qMattresses Launches Mattress Warranty Section

May 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Today, qMattresses began covering Mattress Warranty matters on its website. To date, it has restricted its coverage to brands of mattresses it currently covers. The section addresses the frustrating idiosycrasies among company warranties on its mattress products.

"The one area that leaves a lot of consumers confused and frustrated with their purchase is the actual mattress warranty," wrote Christopher Fitch, Site Editor, in a written statement today. He notes that in addition to "small print-like" conditions that owners need to meet before they can enforce the warranty, these mattress warranties are "simply not what the average consumer expects from a warranty. Our Mattress Warranty area highlights key pieces of information that potential buyers should know before making their purchase."

The website notes that a 20-year warranty is not what many consumers believe it is (visit: http://www.qmattresses.com/mattress-warranty/our-new-mattress-warranty-section/ to learn more). Often, these warranties are split, with a full coverage period followed by a pro-rated coverage period. In addition, the so-called "number" on the mattress tag, box or advertisement does not list all of those specific conditions that the mattress must meet before the manufacturer will endeavor to repair or replace the product.

"In our latest mattress survey (for mattress ratings see: http://www.qmattresses.com/all-mattress-ratings/mattress-...), we were alarmed by the number of complaints people had with their warranty. Indeed, there are specific items that will be covered and a list of others that will not be covered by the warranty. Our Mattress Warranty section helps consumers familiarize themselves with most of those details ahead of their purchase so that they can actually compare apples to apples."

According to information on the site, a 20-year warranty on one product might not even rival a 15-year warranty on another. However, most consumers who are struggling between two products would choose the one with the longer warranty, even though they might actually favor the comfort and features of the lower-warranty product simply for a false peace of mind.

A dedicated area of the website is strictly devoted to warranties, helping consumers make better-informed decisions before they spend their money, Fitch explained. "This is in addition to the product reviews, ratings and complaints sections that are specific to the different brands we cover."

In addition to mattress-specific information that can help shoppers research and learn more about potential mattresses, the website also publishes sleep-related health information on an ongoing basis.

"Our objective is to provide a single point of contact for consumers browsing for the most comprehensive information about mattresses," Fitch explained. "No other independent mattress website achieves that with the same scope and reach as qMattresses."
