Quality comparison ?

Hi Slumpy,

Of note, Denver Mattress is not the same company they used to be. They are on par with Mattress Firm these days. Maybe that is just the one in my area however.

They still make some good quality/value mattresses that would be well worth considering but I would avoid the mattresses they carry that they don’t make themselves.

My current bed was listed as very firm, and quite hard almost when we got it. It is now broken-in and softer in the places we sleep than the middle or edges. Pretty natural I expect, but its like sleeping in a trough, and by the middle of the night we are both edging into the middle because its firmer. We have turned it every month as recommended but this hasn’t made much of a difference. Maybe its a low quality mem foam, our first one and hey we didn’t know and trusted the sales specialist at the store (Denver Mattress BTW)

If your mattress is one of the Green Choice mattresses then you can see some comments about them in posts #9 and #13 here and the rest of the topic. They are an imported mattress and use lower quality/density 3 lb memory foams which is a low quality material and would be a weak link in the mattress and I would avoid them as well.

The level of knowledge of the different salespeople at Denver Mattress can also vary widely but it’s always a good idea to make sure you know the type and quality/density of all the materials in any mattress you are considering before you buy it (regardless of what you are told about the mattress) to make sure that there are no lower quality/density materials or weak links that could compromise the durability and useful life of the mattress.
