Narvik (Scott Jordan) / Sonata (Berkeley Ergonomics)?

[phoenix]

Hi mikenyc,

While we are almost ready to purchase the Norvik with the “softer” option at Scott Jordan, there is a 30% restocking fee (~$3300 purchase price = ~$990 restocking fee on this mattress) so the economic consequence of being wrong is unfortunately very high. Is there another seller for the Berkeley Ergonomics tri-coil that has a more favorable restocking policy?

I don’t keep track of the return/exchange options of the hundreds of retailers or manufacturers that are members here or that are mentioned in the forum but there is a list of Berkeley Ergonomics dealers in post #12 here that you could check their websites or call them to find out about their return/exchange policies.

There is more information in the first part of post #2 here about some of the different ways that can be used to accommodate a couple that have very different body types or sleeping styles or that for other reasons have different needs and preferences in a mattress. Not surprisingly since he is very knowledgeable about mattresses and mattress designs (including the BE mattresses) … I would certainly agree with Daniels comments and there are many mattresses that have a design that is suitable for a couple with different body types and sleeping styles where each half of a couple will sink into the mattress to different depths and are supported by different layers and components in the mattress.

We are going to return to the store to re-test the mattress. Is there a more objective measure that we can perform while we are in the store?

The most reliable way to assess whether a mattress is a good “match” for both of you will be based on your own careful testing.
