How do you make the switch to foam mattresses? They just feel so strange and different compared to regular mattresses?
We buy a $100 foam in the box mattress (at walmart.com), pick it up at nearest store and put it in top of existing one
Then we say to owner your mattress is awful.. We won't review it that way..(they are very appreciative)
Next time we rent there there is a new non-foam mattress
If you want to make a lot of money - place yourself between the consumers and the producers.

They're so quiet and way more comfortable (as long as you get the firmness right) that I'd never go back unless forced to.
Now this made me thinking of other online review sites. Are they all like that? I couldn't give an honest review, if I get more money from B than A. So if they state otherwise, I call it fraud And I know that's what people call marketing in general and there might be some truth in it - but that's why you go to these review site to get a neutral view. So normally the customer should pay the reviewer, he is doing work…
It is just businesses competing to sell products - maybe a little too interested in suing, but business nevertheless.

Yeah basically he is committing extortion and blackmail, pretty sad.
More accurately, he's accepting bribes to silence his freedom of speech. He's entirely in his right to have negative reviews as long as they're truthful.

I lasted a month on $600 foam. I woke up several mornings with sore hips. Finally, I called the local rescue mission to donate it. When I explained that I felt bad passing it on to someone else, they said they are picking up a couple of these mattresses each week! It seems like it's a hard adjustment for many... zing.
What was your sleeping position and what firmness of the mattress?
Worth noting that some claim it gets softer after a few weeks.
The whole mattress industry is a scam. Actual manufacturing cost is $75-$300. Mattresses are even cheaper on Alibaba. Vacuum-packing memory foam shrinks mattresses for shipping, and now they can be imported easily. If you really want to annoy the US mattress industry, set up a review site and review sub-$100 mattresses off Alibaba. (Personally, I have an air bed which cost about $200.)
2 years later and I have no complaints.
Many podcasters are in the same boat, though they try to mask it. I only listen to probably 3 podcasts, but I hear the same sponsor reads on a daily basis. Casper, Fracture, Betterment, Warby-Parker, etc. The reads given by these sponsors are only guidelines, the better podcasters personalize them to make them sound like real endorsements not just ad reads.
Sadly some people can’t tell the difference between a sponsored read and an endorsement precisely because they make it sound like an endorsement.
