Hi Victoriana,
Welcome to our forum:)!
Thank you for your appreciation. TMU tries to provide as much insight and knowledge so that any consumers can make an informed decision, but of course … the proof is in the doing.
As for reviews or other people’s experiences in general, I am the first one to cheer up consumers who come to their own informed conclusions about the “usefulness” of the review sites and refuse to consider them as any sort of a reliable indicator of appropriateness. I certainly understand your frustration with the many “review” sites that are in fact “revenue” sites, and it’s not limited to any one specific brand. A big part of the underlying problem with these types of marketing systems is that consumers in general put too much trust in mattress reviews in the first place (either positive or negative) in the mistaken belief that they are a good way to assess whether a mattress would be a suitable or a durable choice for them so they end up choosing a mattress for all the wrong reasons based on other people’s experiences and reviews or on the “deal” they think they are getting instead of legitimate “fact-based” research that would be relevant to their own unique needs, preferences, and criteria. Reviews won’t tell you much if anything about the suitability, quality, durability, or “value” of a mattress for any particular person (see post #13 here ),
I am glad you “fell in love” with a Nest mattress and that it is a good match for you. Please make sure to mention to the sale rep “The Mattress Underground” 150 off discount and they will promptly honor it. If you purchase it directly online you can enter the discount code UNDERGROUND150 at checkout. As you already know NestBedding are one of the manufacturing Trusted Members of this site and like all the members here I think very highly of and consider them to compete well with “the best” in the industry. They are very knowledgeable and very skilled in guiding their customers to make the best possible choices out of the many options they have available.
You certainly made a great quality/value choice and I’m looking forward to your comments and feedback when you receive it and have had the chance to try it out.
