Twelve Question Form Basis of Mattress Buying Guide By QMattresses.com

Online, July 24, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Today, leading sleep and mattress ratings website, qMattresses.com published twelve questions each mattress buyer should ask before spending their money on a new mattress. The site's Mattress Buying Guide aims at furthering consumer knowledge so that mattress satisfaction ratings may increase overall.

"We see a tremendous amount of complaints every day," acknowledged Christopher Fitch, Site Editor. "Many consumers feel disappointed with their mattresses and by the manufacturers, whether it is a warranty claim being denied or a product that simply does not meet their needs. We can easily address the first problem by suggesting that people buy and use mattress protectors. The second issue is one of knowledge, which is where qMattresses.com steps up to the plate."

The Mattress Buying Guide highlights twelve questions that buyers need to answer before making a purchase. These simple questions include topics related to sleep preferences such as "Do I sleep on my side, stomach or back?" and "Do you prefer a soft, medium or firm sleeping surface?" as well as more introspective questions about personal matters like "Are you hyper-sensitive to odors?" and "Do you wake up with a sore neck or back?"

The aim of these questions, admits Fitch, is to make the mattress-buying process more about the individual(s) making the purchase and not about the retailer who wants to sell a particular brand or model.

"Buying a mattress is a very individual affair," says Fitch. "Just as you wouldn't fill a prescription that it isn't yours, you should not buy a mattress that isn't made for your individual needs. We hope to help consumers figure out what their mattress needs really are."

The final question in its Mattress Buying Guide post concerns the actual mattress warranty, which Fitch says is often ignored altogether by purchasers in the buying stage. "Not surprisingly, it is also one of the most-often cited reasons of frustration with a mattress product and the company that sold it. By raising awareness and consumer confidence in this area, satisfaction among mattress owners will invariably increase with time, just as it has in other retail sectors."
