Mattress Challenge

After consumer's preference for Spring Air over Sealy®, Serta® and Simmons® in consumer challenge rest tests the last three years, Spring Air® recently won its fourth consecutive Mattress Challenge title. Conducted again by an independent research company, saw consumers choose a Spring Air Minton EuroTop® Back Supporter® mattress nearly 70 percent of the time compared to two higher priced mattresses Select Comfort® and Tempur-Pedic™.

The Test

In Comparisons for Three Years.  So there would be no clouding of issues, an independent and national testing company was hired to oversee the consumer Mattress Challenge. For the first three tests, NOP World conducted and monitored the rest test in malls located in Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Tampa, and simply asked 1,200 consumers to rest test two mattresses side-by-side. One mattress each time was the Spring Air Minton EuroTop® Pillow Top, the other belonged to either Sealy, Serta or Simmons (Spring Air vs. Sealy™; Spring Air vs. Serta™; Spring Air vs. Simmons™).

In the Fourth Mattress Challenge.  In the fourth Mattress Challenge, more people preferred Spring Air's Minton EuroTop Back Supporter in comparison to higher priced mattresses made by Select Comfort and Tempur-pedic (Spring Air vs. Select Comfort® Spring Air vs. Tempur-Pedic™).

The Result - For The Third Straight Year

Sixty-three percent of the time, consumers chose Spring Air. None of the mattresses were identifiable to consumers, and comparisons used mattress sets in a similar price category of approximately $999 retail.

In the Fourth Mattress Challenge.  Nearly 70% of the time consumers chose Spring Air in comparison to higher priced mattresses made by Select Comfort® and Tempur-Pedic™.

The Winning Combination

The winning bed was the Minton EuroTop... The Mattress Challenge Minton mattress features a Total Balance innerspring, NeverTurn™ Advantage, Foam Encased Wireless Edge™, and Contour Surface Technology™ (CST).
