Tempurpedic

Mattress buying today is a lot like buying a new car, house or jewelry — it can put a dent on your financial situation, which is why availing of a financing scheme for mattress purchase isn’t a far fetched idea. In fact, it should be very helpful to many consumers.

Just recently, Mattress Firm has announced it is extending its newest credit card program, in cooperation with GE Money. With it, consumers can avail of a lot of financing options including low-fixed interest, easy pay, waived annual fee, discounts and promotional offers.

Night shifters and most call center networks keep the city bustling even after 10 PM that business operations still make good even at this hour. 1800mattress is going to capitalize on this beginning March 6th, when it opens its showroom doors to customers, without having to lock it ever. The mattress store will be in operation 24/7 in, ironically, the city that never sleeps.

The chain’s showrooms at 64th St. and Second Avenue, 95th St. and Third Avenue, and 34th St. and Ninth Avenue will remain open for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Additionally, the company’s clearance center at 31-10 48th Avenue will also be open continuously.

If you’re checking into a Trump Luxury Hotel in Chicago in the spring of 2008 and beyond, you will be enjoying the comforts of a sleep system exclusively developed for the hotel by Stearns and Foster. Among what guests like you can expect include:

A mattress that is crafted from the finest materials, including elegant silk and sumptuous wool fibers, zoned convoluted foam, and multiple layers of proprietary Flawless Foam. Guests will feel rich, luxurious comfort, contouring support, and long-lasting resilience on the Trump by Stearns & Foster.

A bed store with distributorship at Auckland, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin has been fined $26,400 by the Commerce Commission in New Zealand for putting products up on sale, claiming mark down prices, when these were in fact their regular prices.

Advek Holdings, trading as Back to Bed, was found guilty in Christchurch District Court on Monday of breaching the Fair Trading Act 12 times. Commerce Commission chairwoman Paula Rebstock said the retailer had advertised beds as being on sale when they were actually being sold for the usual price.

One of the larges mattress manufacturing outfit is doing some changes in the warranties its offering to consumers. In order to provide full customer satisfaction, Spring Air Mattress will honor warranties for defective products resulting from body impressions of up to 1.25 inches. The normal industry standard is actually 1.5 inches.

Spring is confident that their mattress products can deliver the best quality, as they have developed this new “Power Coil” system.

Ken Harader of AC Mattress Company began working with them at the age of 12 and took ownership of the company in 1975. Today, he celebrates 50th years of mattress manufacturing.

It seemed like the start of a typical work week to Ken Harader one Monday in 1974 when he arrived at A.C. Mattress Company.

Harader met with his boss and the company founder, Bill Thomas, to discuss the day’s work plans.

Thomas then got up from his desk chair, walked to the front door of the office, collapsed, and lost consciousness.

The Sleep Squad revolutionizes how mattress selling is done. Customers don’t come to the store, the store comes to you. The Sleep Squad showroom is found in a van that moves around the Chicago area. It’s an idea welcomed by mostly the design conscious, according to Furniture Style, who interviewed Sleep Squad’s owner, Michael Cote.

Some excerpt to that interview:
