Comments on: Englander Mattress – A Reliable Choice http://mattress.truereviewer.com/englander-mattress-a-reliable-choice/ Mattress And Bed Reviews Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:19:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Mario http://mattress.truereviewer.com/englander-mattress-a-reliable-choice/comment-page-1/#comment-605 Mario Tue, 06 Jul 2010 00:32:19 +0000 http://mattress.truereviewer.com/?p=25#comment-605 I want to know who was able to convince Brett that it was reasonable to pay anything over $350.00 for a good and comfortable mattress. And if he really believes that he “would put a $1000 mattress in the ‘economy’ category", I would love to come in contact with people of his mindset because I'd be rich in a short time. It's thinking like his that is responsible for the runaway prices that we are exposed to today. Keep in mind the low tech. simple processes and the costs of the very basic materials involved in the production of these items. The manufacturers would like you to believe that this is all rocket science. They charge what they charge just because they can, and that you will pay it. I can't just blame the consumer though because many of them actually try to do prudent comparison shopping and find it futile. Why in the age of the Internet is this so? Because vendors don't like an intelligent and informed consumer. They'd prefer that you take the information that they give you as the absolute Truth. They have done a very sneaky thing to prevent you from comparison shopping and here's how it goes: The Manufacturer has his line of products with the various model names or numbers and sells to the retailer. Now the retailer takes those products, gives them new and unique names or model numbers and presents them to the consumer at their desired selling price. So now the consumer tries to compare one retailers merchandise to another’s only to find that they don't carry the same merchandise, when in fact they carry the identical products, they have just been masked under a different model name or number. You now buy from the most convincing Salesperson thinking (hoping) you got a great deal. You Lose, They Win.

They conclude with 'Never again.' What else do they have in mind? The shopping I've done suggests that prices start a little below $1000 and go up to about $5000. With this in mind, I would put a $1000 mattress in the 'economy' category. This is not a bad thing. Hopefully it's a good value for the money, but it's not a $5000 mattress.

No Brand of mattress is going to be good. If you want your moneys worth you need to seek out a dealer with 2 sided mattresses. Read a review here.

We only had it f0r 3-4 years and got a 2" dip in the mattress. Fowhand would not replace this mattress, altho it has a 10 year garantea. She told us it never needs turning etc. It is NOT a good bed for the money. We paid over 1000.-$ for this mattress. Never again. Consider yourself warned..
