You cannot adequately evaluate a mattress in 15 minutes
lying on one in a retail store.
You need to test drive the mattress for a few nights - minimum!

Confusion
- The major
retail bedding manufacturers purposely do not allow one store to
call the same mattress by the same name so that you cannot
comparison shop. The idea is to have you buy your mattress from
the closest retail store to your home regardless if it is what's
best for you!

Reimbursement.
The Self Adjusting Mattress is the only air mattress recognized
by the U.S. Gov't and Private Insurance in the consumer mattress
marketplace. It has its own HCPS Code E0 373 Non Powered
Pressure Relieving Mattress. Inner spring mattresses are not
recognized as Durable Medical Equipment since they are not
manufactured for health issues but rather comfort issues in
consumer homes. The Self Adjusting Mattress was medically tested
and scientifically evaluated by the U.S. Gov't for 6 years
before it was awarded this prestigious recognition.

All of the models look the same.
The retail bedding industry has conditioned the public to assume
that the thicker and higher the mattress, the more value it
offers. This couldn't be farther from the truth! It is all
visual perception. A mattress should not be purchased based on
aesthetics!

Tax!
Retail stores by law have to charge tax whereby an Internet
retailer does not!

|
Inconsistent pricing
- The retail bedding industry markets repetitive sales
frequently trying to create a sense of urgency to get you into
the store when there are only a few select models available with
discounted pricing. This is a typical effort to up-sell the
customer a more expensive model.

What the retail sales person fails to explain regarding the 3
main criteria in identifying the correct sleeping environment.
|
|
a.)
|
Lower Skin Temperature
- The optimum sleep environment has a surface that does not
deflect the body heat back up towards your body but rather one
that absorbs and wicks heat and moisture away. |
|
b.)
|
Correct Spine Support
- The human body is not a straight line therefore biomechanics
and ergonomics plays an important role. The spinal chord is the
computer board of the human body and you need to have good back
and spine health. |
|
c.)
|
Relieve Pressure
- The retail bedding industry is positioned to try and equate
more inner springs being better for you when it is the exact
opposite! More springs mean more pressure points! The inner
spring mattress is prohibited from being used in a health care
facility since it is not healthy for the individual. There are
too many pressure points and no support for the lower lumbar
area. |
