Re: Overstock is full of it.

Hello! I just joined the forum to chime in on this topic. Having purchased the blue "Venus" foam topper for Overstock almost a year ago, I tater became suspicious of its authenticity due to discrepancies in weight and color of the foamex brand. Whether or not Overstock is complicit in the "scam," is up in the air. When I contacted them about this a few weeks ago, they immediately refunded my credit card in full and instructed me to keep the topper. They did not, however, confirm whether or not the product is legit. Anyway, I ordered the "real" Venus topper from Sleepwarehouse.com last Friday. The company sent me the following reply in regard: "Thank you for order. Unfortunately at this time Foamex is not pouring any of the Venus memory foam. The demand for this product has decreased. Due to this limited volume, Foamex has discontinued the Venus product months ago. The Sensus 5lb is the most popular topper in the memory foam line. In most cases we have found the 5lb to be superior over the 8lb Venus, due to the Venus being so slow reacting." Sincerely, SleepWarehouse Customer Support" Guess that clears some of the confusion pertaining to the overstock item. It is not 8lb foam. Rather it's the Aerus 4lb topper. For Overstock to suddenly cover-up its mistake is a big no-no. I wonder, though, about the claim from SleepWarehouse.com in finding that the 5lb is superior to the 8lb Venus topper. That would be be a real disappointment considering the heavy price premium for the Venus. Unfortunately, there are no other vendors online that have the authentic Venus memory foam in stock. There aren't even any reviews on it to be found. Cradelsoft makes an 8-lb topper but its only sold in a 2" queen or king size with a starting price of $575.00! If any real Venus users are out there, your feedback is needed! |
Re: Overstock is full of it.
| I suggest everyone to weigh their toppers. A king sized, 1" thick foam of 8lb density should be ~29lbs. If it's exactly half that, you've got 4lb Aerus. If it's severely underweight, call overstock and demand to speak to a supervisor. WEIGH YOUR FOAM ACCURATELY!!!! |

Re: Overstock
| Congratulations Pete. Have they vowed to stop selling the faulty Venus? Have you ever tested their Sensus to see if it is legitimate? |
