New Member Question: Are Christeli Matresses Good?

Hi Premalata,

I’m not sure which mattress you mean (they have two with latex) but a forum search on Christeli Lux Estate or on Palais Grand Royale (you can just click these) will bring up more information and feedback about both of them. Both of these mattresses use the Tempurpedic Grandbed as a reference point. A forum search on Christeli will also bring up more posts with general information about them and some of their other mattresses as well.

[quote]They have two that are supposed to be like the TP Luxe Breeze.

The Briella and the Lux Estate. I really like the TP, but alas, to expensive.[/quote]

The Briella uses the TP Cloud Luxe for a reference point and the Lux Estate uses the TP Grandbed (not the Cloud Luxe). There are also many different ways that one mattress can “match” another one and a mattress may be a good match in one way or several ways but not another that may be important to you. There is more about the different ways that one mattress can “match” or “be like” another one in post #9 here.

This really depends on what you mean by good because there can be several answers to this for the same mattress.

If a mattress is suitable for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) then from a suitability point of view it would be a “good” mattress. No matter what the cost or quality of a mattress … if it’s not a good match for you in terms of PPP and you don’t sleep well on it then it would have little value to you. The only way to know this for certain is with careful and objective testing on the mattress or a mattress that is very similar in the ways that are important to you or if you can’t test it first then when you actually sleep on it.

The second way to define “good” is the quality/durability of the materials. You can’t “feel” the quality of the materials in a mattress when you test it or sleep on it because low quality less durable materials can feel the same as high quality more durable materials … they just don’t last as long. If you buy a mattress that is perfect at first but loses its comfort or support because it uses lower quality materials that will soften, compress, or break down too quickly relative to the price you paid then it would also have little value to you. The loss of comfort and support is the reason that most people will need to buy a new mattress and since this isn’t considered to be a defect in the mattress … it isn’t covered by any warranty. This is why it’s so important to know the quality of all the layers and components in any mattress you are considering so you can compare them to the guidelines in post #4 here and make more meaningful comparisons with other mattresses. In terms of the quality of the materials … the Christeli mattresses use high quality materials and there are no weak links in any of the mattresses you are considering.

The last part of whether a mattress (or more accurately a mattress purchase) is “good” for you depends on all the other parts of your personal value equation that are important to you including the price, how it compares to your other finalists, and any return or exchange policies which can be an “insurance policy” just in case your experience doesn’t agree with others that a mattress is a good “match” to the mattress you tested in the ways that are most important to you (regardless of whether other people think it is) and these can also be an important part of the “value” of an online purchase.

If you are also considering an adjustable bed then this can be purchased anywhere and is more of a basic “price per features” purchase than a mattress so whether you purchase an adjustable from the same place as your mattress would depend on whether what they offered had better features or pricing than the other options you have available. Post #3 here and the adjustable bed thread it links to has more information that can help you decide on which adjustable bed may be best for you and includes some links to sources that you can use as pricing references as well.
