Help with Mattress search in OKC

[phoenix]

Hi Bekind,

What I find most interesting is none of them talk about the type of foam, gel, poly or latex, nor do they talk about the quality nor density of the layers. They list items such as AirCool Foam, Tru Temp Gel, AirCool Memory Foam, Edge foam encasement, Cool twist technology, 1/2 inch, 2 inch, but no information as listed on your website in regards to Latex foam, Poly, Microcoils, quality or density.

Sadly … your experience is not that unusual and most of the members here who have spent an hour or two reading the tutorial post know more meaningful information about mattresses than most of the salespeople in the mainstream industry. Most mainstream stores are much more focused on the “stories” they’ve learned and marketing than they are on educating their customers.

I also ran across Consumer’s Report March 2014 article listing their top choice mattresses tested, Serta iSeries Applause, Simmons Beauty Rest Palasides, Costco’s Novafoam, etc. I even went out and joined Sam’s Club to purchase CR’s highly rated iSeries Applause but found the $1700 price tag stopped me in my tracks. CR stated the cost was around $1000 at the time of testing so I assume their ratings drove the price up. in regards to Novafoam we don’t have Costco store in town

I don’t normally put things quite so “bluntly” (I try to be a little more diplomatic most of the time) … but the consumers report mattress buying guide is really a joke and very misleading for many reasons … there is just no other word for it. It was clearly written by people who have little understanding of mattresses or mattress materials or the industry as a whole.

Therefore I would like to know if you can steer me in a better direction so that I may find a retailer located in the OKC-Edmond Oklahoma area.

The better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Oklahoma City area are listed in post #2 here and includes one of the members of this site which I think very highly of and compete well with the best in the industry. They are probably the first place (and quite possibly the last place) I would visit.
