Sleep to Live - Bensons Beds.... Anyone heard of them?
|
I have been looking for a new mattress lately. I am UK based. I started at Bensons beds, and after going thru some sales pitch, I found the Sleep to Live Series 900 to be just uncannily comfortable. Never felt that on a mattress before. But - it's £1,700. Next I have been to John Lewis (excellent, but yeah, pricey too!). Co-Op have some nice ones, but nothing that make me go "ooohhh, IKEA...". Just "nice".
I want a soft-medium mattress. can't decide whether to look for divan or not. Divan is good for storage, but if you are limited on room when you walk into the room, your feet might constantly kick it. I'm reluctant to buy online without trying the bed, so have sort of decide to buy only from a store. Best wishes. |

| I purchased one of these "Sleep to Live" beds at a Sleepy's recently. I went to 2 Sleepy's stores and both sales people directed me to these beds even though I had gone there and told them that I was looking for a latex mattress. Of course, it was one of the highest priced mattresses that they had ($3,999.00 for a King) but yes, it felt comfortable. I asked who made them and they both told me they were made by "Sleep to Live", a company that I told them that I had never heard of. Of course, they put me on that crazy sleep test mattress and told me what firmness was recommended. To make a long story short, the salesman dropped the price down to $2,500.00 and I walked out thinking that I got a good deal. After researching the mattress and also Sleepy's later that night, I found out that this mattress is allegedly made by Kingsdown and that Sleepy's has a less that stellar seller rating. Therefore, I cancelled the order the next morning and have not looked back since. All I can say is do a lot of research on mattresses, and also the stores that sell them, before you decide to purchase. I still have not purchased a mattress but am vey happy that I found this website while researching. Good Luck! |
