Mold Problems With Sleep Number Beds No Longer An Issue According To QMattresses.com

Online, July 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - According to a post published today by leading mattress reviews and ratings website qMattresses.com, the mold problems that haunted the Sleep Number mattresses several years ago should no longer distract potential buyers. The post, published under Sleep Number Bed Problems of its Mattress Complaints section, highlights the two greatest customer complaints with this unique Select Comfort product.

"The valve issue appears to have been a quality matter that the company remedied some time ago," acknowledged Christopher Fitch, Site Editor, in a written statement today. "The mold, on the other hand, was a larger problem."

The post makes reference to an FAQ site that dealt with the mold problem in greater detail, helping concerned owners and potential customers understand what causes mold, how to spot it and how to deal with it. "In our view, it is a fairly comprehensive attempt to address the issues the company was facing at the time."

The website notes that respiratory issues can often be triggered by mold, thereby making the presence of mold in a mattress where people spend upwards of 1/3 of their day a very dangerous problem. Select Comfort has since improved its manufacturing process to include an antimicrobial agent.

"The process works," Fitch admitted. "The antimicrobial agent that Select Comfort uses in their mattresses has prevented the presence of mold in their newer products. This is tremendous. But on top of that, unlike most other mattresses on the market today, Select Comfort Beds provide owners with access to the mattress core. This allows for regular preventative maintenance."

The website states that today's buyers of the Sleep Number bed should not be concerned with either the valve or mold issues that plagued the product previously. "While there is an opportunity for mold to exist, in concept, the reality is that the company stands behind its product, which is not the same product as it was in the past. We find this to be encouraging for today's buyers, no matter what position they might take."
