Cheap Mattresses not for me

Cheap mattresses what a joke, I worked in the bedding industry for years and I would like to share some information that I learned. I say if you want a cheap mattress there are two options look in the dumpster or fill up a bag with leaves. A mattress is an investment in yourself and cheap should never be something you look for in a mattress.


Generally cheap means of very poor quality or flimsy, Is that what you want in a mattress? Flimsy poor quality junk, junk that has deep body impressions in a month, that the sides collapse on a few weeks after purchase. Sure you could spend a few hundred bucks on a queen set now, then a year from now be sleeping on a lumpy uncomfortable mess. There you’ll be a year later out mattress shopping again looking for that great “cheap mattress”. Cheap is not the way to go. I understand cost can be an issue but those cheap mattresses are basically a scam, don’t fall for it.


Hey don't get me wrong if you don't feel you are worth a good bed, or you like wasting money on junk, buy a cheap mattress, far be it from me to stop you.

However if you want a good mattress that is rather inexpensive there are options. Don’t buy the cheap mattress specials that the big names, like Sealy Serta or Simmons, try to push on you they are just that cheap mattresses. You will know these mattresses first by the cost you cannot get a decent queen set for three hundred bucks, it will just be made of cheap poor quality materials. Another thing you will notice about these so called “cheap mattresses” is how thin they are, how big can the springs be and how much foam could actually be in that four inch mattress.

The best option is to buy from a company like King Koil or Eclipse these two companies make great mattresses at great prices they have been around a long time and offer great warranties. My personal favorite is King Koil they offer bedding in all categories, the company has been in business over a century and offer very good non pro rated warranties.

Check mattress ratings, figure out how many times over the next fifteen years you will have to replace that “cheap mattress.” Compare that to the cost of a great quality “inexpensive mattress” from a brand like King Koil. Then factor in how much more productive you will be with a restful nights sleep. I think you will find that wise money is on quality!
