A mattress to remember

I am always amazed at how much mattresses sell for. Both of my boys aren’t on the best quality mattress because we didn’t have a lot of money when we needed to buy them. We ourselves couldn’t afford a new mattress set when our waterbed sprung it’s last leak this year. Instead we ended up with my parents ten year old plus hand me down, with the spring breaking and the gulley in it. My twelve year old son said to me a couple of weeks ago that he wasn’t so comfortable on his, and he’s only had it for about five years. I gave it a squeeze and sure enough, it’s pretty thin. You’d think for what companies charge you’d get better wear.

Bed In A Box makes a mattress that seems to address the complaints we have. Wondering what I’m talking about? I’m referring to a memory foam mattress. The mattresses have a ten year full replacement warranty and a twenty year prorated warranty, so you’re pretty well covered if there is a problem. They don’t charge a ton like some of the other companies, mostly because they use the internet rather than the television for advertising, and because they use efficient packaging. Bed In A Box isn’t a money hungry corporate type. They know they have a good product and would like to see it in as many bedrooms as possible. So they charge a reasonable price for a good product, and they put their money where their mouth is by backing up the product with a long warranty. They even ship their products for free. And that’s just the money aspect of their products.

Their products are made of material patented by BASF, and is considered to be the most advanced memory foam on the market. No, it isn’t quite as thick as some of the others, but bigger is not always better. In short, the bigger the foam is the more slowly it moves and the less it breathes. Slower movement and less air means it retains heat and takes longer to rebound. Memory foam was originally designed for pressure relief, so it’s designed for comfort. Springs are not designed for comfort, which you know if you’ve ever had one poking you. Each mattress sold includes a fire safe cover, and a terry waterproof cover. Their products are all made right here in the United States, in North Carolina, which means they have to be made by our safety standards. Many foams made outside of the US are made with cancer causing chemicals. They carry all sizes of mattress from twin to california king, including rv queen and twin xl.

I’d really like to get one of these for my son. If you need a mattress or will be needing one soon, check them out. And remember. Bigger is not always better.
