My rule is, if they have a referral link up, they don’t have your best interest in mind. Including review sites, YouTube videos, etc.

This rant is getting long, point is, there’s a lot of bullshit out there. I mention Purple here because this is another example of a company with real science behind it, real research, not just a few dudes in a room trying different foams and guessing what might be comfortable. My original Purple Mattress started to sag, they sent me an upgraded version free of charge under warranty. Purple, in my experience, makes a good product, and has great customer service.

I’m 90% sold on Tempur-Pedic.ĭon’t get me wrong, there are good companies making good products out there, I’d just be more cautious as to whose “marketing” you believe. Real science, big spending on R&D, and most importantly, a superior product, hands down.

I still haven’t made a decision, but I’ll tell you this, after going into a Tempur-Pedic flagship store, you actually get to experience the real deal. I also started asking myself this question, are there this many “sleep experts” out there who know the science, are passionate about sleep, and wanna make the best possible product? Or are we just dealing with fly by night entrepreneurs who simply figured out how to manufacture/order these, add some marketing, and live that dream lifestyle they always dreamed of? There’s probably over a hundred different bed in a box companies, and for good reason, it’s highly profitable. These are all just cheap to average foams, stacked together, 90% marketing, 10% product.

Slowly but surely you start to see a pattern. I’ve probably spent over 100 hours researching mattresses, going back and forth trying to decide.
