I talked with a couple of customers yesterday, who had been patiently waiting for me to update this page -- and let me know they were frustrated not to have seen any updates since the last one in March (see below, if interested)
So, first, I'm sorry to have been so slow to update this page. I was first waiting it out for all the reviews to come in. And this took much longer than expected -- it wasn't till May that we got most of the reviews in.
And after sifting through the results, one mattress really did stand out from the others. Overall, it has garnered:
- 87% Would Recommend To A Friend
- 84% 4 and 5 Star Reviews
- 89% Checked As Comfortable
- 91% Checked As Offering Good Support
- Only 4 Returns on test, so 92% decided to keep the mattress, even with our money back guarantee
These really are remarkable results, just about on par with those that Tempur-Pedic® -- while our testers tried out the mattress sight unseen, whereas I'm guessing Tempur-Pedic®'s users have usually tried out a mattress in a store before purchasing.
Over the past couple of weeks I've been working on the new copy for the site about the mattress, and trying to get all the technical details worked out (shipping issues, warranty language, etc).
But just as I was getting all this together, things came to a screeching halt -- when I learned that the raw costs of memory foam were again on the rise, and just six months after getting my initial pricing information my pricing might rise 15% - 20%.
So .. I'm trying to work out some way to pare down the costs so that I can price the mattress at about 1/2 the price of the comparable Tempur-Pedic® (The Tempur-Could Supreme (TM)).
How long will it be, then, before I can offer this mattress in our store? I've found that, invariably, things take longer than I expect. Certain things in getting going with the mattress, for example getting the initial inventory of covers for the mattress and good photographs of the mattress, take a few weeks.
My best guess right now, if we can somehow work out the cost issues, is that we might have the mattress for sale in August, although this might get delayed into September since a lot of mattress producers take a lengthy vacation in July or August that can delay things.
I will update this page again as soon as I have more concrete information. If you need to get a mattress in the meantime, which I can certainly understand, you might want to check out the mattress I used to carry -- it is made by Joya Sleep Systems, and they call it the White Gold Mattress. We got very good customer reviews for thismattress (although, based on the return rate being higher, not as high as the new mattress we are working on). It is a firm mattress, in general, so those looking for a luxurious feel may want try something different. I don't know who to refer you about buying this online -- the best place to find out would be to contact the manufacturer at (336) 431-2356 (Joya Sleep Systems).
