Mattress Forum

I've already done it. Thanks though, because it turned out to be good advise. (Did you mean &quot;you&quot; as me, or &quot;you&quot; in general?) Anyway, I was trying to draw Marshall in, who said it's a bad idea in the thread:   <span class="size14"></span>Innerspring Mattress with Latex Top?   Perhaps he didn't realize the horrible return/exchange policies (and actualities) we can run into over on this side of the pond. Or, maybe he does know something we don't. I'll be the first to admit I can overlook even the obvious.<BR><BR>Matt

draw me in? dont worry i am here.....

ok where to begin, lets start with why this site seems to be here, people are looking for a new mattress, they have become confused, they need help and are tired of listening to a salesman who is money hungry and wants there cash rather than giving them a good nights sleep. WHY would i agree and tell these people that butchering your mattress is a good idea? the site is here to be a discussion of what is good and bad in mattresses, do we agree on that? so we should be helping them choose a good system not encouraging them to basterdise the matt they have!

most important thing, if you change the foam interior of your mattress it will be unsafe..... now ill let that sink in for a moment. you endanger yourself, your family and your home. sound fun? the covering of foam based beds will be coated or woven with a material (or spray) that will prevent the foam going on fire when in contact with a heat source, this cover will be suited to the type of memory foam used and will be (partially) ineffective on other types. could be a cigerette could be a plug behind your bed overheating anything really, and belive me, burning foam is not something you want to be in contact with. but dont worry you wont feel a thing, the smoke would kill you before you wake up.

from reading this site i think you have a pretty good return policy with your bed companys ..... other than Tempur NO uk bed company will take a mattress back once its been slept on. and why would they? would you want to buy a bed that someone else had slept on? also the fact its totally not hygenic, so ask yourself why a manufacture would accept a cancelation on an order, and loose all the money on materials, man hours, admin staff, and transport ect, when they have done nothing wrong? they offered a bed, you said 'yes ill have it sir' they make and transport the bed, you want all your money back? no chance.

now i know im going on a bit, and sorry for the long posts. all this information (inculding the bits below in my sig) is widly known in the bed industry but not really belived by the genral public :(. and i say it not out of an idea to cause friction but because ive seen it with my own eyes ive been there while we run test after test in universitys and labs, i have been involved in making, designing, branding, and the selling of them not only to the public but to the stores that you go to. my name is marshall and im a bedaholic.

now, im expecting a few heated replys from this - so, what have you got?

My cover has Visil woven in. Yes, this is a fire retardant material. About the retardant being suited to the foam, especially about the partial ineffectiveness of the retardant when covering other types of foam, could you provide a reference article, preferably an internet link? Whatever you have.<BR><BR>Matt<br type="_moz"/>

You're certainly welcome here if you want to add to the collective knowledge on this board. You seem to have some knowledge that might help. But you know, we've had several people like you come on here in the last few months and tell us we were all wrong and that they somehow had all the wisdom of the universe concerning mattresses bottled up in their being and darn it, they were going to straighten us out - right now!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You seem to be looking for a fight. &amp;quot;now, im expecting a few heated replys from this - so, what have you got?&amp;quot;  And look at your signature.... I know one thing for sure, there are no absolute truths in the mattress world, yet somehow you claim to have found them. I would advise you to calm down and 'hear' what these folks are saying concerning their mattresses.  Try to be helpful.  Condescending tones are not usually received well.  Try to be respectful.  It's usually the best way to reach people. Good luck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bill<BR>
