First off, I have been a long time lurker and an ocassional poster..but I just seem to be loosing my login credentials so i got to start all over again each time !!!!
I have gone thru most of the matterss threads in OT; but wanted to see if anybody had anything new to say !!!
Alright, I was out mattress shopping last weekend and was utterly baffelled by the fact that one manufacturer - namely Sealy can actually keep distributing mattress with all kinds of brand names to various retail stores with no way for the average consumer to make an educated comparison or decision.
Obviously each store salesman claims that the model they carry cannot be compared to the competition; citing factors ranging from nationwide presence to the "not-a-warehouse-but-a-specialist" baloney !!!
And then comes the technology - viscous memory foam , intercoiled springs, no of springs, edge support and what not !!
After going thru about 4 stores, 5 mattress brands and all the above mattress industry buzz-words; one salesman gives me the absolute low down on how to decide when I told him my mattress shopping is turning to be quite a nightmare. "Yeah, its confusing. So is life. You got to pick one and live with it " !!!!!
Well anyways has anyone out here heard of the brand "King Koil" ?? I came across one that felt awfully nice (has the viscous memory foam inside the pillowtop) and the queen with the box spring is being retailed for 750 !! The same store has another mattress made by king koil retailing for 3500 !!! makes me think that maybe the brand is pretty decent.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
