| Product Manufacturing
& Integrity |
 |
With today's growing national markets it is way to easy for
major mattress manufacturers to outsource the manufacturing
of some or even all its internal mattress parts. which reduces
overhead costs and increases their bottom line. This leaves
you the consumer with a cheap, flimsy, problematic mattress.
|
| Buying Direct From
Manufacturer |
 |
The internet is flooded with websites that claim to be a manufacturer
when in reality there are only a few real manufacturers who
truly make all their mattress parts themselves. Don't be fooled
by cheesy unprofessional looking websites in hopes of getting
a good deal. The only good deal you will get is the one you
hear about while waiting on hold to get your mattress refund.
|
| Fair and Comparative
Pricing |
 |
The problem with cheap mattress pricing is that you always get
what you pay for and if you do by chance find the same exact
product for a dramatically lower price there must be something
wrong and its sure not to last very long! The manufacturer of
the mattress sets the markets cost for the mattress resellers
who then marks it up and sells it to you the consumer for a
profit. So based on the resellers eagerness to compromise its
bottom line for one more customer is the basis for today's competitive
pricing.
|
| Efficient Trial
Period |
 |
Most short trial periods are ways to con you into keeping something
you don't want or to ravel you up in the red tape of returns.
So therefore it is necessary to find the longest trial period
you can which is usually only offered by a legitimate mattress
manufacturer.
|
| Product Support
and Warranty |
 |
Product support is an integral part in choosing which manufacturer
to purchase from. Here is a short example of how to qualify
if the prospective mattress company is the legitimate support
provider for it's own products or if it just hands you off to
the real manufacturer after they sell you your mattress.
|
| Testing the Waters |
 |
Before purchasing call the mattress company and say you are
an existing customer and you have a leaking mattress. If they
give you another 800 number to call chances are they are passing
you off to the main manufacturer of the product and at that
point you could ask for sales and probably get a better price
and deal directly with the manufacturer.
|
| Product Warranty |
 |
Your new mattress warranty should cover all parts for 10-20
years or more per-industry standard.
