update to stores in DC/Baltimore area?

[phoenix]

Hi Crofton,

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments and experiences … I appreciate it.

I also appreciate your list updates as well.

All American Mattress in Crofton no longer carries the eclipse mattresses, but does have a brand called body tech that may be of some interest. I didn’t ask for the specifics as it was too firm for my spouse, However, the owner has a good connection with the manufacturer and may be able to get the specs.

I’ve changed the description for All American Mattress to remove Eclipse and include Restonic and Symbol (which are listed on their website so hopefully they still carry them). I also added Body Tech to the description as well along with a caution to make sure that any potential customer checks their foam density specs because it’s unlikely that they would meet the foam quality/density guidelines I would normally suggest (see posts #17 and #18 here).

Mattress Man is now loacted in Lanham, Md- they carry Eclipse and the sales person was going to try to get the specs on pocketed coil mattress with foam on top. Wonderful price, but I’m guessing the foam on top may be less of a grade than I desire. However, a salesperson willing to get specs.

They were already listed in Lanham in both of the lists I linked but one of the listings had a broken link so I corrected it as well.

The bedding barn- from what I can tell from the website is no longer in Md

It appears that they’ve closed their stores in the area so I’ve removed them from the Baltimore list.

and has a 25 year warranty

I would keep in mind that mattress warranties only cover manufacturing defects in a mattress and they don’t cover foam softening and the loss of comfort and support that goes with it (which is considered to be “normal” and not a defect) and the loss of comfort and/or support is generally the main reason that you would need to buy a new mattress. Warranties have little to nothing to do with the durability or useful life of a mattress or how long it will be until you need to purchase a new one and longer warranties are more about marketing than anything else (see post #174 here).

I’m looking forward to finding out what you end up deciding … and thanks again for the updates.
