[Post deleted by moderator]
Hi KATnc.
I have merged your two review threads and then deleted your posts because I think you may be misunderstanding the goal of this site. These two posts violate the “self promotional” rules of the forum.
As the moderator of the forum when I am in doubt I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to posts that appear to be promotional. While I certainly don’t mind you posting on the forum … you need to stay inside the rules of the forum and it would also be helpful if you could post more accurate and “educational” information that has some facts behind it rather than the type of “broad brush” opinions that are rarely if ever accurate, factual, or helpful.
It’s also unusual for a member here to post a review about products that aren’t part of the main focus of this forum (mattresses) on their first post on the forum.
The goal of this forum has always been to help educate and inform and to help people identify the criteria that are most important to them and to help with “how” to choose not “what” to choose. This is also the reason that this site will never be a review site (there isn’t a section for reviews) because it will always be more focused on educating the members here with more “fact based” information than on encouraging them to repeat the same mistakes that consumers have been making for many years … which includes warning them that reading or “counting” reviews as a reliable source of research can be among the worst ways to choose a mattress.
Searching for a mattress is confusing enough without having many people promote their own personal preferences and opinions or “favorites” as applying to others as well and which generally leads to many different people each “suggesting” different mattresses without any more objective or individualized way to differentiate and choose between them.

hi Phoenix,
Thanks for your message. I reviewed the Rules, but it wasn’t very clear what ‘opinions’ are acceptable or what ‘self promotion’ means. I’ve been reading this site for 4 months and will look more closely at how others have described a positive mattress purchase and will re-submit my entry.
Take care,
KATnc
