Your experience with Corsicana Bedding's products are unfortunate. However, it sounds like the real culprit here is the salesman that you dealt with. Corsicana is a MAJOR player in the bedding market. So much so, that the largest mattress retailers in the US use them to manufacture theory private label products. *cough Mattress Firm cough*. Do you really think that they would use Corsicana to make their beds if they were a crap company? Hell, Tempur-Pedic's boxsprings and foundations are even manufactured by Corsicana.
It seems like one of two things happened. (Probably a little bit of both, actually)
1. - Your salesperson did not care enough about helping you find the right mattress for your sleep-style.
And/Or
2. - You were not willing or able to spend the right amount of money to buy the right mattress for your sleep-style.
Sure, most mattress stores have a ridiculous mark-up on their products, but that doesn't mean that you can't find the right bed in your price range. Nor does it mean that Corsicana Bedding is a terrible company. If you like a soft bed, but you mostly sleep on your back, then you're in for a rude awakening after sleeping in your new bed. Or if you're a side-sleeper but you buy a firm bed because you heard they were better for your back then you're screwed too.
The sad truth is that if you didn't spend at least five to ten minutes in the store, trying out the mattress, in the position that you actually sleep, (and I'm sorry if this sounds harsh) but it's you're fault for not buying the mattress that your body needed.
Every bedding manufacturer, whether its Sealy, Serta, Simmons, Tempur-Pedic or Corsicana Bedding makes beds for every comfort level and with the exception of Tempur-Pedic, every price range. It's up to you as the consumer to spend the right amount of time on your mattress before buying so that you know you've found the right one. It's also important to note that it sometimes takes up to 30 days before your body will adjust to your new mattress. This is because of muscle memory. Your muscles have grown use to your old mattress and depending and it will take a while for them to get use to the new one.
But don't blame the manufacturer for an impulsive buy and a pushy salesperson.
And for the record, $500 is not a lot of money to spend on a piece of furniture that you will use more than a third of your life. read more
