OK folks,

I have to give the owners of Sleep Etc/ Svenskabeds in Norwalk CT a huge compliment, Jeff and Anthony, you guys are the BEST !!!!! I live on the West Coast and have been considering a top of the line mattress for some time now. At one point I got pretty serious about the Hastens but just kept putting it off. I recently decided to just get something lower cost and local at the Sleep Train store in San Francisco. This ended up being a mistake. I had not shopped for mattresses in quite a while and did not realize how narrow the choices have become especially with American made mattress company's. Virtually all the mattresses made now seem to be "no flip" mattresses. After sleeping on a Vera Wang foam mattress for a few days it became very clear that I had made it mistake, (I realize that purchasing a mattress is a very subjective decision but for me foam just does not cut it). I wanted more choices, so I finally started doing my homework and found Carpe Diem mattresses. The Carpe Diem is somewhat similar to the DUX but without the complication of the inserts and in my opinion is a higher quality mattress. The Carpe Diem mattress topper is easy to flip and if it wears out you just replace it. Also the Carpe Diem does not have any of the "horse hair" issues of the Hastens. The full line of Carpe Diem is only carried at one store in the United States right now, in CT. So I flew to New York and took the train up to Connecticut. Jeff Klein picked me up at the train station and took me to his store in Norwalk.....once at the store every detailed question was answered. I tried all of the Carpe Diem beds and one of the Hastens, I finally decided on the Korno, medium...If anyone reading this is even remotely serious about buying a high end mattress it is really worth the trip to see these guys.....They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and they will take the time to answer all of your questions. Lastly when we finished they took me back to the train station and had me on my way in no time. Awesome service guys !!!! Thank you very much.
