could tell the elderly couple about the benefits of the orthopedic mattress if used by older people. The possibility to strike a deal is significantly higher for her if she approach it that way.

Alright, let’s get back to our discussion. If you read almost all mattress reviews available online, you might be able to get the best deal of all. Don’t just read review on one site and make judgment on that. Hop on to other sites and get more review on mattress particularly the one that you already have in mind. For instance, if you have set your eyes on the simmons plushy comfort mattress, find as many review as possible about it. Check the ratings including the sellers’ ratings as well as customers’ ratings.

Most people say that simmons mattresses are good. They are equally excellent in comfort level as well as its efficiency in maintaining our body posture. Some of the simmons mattresses are higher in price compared to other mattresses from other manufacturers but based on what you can get from the mattress, I don’t see that as a bad investment. Of course, you don’t always get what you pay for, but as far as simmons is concerned, I have never heard too much complaints about it.

Are you getting confused already? Don’t be. I’m trying to open your mind so you could at least think carefully when buying a comfort mattress. A luxury one does not necessarily better in quality and the cheaper one does not necessarily that cheap, if you know what I mean.

Before I end today’s discussion, let’s take a look at one of the comfort mattresses I found on the net.

It’s called Serta Sertapedic Gavin Cushion Comfort Mattress. The price is quite reasonable where at $431 you can get a full size comfort mattress. Furthermore, you will get up to 15% off plus free Serta bed sheets. The serta comfort mattress is made from layers of plushy plush foam, fireblocker, temperature control pillo-fill fiber, firm foam topper, and also coil system.

The plush foam of course is used in designing this serta comfort mattress to add additional plushness feel to the surface of the mattress. Wait, I know you wanted to know so much what does it mean by fireblocker. The “fireblocker” system is an advanced fiber system located among the outer layers of the comfort mattress and box spring. It helps to isolate the impact of a fire (ok, I got it!) and blocks its spread into the comfort mattress. Serta claimed that their mattresses that are installed with this fireblocker layer exceed existing state and federal residential open-flame resistance standards.

The firm foam layer is self-explanatory where it adds additional firmness feel to the surface of the comfort mattress from Serta. Remember, a firm comfort mattress does not necessarily it is a better bed. For the full size comfort mattress, there will be 336 coils which are using the Bonnell Coil System.

This comfort mattress, however, is one of the one-sided mattresses I have spoken about just now. This is due to the fact that the coil layer is layered at the bottom of the mattress. In other words you can’t flip this mattress. Don’t worry though, there is 5-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects (first year non-prorated).

I guess that’s all for now. I don’t know why I always want to remind you this message but I believe it is crucial to keep it mind at all time; nothing is free in this world. Don’t be deceived by free financing or free delivery claims. To some extent, don’t even believe when they offer you free bed sheets or free ten comfort pillows. Your mission is the mattress. Get the right comfort mattress first before you take the side offers into consideration.
