Gel Foam Tactic

10/15/2014

Gel Foam Mattress Sale! You see the ads. Well, here is a tactic used by many mattress manufactures and retailers to make you feel like you are getting a good buy. A layer of gel foam is included in the mattress and often it is as skimpy as the the 1/4" gel foam layer in this Simmons Beauty Rest mattress. You see it? It is that skinny little layer with the blue specs. Yep. Just enough gel foam is layered into the mattress so it can be advertised as "Cooler Sleep" and a "Great Buy". Now  the mattress set can be sold at a higher price than needs to be... you pay more than you should. My experience is that a gel foam layer needs to be 1/2" or more to really make a mattress more comfortable. By the way, this mattress set is the mattress set referenced in the post titled Gimmicky Price Games.
