I am new the the site, but love the concept of soo many reviews of mattresses in one place. Since I am a new mattress owner after having the old one for about a dozen years, I was surprised to see how much mattress changed over the years! Well, after much homework at local and online retailers, we ended out buying from The Sleep Center and picked out the Anniversary model by Scandinaivan Sleep System was the one for us. This mattress is amazing, IMO, and I would suggest it to anyone that is looking for a new mattress. We bought the queen size set, with new foundation and box...along with pillows and sheets and a protector. We also had a great experience at that store.
Specs: The Anniversary by Scandinavian Sleep Systems
Anyone else give the Scandinavian a try? Love it as much as we do? We have had it about 7 months now - so I hope the positive experience will sleep with us for many more years.! :) |

I think you missed my point in this post as well as your other one which I'll reply to separately. They are completely safe with the 2" exclusion and they certainly know it. Do you really expect them to confirm that warranties in most cases are not worth the paper they are written on? A mattress that loses it's ability to support and provide comfort will still have less than 2" of depression when you are not laying on the bed and it has had some time to "recover". Even 1.5" which is closer to the norm is usually a "safe" amount for a manufacturer to offer because of the way it's measured and because they know that even degraded foam needs very little remaining resilience to come back enough to make a warranty replacement deniable. You are not "completely covered" as you believe you are. It is true that the outlet may choose out of goodwill to honor the warranty (and I would applaud this) but then they will be out the amount of the mattress. I would also not "expect" this ... especially with a mattress that was known to have the possibility of these issues ... and would set a precedent with every other unhappy consumer who believed they were covered but weren't. Why would you need this in writing when all they would "write" was the same 2" exclusion which is their "out". You say you wanted to research and learn ... then you can validate what I am saying with little effort as this information is easy to confirm. Your defense of and trust in a retailer who is only repeating what every other retailer repeats is really strange to me. I am not saying he is "bad" since i don't know him ... I am saying that what you are choosing to believe and what you are CAPITALIZING in your post flies in the face of the evidence that some very simple research would uncover. You don't have to believe me ... just take the cue and find out for yourself. In the mattress industry it is buyer beware ... and accurate information is your best friend. Phoenix |

Funride, I bought the Scandanavian right after they came out, so I'm sure it was a different model than you have. At the time we purchased the mattress the "warranty" was for 1 1/2" depression. If it's 2" now I would guess there were definate issues. The 2" depression was actually measured by the dealer when they came out to look at the mattress. MW was just looking for an excuse and used the bill os sale as that excuse, stating we don't know how old the mattress is. For whatever it's worth, it still had the original tag on it that showed the manufacture date and that it was built for MW. We've been through two beds from a local mattress company since and are looking for a new replacement again. The first was a pocket coil and it was rebuilt once because of foam compression. It gave out again, this time the coils were shot, and the company offered us a no charge replecement. The replacement has given up now, as well. The company doesn't want to deal with us any more and we were told to go elsewhere to purchase a bed. As Pheonix notes, warranties have so many exclusions they may not be honored. I've been reading this forum for quite some time and will likely go with a full latex for our next bedif I can convince my wife that the price is worth it. |
| I LOVE MY SCANDINAVIAN SLEEP SYSTEM! I got the Sandmahn and I've had it almost four years. I sleep good EVERY night. I honestly and truly never have a bad night of sleep. The only down side is, I can't sleep on anything else. When i visit family or go to a hotel, it's horrible! I yearn for my Sandmahn when I'm not on it. I can't even begin to explain the quality of this thing. The only reason I'll wake up during the night is because I have to use the restroom. I dream all night, every night. It's such an unbelievable deep level of sleep, it's nearly ineffable. |
