@SD ~ Jeff (Mattress To Go) does not carry Ashby in his shop nor does he list it anywhere on his site for the same reasons as the ones mentioned to BackPain100 below.
Hi BackPain100.
• Therapedic is a mattress brand licensing group sold through independent regional mattress manufacturing companies.
• Each licensee can design, make and sell models of mattresses that are unique to their company under the Therapedic trade brand name.
• Ashby is likely one of these models, made by the Therapedic licensee in Tampa, FL and sold at Famous Tate.
Queen mattress in the price range of $499.98; $599.98 with wood foundation using pocketed coils such as this are typically promotional mattress. While they advertise Ashby as having a layer of HD polyfoam, they don’t list the layer thickness and the ILD which would allow you to make meaningful value/quality comparisons. If the layer is 1.5lbs, which is the minimum density of a foam with an HD claim, then this most likely will soften in a short period of time and will compress after a few years. (HD density foams range between 1.5 to 2.4 lbs/ft[sup]3[/sup]) The minimum I’d recommend for a one side mattress for normal BMI ranges for layers thicker than 1.5" would be 1.8 lbs foam that would be a better guideline and generally would be considered to be the bottom end of high-quality polyfoam.) As usual, for any mattress that you are considering you’d want to find out the information listed here[url] so you can compare the quality of the materials and components to the [url=https://mattressunderground.com/our-articles/mattress-durability-guidelines-how-long-will-a-mattress-last.html]durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.
When a lower budget is a limiting factor as part of one’s personal value equation it usually comes with some tradeoffs in terms of quality. A promotional mattress is made with components that are less expensive, therefore lower quality. If the mattress meets the customer’s PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) I’d expect to have 1 to 5 years of useful life out of it depending on the BMI of the consumer. People with higher BMIs can expect less life cycle as they generally require higher quality and more durable materials and components. Typically body impressions under 1.5" are not usually covered by a warranty claim. A 1.5" depression is considered a “standard” within the innerspring industry for a warrantable defect, but there is no measurement for loss of comfort. If you decide to purchase the mattress I’d make sure to keep the receipt and not remove the law tag labels.
Hopefully, the information in this reply will help with your decision and I’d make sure to run everything by all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for).
Let us know if you have further questions … and I or any of the Expert members of the site would be happy to help.
