Hello Phoenix,
This is a follow up to the thread where we were discussing the density of the Macy’s Memory Works mattresses made by Sealy which I have ordered.
I emailed Sealy to ask about the density of the memory foam in the comfort layers of the Memory Works Serena Plush.
And…they won’t tell me!! :dry: :dry:

being able to assist you with this information.

I also called them and was told the same thing.
I pointed out that this information should not be “secret”. When we buy a computer, we readily know the type of processor and when we buy a car we know the engine.
I said that I was not asking for a secret ingredient or anything. I was not asking where and how they make it and who their suppliers are or what any of their processes are. …I simply wanted to know the density of the foam in the comfort layers of this particular mattress that they make. I advised that I have no way to assess the quality of the mattress without this information should be readily available to consumers interested in their product.
They wouldn’t budge. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the supervisor at Sealy told me that the density of the foam used has nothing to do with the quality of the mattress. :blink:
She did eventually tell me that the density of the foam they use in their mattresses ranges between 2lb to 4.1lb.
Even though I gave her the specific mattress I was interested in, she said they use different foams in different layers. I told her I know that and that there aren’t that many layers in the Serena mattress and it would be very easy to tell me the density of the foam used in the layers…or ANY layer!
She would only say that the Serena is at the higher end of the line. Actually it is not, it is the mid-price range of the line.
Have to say I do not want to deal with or give business to a company that refuses to supply the most basic of information about their product.
I pointed out they had this information listed on their Canadian site for the recently discontinued Memory Works line. Why could they share that with the public not but share the information for the new line with the public.
Sealy replied the Sealy Canada is a totally different company and information on the mattress on there does not apply to the ones in the States. So…the same mattress, by the same manufacture, the same name…is totally different in Canada?? :whistle:
Sealy has left me with the impression that they are purposely withholding basic information from consumers. Seems sneaky to ask want you to pay for something with no way of assessing it’s quality.
