High-Priced Mattresses – The New Wave?
Sleep deprivation is not as uncommon as you would have thought. All over the world, a significant percentage of the population experience some form of sleep deprivation. According to a report, approximately one-third of Americans are sleep-deprived at some point in their lives.
“Find a need and fill it,” has been the mantra of successful businessmen, and not surprisingly, entrepreneurs have rushed in to fill the need for a happy and blissful slumber and have been manufacturing high-priced, luxury mattresses that promise happier dreams. And consumers, at least the wealthier ones, are forking out big bucks for high-priced mattresses.
The TempurPedic mattresses started the trend. These TempurPedic mattresses now sell for up to $8,000. If you thought the price was too high, you might not want to hear how much Hastens brand of sleep-promise mattresses cost – a whopping $10,000 to as much as $60,000 (for a hand-made Hastens).
50,000 $ for a mattress is way beyond what common folks would think is a decent price for something to just sleep on, but the question is, at this steep price, do these mattresses actually bring on a good night’s sleep? Doctors are not so sure. While they opine that the quality of mattresses definitely affect the quality of sleep, they are not yet sure that these high priced mattresses bring anything different to the slumber of those who sleep on them. This is because there are no scientific studies that determine whether one type of mattress is better than another.
It is only logical to expect that there are success stories of people who have had better sleep with these mattresses. Otherwise it is difficult believe that folks will shell out 10,000 + $ for a product for which they have no authentic testimonials. Unless of course they are stinking rich.
