How's this spring mattress I just ordered?
|
I ordered this Sealy as I plan to now put my own 3" latex or memory foam topper on top of the strong coil system This one, according to the salesman, Sealy Posturepedic Wyrick is basically just the coil with some padding. What I liked is this salesman understood what I was trying to do and didn't try to upsell me on more plush models since I planned to use my own comfort layers. Also they will give me one free total bed exchange if I don't like it... http://www.mattress.com/ProductDetails.aspx?PID=13753&SID=6 Was thinking of keeping the soft 2.9" layer from my SleepEz bed to use as the topper. Thoughts? This message was modified Mar 1, 2008 by novahelp

Whether the floor model has been broken in by hundreds of people laying on it over months (or years), or whether they have a special floor model as a "bait and switch" -- I'm getting into conspiracy theories here ;-) -- who knows. I've suspected the same thing myself and I think there might be something to it. When I was mattress shopping I inspected the tags of the one I was considering and it said "Floor Model" right there. Why would it say that if it was no different from any other mattress? When I got mine delivered and lay down on it it felt softer in the center than the one I had tried out in the store for a good two hours! I don't think it was my imagination. I have to wonder if the floor models are made with HR foam rather than the cheap PU foam they put in the regular mattresses, just to make them feel more substantial and hold up better while customers test them out. |

Some floor models are there for YEARS. When I was considering the W Hotel bed (Simmons beautyrest classic) the sales guy said the bed had been there for two years and that is why it might be hammocking for me! I was like, uh after two years it's already too soft that doesn't speak well for quality and decided to pass on it (even though it was a GREAT deal). |
