Advantages: Might be comfortable?

Disadvantages: Can't try before you buy

Just had a visit from two salesmen this afternoon at my Mothers house-she wanted me to be there and it's a good thing I was! Salesmen were at least polite and pleasant enough, but quite pushy of course. Phoned two previous "customers" for them to give recommendations. I do wonder if they were real and getting paid a bonus per call or just employees of Craftmatic?
Whole thing lasted 3 hours with the obligatory calls to the office and manager who spoke to me and the price came down from £4800 to £2495-what a surprise! Just like dodgy double glazing/kitchen fitting companies.
I told them all that under no circumstances would we decide on the day to buy, and that I would research the product, company etc and do my own "due diligence" before making any decision.
Having now done so, I would definitely not advise anyone to go ahead with such a purchase as there seem to be a lot of very unhappy customers about.
I have also found several advertised on the net, at knockdown prices, and even an identical one to the £2495 model, brand new and still wrapped for £350 ono!!!!
All in all-I would say go to a reputable shop-try before you buy just like you would any normal bed.

Summary: Overpriced
