Here in the Czech Republic, and I believe it's similar in most of Europe, several months of no-questions-asked guarantees for mattresses are very common. This is different from warranty (common to be 25 years).
- snazz 8y ago25 year warranties?! In the US, mattress companies run ad campaigns to convince people that mattresses are consumables that last eight to ten years. Funny how that works.
- agumonkey 8y agowhat price though ? here they say it's pricey because it's a 20 year investment.
- slv77 8y agoThe US consumers prefer spring mattress while European consumers prefer mattresses made from latex foam. Over time springs degrade faster than foam and so US mattresses have a shorter lifespan.
- SeanLuke 8y agoMy experience in Italy strongly suggests spring mattresses are the norm.
- atombender 8y agoDo you have data to support that assertion? As a European, I grew up with nothing but box-spring mattresses. IKEA has more box-spring products than foam ones.
- joncrocks 8y agoI think you might mean spring or pocket-spring. A box spring is something you put a mattress on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-spring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-spring
- atombender 8y agoOf course, oops -- pocket spring!
- com2kid 8y agoMy $2k latex matress has a giant sink hole in the middle of it. I'm non-too happy, and a bit disillusioned about the idea that latex matresses last longer.
