Go to the Matresses


Buying a mattress requires seeing, feeling and testing the bed. Yet QVC discounts the importance of these actions, and instead convinces viewers to buy their mattresses via Q testimonials. One of the main brands QVC sells is Select Comfort, Sleep Number Bed. The Sleep Number Bed allows you to control the desired firmness with a digital remote. You can also get beds where half can be at one level, and the other side of the bed at another; perfect for couples who can’t decide on a mattress. These beds are pricey, starting at around $2,500.

The New York Times published an article about the Select Comfort Company. After reading it, I'm still not sure about this concept. I just don’t know how comfortable I would feel buying a bed I had never actually felt… Thoughts?
