Hi Chapps,
While it’s great to hear that you made a good quality/value choice (assuming that you aren’t in a higher than average weight range) … I would be very cautious about providing this type of very questionable advice to others.
While other people’s comments or reviews about the knowledge, service, and guidance of a particular business can certainly be helpful … I would avoid using other people’s experiences or reviews on a mattress (either positive or negative) or “so called” review sites in general as a reliable source of information or guidance about how you will feel on the same mattress or how suitable or how durable a mattress may be for you and in many if not most cases they can be more misleading than helpful because a mattress that would be a perfect choice for one person or even a larger group of people may be completely unsuitable for someone else to sleep on (see post #13 here).
You can also see some comments about these types of sites (such as Sleepopolis) in general in post #1 here in the simplified choice topic (and the video here it also links to) and they are nothing more than revenue sites that in most cases have little to no experience in the industry, have very little knowledge about mattress materials or mattresses in general, and are only in existence to earn the revenue that has become available as a result of the “new breed” of simplified choice online mattresses that are entering the market.
There isn’t much difference between going into a chain store and buying a mattress based on the “recommendation” of a salesperson that is just out of high school, knows very little meaningful information about mattress or mattress materials, and is just repeating the “sales and marketing information” they have learned (most of which is meaningless) for the sake of making their commissions and the many so called “professional review sites” that are little more than an online version of the same thing.
As I mentioned … I’m certainly glad that you purchased a good quality/value mattress (again assuming that you aren’t in a higher weight range) but I would ask you to avoid providing this type of advice to others that is questionable at best and is also against the rules of the forum as well.
