Hi alituran,
I wish I could invite you to my place so you could come and try my mattress yourself. I don't know much about mattresses and what goes inside them so I am forced to go by feel rather than specs.
There would be no reason to so this because a mattress that is "perfect" for me may be completely unsuitable for someone else to sleep on (or vice versa). Each person can have very different needs and preferences in a mattress.
Also I never mentioned that a higher priced mattress is a rip off. A higher priced mattress can indeed be an amazing mattress but im not sure what higher priced means for you because higher priced for me is anything between 1000-1500 dollars. please will you go to sleep country and have a look at some of their prices? My wife and I saw a mattress there for over $2500 and apparently it was 30% off haha. I'm sorry Phoenix but you simply cannot explain that to me. Oh an by the way that was a queen so I can only imagine what the king for that one would have been.
There isn't a "formula" that can be used to assess or "calculate" the value of a mattress because there are so many different variables and criteria involved that can affect the "value" of a mattress that can each be more or less important to some people and not to others who may have completely different criteria or definitions of "value". The "value" of a mattress purchase is also relative to how a mattress compares to the other finalists you are considering or to other mattresses that are available to you in your area (or online if you are also considering online options). There are many reasons that a mattress that may be "good value" for one person or in one area of the country may not be good value for someone else that has very different needs and preferences or that lives in a different area.
There is more about the 3 most important parts of the "value" of a mattress purchase in
post #13 here
which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your
personal value equation
that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn't turn out as well as you hoped for).
If you have read the tutorial you would know that there would be no point to going into Sleep Country because there are the types of stores that I generally suggest avoiding for many reasons including that they don't sell good quality/value mattresses (see the
guidelines here
).
You can also see some very general comments about mattresses in different budget ranges in
this article
.
Finally, you mentioned that I may have a relationship with sleep masters Canada or Dreamstar. I hadn't even heard of sleep masters or Dreamstar before I purchased my mattress. However, I definitely will recommend them to any of my friends and family that need a new mattress because the simple fact is that I was served extremely well and my mattress feels very good on my back. I've had this mattress for almost a month now and I have zero complaints.
The first part of your email is very uncommon but it is the same as the twitter username for the founder and CEO of Dreamstar mattress so given the content of your posts it's hard to believe that you aren't the same person or at least that you don't have a relationship with them
You have also posted about the same companies at other websites as well (although some of them have been deleted because they don't "meet their review criteria") and your posts there were more than a year ago.
As the moderator of the forum when I am in doubt I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to advertising or promotion (and regardless of whether you have a relationship with them your posts are too "promotional") and since you have had the chance to mention them several times there would be no reason for you to post about them again and any further posts about the same companies will be deleted.
