There's no guarantee that any business won't close it's doors tomorrow or the day after. The mattresses claim to be American made (from American made material?) and they provide some technical sounding specs. It's not at all clear how long this mattress will last. I would try googling to attempt to find some independent reviews. You generally get what you pay for. As these mattresses are only sold online, you might get more value for the dollar that a B&M store. The down side is that you purchase sight unseen and no ability to test drive.
Good points, all ya'll. From what I'm reading on this forum, having a warranty doesn't mean all that much anyway, so just because a company is new is not necessarily the be-all end-all issue. More important is to know what you're getting (upfront, accurate, complete disclosure of components and construction) and have an exchange or return policy that you can live with if it doesn't work out within a reasonable period of time, is how it seems to me at this point after reading lo these many months (and still not buying anything yet - but trying to soak up all the information I can like a sponge so I don't live to regret (yet again) making an illinformed decision then having to work like the devil to get the problem solved). I'd rather pay in taking the time to find out what I need to know than plunking down my cash, ending up with a mattress I can't stand, and then having to deal with getting rid of it. So if this company - or any company - is willing to give folks a good deal for a good product, and at the same time is honest and accurate in telling you what you are getting, and if they have a reasonable exchange or return policy, then I don't really care how long they've been in business, or if it's a big or a small company, local or on the internet.
