How to look for and find the best mattress ... for YOU! ***READ FIRST***

[phoenix]

Hi BJ,

I gotta say this, - this truly is the most confusing, hard to follow, look here and look there, then check here, and be sure to go there; forum I have seen in my life! I read so much I felt ill. Trying to cypher it all out just made it worse. I know all you people put in countless hours of research, footwork, time, effort, and then to sit down and put it all to words; is well; unreal! And I congratulate each and every one of you for this loyalty to whom ever or/ and your cause.

But…like I stated, this is by far the most confusing site I’ve ever run into. With that being said, I’m going to leave this really great site, because quit frankly I do not have the time or patience to go through every thing there is to go through!

In its simplest form … choosing the “best possible” mattress for any particular person really comes down to first finding a few knowledgeable and transparent retailers and/or manufacturers that sell the types of mattresses that you are most interested in and that you have confirmed will provide you with the all the information you need about the materials and components inside the mattresses they sell so you will be able to make informed choices and meaningful comparisons between mattresses and then …

1. Careful testing (hopefully using the testing guidelines in the tutorial) to make sure that a mattress is a good match for you in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP … and/or that you are comfortable with the options you have available to return, exchange, or “fine tune” the mattress and any costs involved if you can’t test a mattress in person or aren’t confident that your mattress is a suitable choice.

2. Checking to make sure that there are no lower quality materials or weak links in the mattress relative to your weight range that could compromise the durability and useful life of the mattress.

3. Comparing your finalists for “value” based on #1 and #2 and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.

Hope that’s simple enough for you

Good luck in your search.
