I had mentioned before that we have a new product out that I'm really excited about. I really want to link a video for you to see what I'm talking about, but also don't really want to open that can of worms......don't really need my employer getting emails about me, if you know what I mean.
BUT....I really want to tell you folks about this, because it's something I believe will really make peoples lives better.
What to do, what to do......
I'll just ask a few questions and tell you a bit about it. I'd really like your feedback. If you'd like a link to the video leave a comment, and I'll email it to you. It's worth the watch. Truly it is.
You know I sell mattresses. That much I've made perfectly clear. And once these babies hit the market the gig is up. No one else has anything like it. You'll know right away who I work for.
How many of you suffer from allergies? How many of you, or your children, wake up in the morning stuffy and sneezy? You know why? Dust mites. Yep, they are everywhere, no matter how well you clean.
Did you know that there are 3 severely germ infested areas in every home? Your kitchen sink, your mattress and your toliet. In that order. We have products to clean the sink and toliet. But what about the mattress? You can vacum, but that only gets the surface. You can disinfect but that doesn't really help. Hell, only 25% of the stains are visable. Take my word for it, mattresses are not clean, even with a mattress pad. Oh, the mattress pads are important. They protect the bed. We're talking about a bed that protects YOU.
Not only that, but studies show that you mattress doubles in weight over a 10 year period. And guess why. Yeah, it's those pesky dust mites again.
I could bombard you with more gross statistics, but I think you get the idea.
What if I told you there is now a mattress on the market that you CAN clean? I mean, zip off the top and place in the washer. Wash in hot water and bleach (if you want) and then dry.......(or dry clean if you prefer). It kills the dust mites, traps the stains (and in most cases keeps them from becoming stains) and is replaceable....
Yeah. It's the coolest thing since sliced bread. For those mothers/wives out there that are so intent on keeping your families healthy, I think you'll love this.
I tell you this, cause I'd really like your feedback. I'm going out to my dealers and pitching this product. I'd like to be able to give information on how people respond to the idea. Not just what I'm spoonfed by the Company. I've got an advantage. I have this blog. I have you. I can make this real. I want to know if people are really interested in this type of product. I want to be able to truthfully tell my dealers how consumers will react to this ideal. Does anyone really even care?
So....in my effort to be honest and upfront with my dealers, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Again, if you'd like to see the video just ask and I'll send you the link. The video is out there for anyone to see, I'm just hesitant to tie myself to the company. I only ask that you respect my privacy and not do anything silly like contact my employer. Yeah, that wouldn't really be a good thing.

Posted by: Machelle at November 5, 2004 08:04 AMThis IS a great idea...especially when you have little ones that say, "BUT I was dreaming that I was ON the toilet!"...LOL. I would be very interested in this --
Posted by: ALa71 at November 5, 2004 09:09 AMWow! That does sound great. That part about a mattress doubling its weight has sold me. I'd bet mine is worse, since the pets sometimes join us.
Gotta go - all these dust mite thoughts made me itchy!
Posted by: Karen at November 5, 2004 06:50 PMit would take care of those stains made while....oh never mind, TMI, good idea, I'll have to check it out

Sean - keep a stack of towels by the bed & slip one under her ass before you get too worked up. Best part - you get to toss the wet spot into the laundry hamper instead of fighting over who sleeps on it :-)
