re: Hybrid Mattress In A Box

I am a Area manager for a company that sells mattresses. Trust me. I know every mattress out there like the back of my hand. Sealy or Tempur. Bed in a box returns are over 40 percent. Compared to less than 3 percent for Tempur nationally, and 15 percent for Sealy. Sterns if 12 percent they have hybrids too, but Tempur is the same price and their hybrid has substantially better cooling(true cooling not cool to the touch) and substantially denser foam(it is 6x more dense than bed in the box foam at the base Tempur, and gets denser from there).

Then the mark up. Now Tempur has 100 percent mark up. Sealy has 125-140. Sterns has 225 percent.


Nectar a Queen bed cost 17 dollars to produce and total cost to Nectar to create is 28 dollars(including shipping). They cost 799.

That is every bed in a box basically. Their foam density is under 2.8 pounds per si in even the "premium" models. Compared to a 800 dollar Sealy. Which has 4.2.

Do your body a favor. Stay away from 17 dollar mattresses with 800 dollar tags.

Also every bed in a box in America has the foam made by the same company. There are only 8 actual companies producing all of them. Nectar itself has 8 other beds they make under different company names. Tuff and Needle is made by Simmons, etc. Its all an illusion to sell old technology(it is poly foam) for absurd prices.
