Attention C.H. Beckley Owners
|
Hi All, Thank you in advance. I ordered and have been sleeping on a Beckley mattress for several weeks. I LOVE IT. By far the best mattress I have ever owned, and for that pricepoint, I have very few complaints. I just flipped my mattress and noticed that the tag says: Horse Hair - 60% Hog Hair - 40% Both of those together make up 70% of the stuffing. The other 30% is cotton. When I ordered this and was on the website there was never any mention of "hog hair ." Can anyone else who has one look? I am curious if yours is the same, and if it is something to raise a fuss about. Again, I love the mattress, but this seems a bit misleading. -Sweepy |

couldn't find my tag - could be on the boxspring which is hidden by sleigh bed rails..... I agree it's a good bed, we are nearly two years into it and it seems brand new. Still firm though! |

When I asked (3 times by email) about the percentage breakdown of the filling (web site states "the mixture of 70% natural hair and 30% cotton felt fillings") I was told that "the mattress is horse hair with a small percent of hog hair added for bulk" To me, a small percentage is normally 10-25%. After 2 more un-responded emails, I called and was told that the actual fill was Horse Hair - 60%: Hog Hair - 40%. Both of those together make up 70% of the stuffing. The other 30% is cotton. NO MENTION of hog hair could be found on the main site. With the minimal email responses, overall experience and additional shipping fee, I decided that the company website is indeed mis-leading and when questioned, the attitude was more of 'like it or lump it'. As a result of my experience, I have decided to go the latex avenue. Whilst I understand the nature of the horse hair product not being condusive to a return policy, the latex suppliers at least offer 100% refund after 100 days. |
