Mattress Forum

You have been warned if you buy one, it is your money, your good night sleep, your back, your time, you decide!

If I read reviews on this bed like mine I would have never purchased it in the first place and took 2-3 months for my back to recover.  I should send my medical bills and time wasted to Dr. B.!

I kinda think you're right. At first, I gave them the benefit of a doubt, but then I noticed that they made the same posting in 2 locations on the forum. And these are their only postings ever. Where were they when they were doing their mattress search? More examples of Sleezy's as the Masters of Deceit!

I've seen other postings remarking on apparent inconsistenciew w/Dr. Breus beds. Don't know if it's the different licensed manufacturers or what....Maybe it's just such a new product it hasn't been fully standardized across the board yet.

If you read my posts about my experience, it is exactly like yours, and I stand by my findings, IBC is junk!!!!!! And so is Dr. Breus beds!!!! 

I had the same experience and same options (I had to spend the same or more or buy 2 mattresses), so I purchased the The Rhapsody bed by tempur-Pedic, was the only price that I knew was fair and close (no one can price adjust this brand) and we really like it, is it worth the price, only time will tell, I still can not justify a 4,000 mattress but we so sleep better than we ever did. 

Good luck and let us know what you choose here and tell us after a few weeks if you still like it.

My question, brought up by some of the stuff I have read on these treads is, will the mattress last? I got the firm model and the tag says its 13% latex (probably top layer), 85% poly, and 2% rayon.

My wife and I are small and light but should I return the bed to sleepy's for $400? It has a 10 yr full warranty and 10 yr pro-rated.

Interesting! I have not seen the percentages posted before. From pretty much everything I've read on this forum, polyfoam breaks down pretty rapidly, as compared to latex. So you are probably looking at a breakdown years before before the warranty is up, since that is the primary compnent of the mattress. Other posters have said that warranties are pretty much useless in most cases. The terms and conditions depend on the language used in the warranty. If you want to post that, we can try to see whether it would cover any breakdown in the poly foam.  Some of the posts have talked about technicians coming to their home and determining if or whether the warranty covered the potential claim - usually not. Consider also that Dr. Breus is a new brand and it's doubtful you'll find much reporting yet of anyone trying to make a claim under the warranty. t If you want something that is going to last ten years or more, chances are this is not it. If you know that going in, and are okay with it, then no problem. Otherwise, you might want to reconsider while you still can.

What is REALLY fascinating is that everyone takes a hard line--"this mattress is amazing and the best ever and will change your life" or "this mattress will probably kill you avoid avoid avoid"--but no one seems to recognize the essential truth behind any purchase like this: some will like it. Some won't. Everyone's body is different and will acclimate differently to a new sleeping surface. Two people can try on the same pair of shoes and think they're comfortable in the store, and one of them can develop blisters in a month while one will love them. I'd love to see some non-judgemental, purely factual accounts of how the mattress felt in-store, how it felt when it was delivered, and how it felt after some time had elapsed. I just tune out the sensationalist reviews; positive or negative, they all come across as being sponsored by either the brand in question, or a competing brand.

Good Luck
