Sealy Enchantment latex questions

Jon Gapes asked
2nd January 2012

Thanks for the response.

The Enchantment is indeed latex, the specs are exactly the same between the two models.

And they are pocket springs as I’ve seen in my description and it’s part of the ‘Platinum Pocket Collection’.

As I can get this for £665 online I just wondered how it compared with your offering and generally what you know of Sealy as a company and their quality.

Thanks.

Hi, again Jon.

 

As you have probably read throughout this site, unless you are looking at premium manufacturers such as Savoir Beds, Marshall and Stewart, Hastens, Vi-Spring etc, it is practically pointless even to consider buying a mattress based on brand alone.  You should be comparing like for like on component quantity, quality, build and detailing.  The industry has radically changed beyond recognition over the past ten years or so.  Many manufacturers that were deemed ‘premium’ back then have now been sold on, and on again and the majority are under the ownership of investment companies who only look at the bottom line and (I believe) the passion that the original owners had has all but gone. Sealy is an American company, their products are manufactured under licence in this country by The Silentnight Group (also taken over by an investment company earlier in 2011) whether the products sold in this country are the same as American models is unlikely.

All of our products are openly detailed in order that you use this to compare to similar models.  Until mattress ‘ingredients’ are listed openly and honestly by all manufacturers [and this will have to be done through legislation] you and countless others will be navigating this mattress minefield at the mercy of some rather unscrupulous manufacturers and retailers.  Don’t be embarrassed about asking pertinent questions.  Ask what type of latex it is they are using, how much natural latex is used (the expensive bit) and how much synthetic.  How deep is it, Is it better (for your needs) than natural fibres? and so on and on. Please keep asking your questions.

 

Even though my responses are simplistic, they do form the basis of how you should be shopping for your product.  I do not want any of our readers to just take our word for anything at face value, you and others should be using what we say to question other retailers and manufacturers about ‘their’ products.  We believe the products we have on our site are well built and well priced – use these as starter indications and see if you can find better.  If not, then come back to us.

 

All the best

 

John and Ryan.
