These 2 jabronis are actually extremely trustworthy; no script, fancy lighting, etc. Great job! 😊
I spent 2 hours yesterday at a Mattress Firm. I left there being more confused about what to get than before I got there. The baseboard that vibrates and elevates is just as expensive as the mattress itself. They were quoting me $4,000 - $7,000 for a mattress and baseboard.
I wonder what you guys think of the Costco mattress… the Kirkland made by sterns and foster
Thank you gentlemen for calling out the paid biased social media reviews.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching the channel. Hope it helps in any way.
We recently went shopping to upgrade to a king mattress. First, it helps a lot if you know what you want it to feel like. In our case we had gotten a 3" foam to top our queen mattress which was less comfy than it had been in the store. It felt like sleeping on a marshmallow, so we knew we wanted the new one to feel like a marshmallow and told the salesman that. Ok, turns out marshmallows are more expensive than bricks. We were prepared to invest a hefty amount on our long term comfort, then Husband asked why there were the same mattresses on facebook marketplace for half the price. Salesman said they were customer returns (people who don't like marshmallows} and they are cleaned, sanitizes, refurbished and sold at an outlet center. He could order for us and have it delivered, small delivery charge, and we would get the mattress we were prepared to pay $$$$ for $$.
They almost got me with the count down sale. Thanks guys you did a great job.
Sadly, I still don't think there is enough information to make the best decision. Satisfaction surveys are sometimes rigged. But, the BBB ratings and complaints section have really opened my eyes about a couple of companies that previously were on the short list.
We just bought a mattress at mattress firm and they literally fed us 8nout of 10 of these gimmicks! Now we are regretting it because our mattress sucks and is worse than what we had.
What did they sell you? Mattress firm is the absolute worst!
Thank you so much for this honest information. It really helps!
I REALLY appreciate your videos! Thank you guys for being honest.👍😎
Thank you for your honesty. 😊
Great channel. Thanks for sharing all these insights. Mattress shopping is a rabbit hole that's hard to navigate. This channel has been really helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your video! I wish you had a store here in FL.
Thank you for making informing videos
Thanks for the tips guys.
Great list guys
Thank you for the great information. Wish I was able to buy from you but I'm in Texas.
Disclaimer: I'm in the industry.
Nowhere in a "Price Guarantee" policy have I ever seen verbiage stating the price matched model has to have the same name. Not only do we match based on same or even similar specs, our competition does as well. This is extremely common among retailers. Model name is irrelevant when it comes to price guarantee policies.
Awesome video! Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for watching!
I never realized how simple buying a mattress was (or building my own) until I found your channel! All of your mattress videos are very informational!
FYI your #7 gimmick "Coil Count" is not separated from the Gimmick 8 "Low Price Guarantee" in the chapters

2 cool guys, cooling us, to whats hot on the market, but, chill to purchase! 👍
Idk why but I was waiting for the guy on the right to pull out a brisket and slice it there on that table.
Well done!
Thank You for watching 🙏
Bought a tempur pro breeze and the cooling effect was night and day. Haven't had a single hot night for months.
I bought a mattress topper that was supposed to be cooling (as a shift worker in a semi tropical area, heat is a huge issue for me) … and let me just say that I was really looking forward to using it in winter 🤷♀️ It is nice & fluffy & snuggly though. I will be looking up the one you mention
Very good presentation and informative video gentlemen. I wasn't aware that fiberglass is used as a fire retardant from I believe 2006. I want no part of that for many reasons. I'm going organic.
Cheers Fellas 👌👌👌
👍👊
Thanks for this guys! would you please tell me a bit more about the gimmicky "cooling technology" I get what you're saying about it and I'm glad i came here bc i was on the verge of letting that cool factor be a determining point!
But what about cooling? I'm shopping to buy a 10" thick hybrid and the top layer on one has your "gel infused" memory foam on the top.
You have me thinking that any and all foam on the topside is going to sleep hot! I heard you mention how cotton and wool tends to be more breathable - so is that what the topmost layer should be made of? Seems that all these $400-$600 'beds in a box' all seem to only have foam on top, so what do i do over here? Buy cool breatheable sheets or what? And is there even such a thing as a heat dissapating mattress? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again
I want my double sided Stearns & Foster I bought in 1999..lasted 15 yrs..😢 All boxed online mattresses are sadly terrible & I returned every one! Will hunt down an older one at an estate sale that was rarely used in a spare bedroom hopefully.
Just bought a new Intellibed.
The myth of mattresses weighing twice as much in time was there, for the sake of selling a mattress protector. But, to me, the primary reason to get the mattress protector is to not run afoul of warranty coverage, and, keeping truly bad things from happening to the mattress. It's not a lightweight mattress, but hey, I don't need to carry it around daily (I do wish I had handles for rotating it, it's true, but hey, it was the most comfortable).
I dimly remember something mentioned about coils, but that wasn't something I worried about. The cooling phase change gel, well, that's interesting to some degree, but the breathability was the biggest one I was looking at.
And, it was the most comfortable. A couple nights sleeping on it thus far, no pressure points, yay! I'm a side-sleeper with shoulder issues that can't be fully fixed, only managed. And yes, the mattress I chose made no claims about being the-one-true-mattress, but more aimed at side-sleepers for tuning.
i just read purple, dr scholls and intellibed are all the same patent
shopping for a vehicle you can look up the invoice price / what the dealership paid for the vehicle, is there a site like this to look up for what a mattress cost to produce ?
Coil count not a big deal, but what is the deal is what are/is the AWG of the coils, where they are placed and how many turns per coil. Also coils are replacing the foam or latex, which could be a CHEAPER alternative then latex, and the latex if Talalay is more expensive the Dunlop, thoughDunlop is a litter firmer. And very few mention ILD's!
Many ppl don't have access to your location can you guys recommend a couple of mattress you could buy online, just by doing so doesn't undermined ur product its u helping out ur followers. Unless u ship outside of usa help out fellow followers get something safe.
Just got a Serta perfect sleeper nurture night. I know a lot of its gimmicky. But I spent just a little over $600 for it. Not bad. I hope its comfortable. I have a coop home goods pillow with cooling stuff. Doesnt really help me but man its super comfortable!
I bought a sterns and Foster mattress and costco had a similar one but the company actually refunded us a couple hundred to match price. We still have it after 10 years but if I sleep too long I have back ache. Got ant recommendations.
Great advice. But if you don't buy from these discounted prices. I wont have a mattress. They all do this.
I agree with most of your points on pricing, mark up and hype specially on online mattresses. BUT I beg to differ on REAL cooling, one side mattresses and coil counts. I don't know not mentioning those was intentional or out of knowledge.
- Cooling:
There're mattresses with ACTUAL cooling features where they take away heat from the body for HOURS so you don't sleep hot.
- One sided Mattresses:
there are actual data that you can buy and keep a mattress up to few DECADES without need to rotate it.
- Coil Count:
They're countless number of sleepers that a much get better sleep and spinal alignment when they receive better SUPPORT (NOT firmness) So if it's done properly it benefits the sleepers.
Marketing Gimmick NO. 11:
Do listen to guys who make mattress and pushes you toward their mattresses! LOL😂
Decades! We lose dead skin and that’s why it ends up weighing more than when you first bought it!
Besides that I agree!
Yes that's the Best Buy Walmart scam they sell Lenovo computers but a slight change so the Models numbers won't match at OfficeMax or wherever
I know this may be a Uk site but what would you say about the Dusk 4000 Coil hybrid mattress , gimmick or legit ?
Hey there guys, just got home from three mattress stores and I'm a little overwhelmed. Prices are so high but my pain is so bad for me that it could be worth it.
I am a 100lbs and i have scoliosis and seven titanium ribs and 67 screws in my rib cage from an accident.
I am a back and side sleeper and really like the way the kingsdown hybrid felt but as a single mom choked on the price.
Any thoughts?
Hi there, been meaning to reply to this sooner before you made a decision.
My heart goes out to you and your situation.
We believe the mattress is the most important piece of furniture in your home.
It is also probably the one purchase you’re going to be in contact with, which will have a great affect on your day.
But we also believe that a mattress purchase shouldn’t break the bank either.
Not sure of your financial situation, but are you able to get the same relief from a less expensive mattress that still has good quality components?
In your case, I would consider an adjustable base with a mattress that maybe not as expensive as the Kingsdown, but still has great pressure relief with good quality materials.
The adjustable base will give you a whole other element when it comes to support and comfort that you can fine tune it a bit more to fit your body, that a mattress alone is not able to accomplish.
Also because of your situation I would definitely only purchase if there is some trial period or option in case the mattress does not work out.
I hate promoting financing, but if you’re not able to find relief with anything less expensive, I may consider financing it with 24-36 months to make it easier on the budget, if it is going to help you sleep better and wake up pain free.
I hope this helps, feel free to call the store if you’d like.
Thanks for reaching out.
u can build ur own mattress. buy different layers of foam
We are a mature couple (65+ yo), shopping for a split King foam "firm" mattress set. Can you guide us through this journey. Like most consumers, I do not want to over purchase feature that may prove to be unnecessary.
Hi! Yes, we can absolutely help you out. You can give us a call at 858-581-2945 and we can help guide you on your mattress journey.
What do yall think about Golden Mattress?
The biggest gimmic is sleep number.
I noticed that, been watching these beds for about 5 months now, and regardless of what sale, the price is the same...lol
What about adjustable bases?? Are they worth it?
I’m not a mattress expert but personally, it has been the best investment I ever made. If you have any back pains or health issues like cardiac, circulation, even yearly flu- adjusting your position without having to pile on pillows or use wedges has been incredible. We splurged when we retired. I wish I would have done it years sooner. My only regret is we didn’t get a split king base where each side can adjust as needed.
The biggest ripoff I seen was guaranteed on mattress and got a adjustable base and when I didn’t like the mattress after 90 days which I had to keep it for before they would give me a full refund they would not honor the purchase of the adjustable base
Ya know years ago back in the late 1960s 1970s the box springs came with the mattress and was made of steel! Not cheap wood..And these beds lasted for years! I never remember my parents having to buy beds all the time.. they're sharks! 🦈 Anything to make the public spend more money they don't have
As a heavier person everytime I go into a store they want me to lay on firm beds. I am a side sleeper and like a very soft bed. But they want me to lay on concrete lol 😆 they are like, you need this bed or you won't get enough support. But they are beds I would wake up extremely sore on and wouldn't be able to get comfortable on. So much for sleep experts, most these people don't care what your preferences are.
if you want a mattress that will be soft and not wear out( loose its shape), use a low pressure hospital mattress. they have mattresses that are bariatric, and can be ordered in 500 pound weight/ 900 pound weight capacity( standard hospital mattress cap. is 350 pound limit). the other nice thing is, these mattresses are rebuildable, so you can replace only what is worn out. the cost of these mattresses are about 200-300 dollar price range( the price will fluctuate depending on what is ordered). I worked in a hospital years ago, now retired, and I had back surgery ,and I only use, a low pressure hospital mattress. this got me off of all pain killer meds. these mattresses are so nice, you will fall asleep, and wake up in the same position , and you will not even want to get out of bed( your not on it, you are in it). if you are interested, you can get in contact with CASCO MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS' 1-800-843-1339 OR YOU CAN GO ONLINE WWW.CASCOMFG.COM they will" sell to anyone", and build your mattress any way you want it built. their main business is building mattresses for hill- rom/ stryker( they make hospital beds)/ hospitals ect.. if you have any questions, you can respond back to me if you like. I will NEVER visit a mattress store, they are so over priced, and sell junk!!!.
2. Two-side mattress. Outer layers are made of different foam than its core, for a reason. What is going to happen with this outer layer when it is put at very bottom of matters. It will use up because it must support not only you, but also whole mattress weight + it resides on frame.
Analogy to car wheels. It would be like solid tire vs tire with 2 sides where both sides uses up in same time as you drive a car. I'd rather pick solid tire that last longer
I am delusional?
OK you guys, how often did you help your wife or mother flip a mattress? Speaking as a wife and mother I never got help. Mother having to flip a mattress is a big deal.
Mattress firm told me one well i can put in a code for a discount lol
I bought a Leesa before they made all the other styles the currently offer now. It’s an absolute piece of trash. I need to get rid of it asap. It barely lasted a couple years.
Lol OSHA does not regulate beds !
How do you know a mattress needs replaced. My queen is about ~30 years old.
Great question! Here's a video we did on when it's time to get a new mattress :) Hope this helps! ua-cam.com/video/-nLvZH18wEo/v-deo.htmlsi=mOpsYTimZPw_pr-8
Yes the 1 sided mattress!! OMG I caught that right from the beginning!! I tried it once, and it didn't last at all!! I only buy 2 sided mattresses and don't let these 🦈 sharks fool you 2 sided mattresses are AVAILABLE just shop around, think for yourself 🎯💯
What scientific proof do you have that they don’t cool, etc.?
A GREAT MATTRESS IS THE SIMMONS BEAUTYREST BLACK EUROPEAN PILLOW TOP . YOU FIND THESE MATTRESSES AT 5 STAR HOTELS LIKE RITZ-CARLTON, FOURSEASONS AND ST REGIS
