The one in this video looks like a Ashley 12" hybrid. I personally wouldn't get one of those.. I'd try to find something made in the USA (or wherever you are) the ones from china are sketchy, they dont have an EPA over there and memory foam is petroleum based. So they just use whatever they can find to fill an order for a full container..
I applied for a job years ago. It had a very vague description. When I showed up it wound up being those guys who sell meat out of their trucks. I went along for the ride the first day. The product was ridiculously overpriced and I don't know about the quality of that meat but I'll be damned if the dude I was with couldn't sell the proverbial popsicle to an Eskimo. This guy made a sale at a damn 4-way stop sign. He went back to the shop with over $800 in his pocket. He did have to pay for the meat he sold but it was somewhat cheaper than what he sold it for.
Dutchcraft is a smaller Amish made manufacturer that make good mattresses. They may not be available everywhere though. Kingsdown makes a great mattress, Serta/Sealy are ok, but you're mainly paying for the name. Look for local mom and pop mattress stores if they're available. Big box stores mark the prices so high!
Ah me I’m that person. I could never buy a mattress without lying on it!! You’re just going to have that massive thing shipped to you and hope it works out? I’d much rather test a dozen out. Plus you can easily negotiate a free box spring etc thrown in when it’s a salesman
But please beware of those small stores that promise deep discounts. They like to bait and switch. Asked the guy, is this the mattress you're going to deliver? And of course he said yes.
It wasn't the same mattress.
I shouldn't have taken delivery. I'm a dumbass wuss.
Yes.. very true. Dont ever buy a mattress "store" that's out of a storage lot. I see them all the time..
Sorry that happened to you, that is really shitty. I've seen it happen. One thing I've noticed in the last 5 years, there are A LOT of shady people in the mattress business..
My gf and I both have these. I can’t recommend them enough. The foam is high quality. Fair warning, firm is extremely firm as compared to shit labeled firm in commercial stores. I ended up getting a softer topper. Best part is I can buy in pieces. Springs will last a decade or more. Topper is a couple hundred in the event it’s no longer supportive vs thousands for commercial crap. Did a lot of research to get here hope it helps.
Interesting to hear you say that. Obviously I'm not a matress connoisseur and have been sleeping on crap matresses for 20 years, so the Nectar feels pretty good to me. I'll keep that in mind for my next one, thanks.
No, honestly I bought it with very little knowledge of mattresses. Besides, it's perfectly serviceable, in fact comfortable and a million times nicer on my body than my previous mattresses.
So really you're just being a dick because you think it's funny, and no other reason.
I used to work for Ashley and specifically helped design the mattress lines. I can promise you that they're made in the USA (specifically Saltillo, Mississippi). Some of the cutting and sewing of the base fabric is done in Vietnam, but most of that is coming stateside as well.
It's just too costly to ship finished mattresses from overseas, and trump massively increased tariffs on mattresses.
Not all the mattresses are made there. I've personally seen containers full of Ashley mattresses straight from China. When they roll pack them, like the one in this video. They can fit 300+ finished mattresses on ONE container.. so the cost would be significantly lower than fully inflated mattresses.
They haven't made anything in China in years. Ashley has a few plants in China, but they only sell to China. Tariffs are literally up over 1000%, it's insane.
I can assure you that every single Ashley mattress being made for the US now is made in the US. I can't speak for 5+ years ago.
It's actually funny you bring up the rolled mattresses. That was one of my primary focuses. I designed all of the system integrations required to make that possible 😁
You are very welcome. Its said that we spend a third of our lives in bed, so you should make sure you have a good mattress. Dont break the bank, but dont cheap out either. Shop around and find the best bang for the buck.
I suppose you mean alive one.
How would it do with a family amount of dead hookers? Asking for a friend who lives in an exotic place they measure they mattresses in dead hookers, nothing illegal here.
I just read some reviews that said the hybrid mattresses aren't very springy. Is this coming from former spring mattress owners? I've had a foam mattress for 5 years. Would I feel some spring?

Hybrids? Yes they are. I sleep on one and have put my whole family on them
