THE CHRISTELI MATTRESS COMPANY

[phoenix]

Hi R-10,

According to a high level representative of Park Place, they do not manufacture Christeli, though the company histories on their respective websites appear identical or at least very similar. It’s very difficult to get any independent information on Christeli.

Yes … they are now manufacturing their mattresses in their own facility which is close to the Park Place factory (see post #5 here).

Very unfortunate because their site is informative, their products appear to be well designed and appear to use high quality materials made in the US. Their prices seem reasonable. I would add the sales rep was very professional and patiently answered every question I had. They seem to be a great potential choice but I am reluctant to pull the trigger until I know something about the company. Does anyone actually know who owns Christeli?

There is more information about the 3 most important parts of “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and 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).

While I can’t speak to how any mattress will “feel” for someone else in terms of firmness, “comfort”, or PPP because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances … outside of “comfort” and PPP the most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress. This is the part of your research that you can’t “feel” and assessing the durability and useful life of a mattress always depends on knowing the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label or how a mattress feels in a showroom or when it is relatively new so I would always make sure that you can find out the information listed here so you can compare the materials and components to the quality/durability guidelines here to make sure that there are no lower quality materials or weak links that would be a cause for concern or compromise the durability and useful life of a mattress you are considering before making any purchase.

I’m not sure why this would be unfortunate because they are completely transparent about the materials in their mattresses and there are no lower quality materials or “weak links” in any of them so they would be well worth considering.

The principals in Christeli were also principals of Park Place but decided to go in their own direction and focus more in the direction of online sales.
