The following text is satirical-dramatic in nature. If reading it makes you feel sad about having an inadequate mattress or pillow, please contact us and we will surely help you.

Have you ever wondered why Osaka Air mattress is not for you? Well, no need to worry because we are ready to explain it to you! If you're not looking for comfort, healthy sleep, and freedom from back pain, then definitely don't buy it. Our mattress is not designed for hardcore masochists for whom suffering is a way of life, and uncomfortable sleep is their biggest dream. After all, you're not such a wuss that you need to seek comfort while sleeping, right? Can't wait to get out of bed with back pain or sore muscles? You're on the wrong manufacturer's page, so don't waste your precious time on us.

As we've known for ages, there's nothing worse than a solid dose of healthy and restful sleep. Someone may say it's torture... But after all, torture is our centuries-old tradition. Besides, in the old days, people slept on a pile of hay and everyone lived more or less. In the Middle Ages, the Poles peacefully reached ripe old age, dying no earlier than before their 35th birthday. Those were the times, but now there are no such times. And what kind of life is it where we don't face any challenges? Ahoy adventure!

But why should I sleep peacefully?

Let's face it. Sleeping on a comfortable mattress is just plain boring. What kind of sleep is it when we wake up feeling rested? Besides... What normal person wouldn't take advantage of the opportunity to sleep on a spring mattress that provides an incredible symphony of sounds and can replace a trampoline? Who doesn't like to be enveloped in a thick layer of memory foam, so they don't catch a cold because it simply doesn't let air through? Comfort is for the weak. It has been known for centuries that strong people like to suffer. This helps them live life the way they always wanted.

Modern lifestyle also does not serve peaceful sleep. More and more people wake up at quarter past three in the morning. In the summer it's already bright out. They're already shaved at quarter past three because they shave in the evening. They eat breakfast for dinner. They just get up and leave. After breakfast, they no longer dress up. They just put on a coat and go to the bus stop, which leaves at quarter past four. Although they never catch it, it's good because it's already overcrowded and doesn't stop. They go to the dairy stop, because it's only an hour. They get to work at quarter past seven, and are already home before twenty-three. They shave, have one breakfast and go to sleep. Since they're almost not sleeping anyway, why not sleep comfortably, if you can't sleep uncomfortably?

 
Of course, not everyone lives that modernly. However, there is also a distinct group of people who don't want to sleep comfortably, just because. They will travel to Bydgoszcz, but they won't sleep peacefully. Because they don't want to. And that's it. What can we do for them? Nothing.
Night sweats, too hot in the bedroom, ideal temperature in the bedroom, sauna

Everyone likes saunas, don't they?

If you enjoy turning your bed into a sauna every night, then definitely avoid the Osaka Air mattress, as it won't provide you with that. We created it to meet the needs of those who value air circulation and effective moisture removal from their mattress. Of course, not everyone likes that. There are people who need a solid dose of sweat at night combined with pleasant aromas in the morning. And there's nothing wrong with that, because tastes are not up for debate.

Our universal mattress is equipped with an innovative system for removing heat and moisture from the mattress. It consists of a unique Aero 3D mesh located between the second and third layer of the mattress, just above the innovative system of transverse circulation channels. Therefore, it will not satisfy those who need the fresh scent of sweat in the morning to maintain a good mood throughout the day.

For such people, we recommend memory foam mattresses, whose first layer is made of an irreplaceable visco foam. It perfectly conforms to the person lying on it, providing them with a mirror effect of heat reflection, which allows for an increase in body temperature. What's the catch? Ancient manuscripts say that the only person who doesn't sweat on a memory foam mattress is Chuck Norris because the mattress sweats in fear of him. So if you're not Chuck Norris, you have a chance to fulfill your dream of a hot, wet night!

Bugs? I won't eat them, but they don't bother me in bed!

In the history of Polish cinematography, there were already those who examined the concentration of sugar in sugar. We, however, dedicate the best mattress on the European sales scene to those who are interested in the content of foam in foam. If you're not interested in what you sleep on and its parameters, then definitely avoid our mattress. Knowing the type, density, and hardness of foam is not for you.

 
Hard guys can be divided into two types. The first of them doesn't want to know what's inside their mattress. The second, on the other hand, is enthralled by the most elaborate names of polyurethane foams given to them by the salesperson. The less meaning the name contains, the better. From a reliable source, we know that the best ones come from Chrząszczyżewoszyce located in the Łękołody district. It is there that a special kind of foam is made, which has nothing to do with polyurethane, namely the latest generation foam called Bzzzysczzzykievisco®. Its composition contains only love and respect for the customer. Oh, and a bit of formaldehyde, but who would pay attention to that...

A special kind of customers who will definitely not sleep on the Osaka Air mattress because it will be too comfortable for them are fans of mythical natural mattresses. Although these most often share with nature only accidental letter similarities in the word, they make a huge impression on us. It's hard to walk by people who like to sleep on buckwheat or coconut, or rather on their shells, i.e., cheap food industry waste, indifferently.

We admit without beating around the bush that a coconut mattress is a very interestingly designed product. It constitutes an excellent and very hard solution for those who want to provide their spine with additional sensations, as well as those who want to financially support orthopedists and physiotherapists in the future. At the same time, such a mattress very often, though to a lesser extent than a buckwheat mattress, is also home to millions or even billions of beings. And as we know, true hard guys aren't bothered by worms in the mattress. Moreover, allergens, bacteria, or fungi are not scary to them either. Rumor has it that some people consider their breeding to be their hobby!

Ergonomics? What's that?

Every strong person knows that taking care of your spine is for wimps. Tough guys sleep on anything, seriously. Lately, they even sleep on rocks, which makes them believe that it contributes to maintaining the right level of calcium. And next to them, they keep a half-liter bottle after drinking, which every morning is covered with golden chrysanthemums dew. Nobody can persuade a tough guy that this modern and unnecessary invention called sleep hygiene will help him in any way. It's hard to talk to him anyway, because he's usually busy hunting. Even for a promotion in a mattress store, because a discount below 50% is not an opportunity at all.

And the rest? Psh! Wimps sleep in bedrooms where they feel comfortable and safe. Above them, there shine eight stars at dawn. The feeling of comfort they experience awakens the most deeply hidden instincts in tough guys. Who ever saw them gymnasticize their spine? What are those lordoses, what are those kyphoses? The spine should be straight, not twisted. The simpler the life, the happier.

Soft? Firm? What's the difference?

Years of research and testing have shown that the optimal firmness of a mattress is around 6.5 on a 10-point scale. Almost anyone who sleeps on their side or back, as well as the majority of people who sleep on their stomach, will have a good night's sleep on such a mattress. Matching the firmness of a mattress to one's weight is absurd and has no rationale basis, as we have mentioned multiple times before. The points where weight is concentrated are distributed proportionally across the entire surface of the mattress that comes into contact with the body. Therefore, the same mattress will ultimately function in the same way, in home conditions, for individuals of different heights and weights.

However, there are people who are not convinced by this knowledge. Among them are myth enthusiasts who believe that the firmer the mattress, the better it is for the spine. They are not interested in the fact that the spines have a different opinion and may require intensive rehabilitation and frequent visits to an orthopedist over time. There are also those who say, "I like a soft mattress, it suits me." Generally, these individuals end up visiting doctors even faster and more often. But it is difficult to win against preferences in such cases. For these individuals, the Osaka Air mattress will definitely not be the best choice because it is designed to properly support the spine in a physiological position. Therefore, it will not meet the expectations of those who do not want that.

Why make decisions on my own? The salesperson knows better!

There's no need to pretend. Making decisions on your own is the domain of flat-earthers and conspiracy theorists. In the real world, when it comes to choosing a mattress, it's best to entrust the task to a specialist. Preferably someone who lacks technical and medical knowledge, as they might bore us with details. Let it be a sales specialist, as catalog knowledge should be sufficient for us. Besides, they have attended a training session organized by the manufacturer, who prioritizes customer satisfaction over profit. And the instructor is so handsome... The trainer was a great salesman. Immortal beauty resides in his words, captivating everyone. Still want to argue with him? OK, let's be clear. What the hell do you know about mattresses?

Nothing? Exactly. Most salespeople don't know much either. But at least they know how to sell it to you and make a good profit. And that's highly appreciated. Learn, learn, because knowledge is the key to power. Why bother researching and comparing? Besides, it's often impossible to make such comparisons because many mattress stores offer exclusive models that you won't find anywhere else. Pure coincidence, no name game involved. And the best ones are those from the store's private label. Moreover, it often happens that an empathetic salesperson generously offers a 70% discount on a mattress, selling it at a loss for the company. You can't miss such an opportunity! Fraud? Well, who deceived me then? Sir? No. So if not the gentleman who deceived me, then I deceived myself. After all, you didn't provide me with all the parameters, and I didn't ask. And that's that.
 

 
We also need to pay attention to the fundamental matter. Making decisions on your own has become simply outdated. Nowadays, no one makes decisions by themselves. It's challenging to make a decision about a mattress when you try it out in your bedroom. Especially when you buy the Osaka Air mattress, it will be very difficult. How can you evaluate a mattress when you don't wake up during the night and only get up in the morning? Where's the time for observation?

Moreover, everyone knows that testing a mattress in your own bedroom is simply extremely irresponsible. What kind of test is it when we're asleep? We're completely relaxed and unable to consciously control our movements. Only in a physical mattress store can we expect ideal conditions. These conditions primarily include sleeping in clothes, which is a new trend that came to us from Western countries. Moreover, new studies suggest that it's better to be completely tense during sleep, or even not sleep at all. Admittedly, this won't allow us to regenerate, but we'll have greater control over the mattress's behavior. And that's all that matters!

Many salespeople also have the most extensive experience as they own a ton of properties. Don't believe it? Well then, let's meet Andrzej, a mattress salesman. Customers come to Andrzej who sleep in completely diverse conditions - in cottages, in apartment buildings, in tenements, on the ground floor, on the upper floor, in the attic, in a cold bedroom, in a warm bedroom... Andrzej tells each of them that they sleep in exactly the same conditions on the proposed mattress, and it performs perfectly. Although we don't really know Andrzej at all, he surely doesn't lie!

Andrzej also has a special power, highly useful when it comes to buying a mattress, which is a gift from all the gods. It's true that he's not the only one with this gift, but that doesn't stop him from feeling extraordinary. The power Andrzej possesses allows him to choose a mattress with one hand. Just by placing his hand under your back, he already knows. What does he know? Well, that this mattress is the best and you must buy it. Don't ask how this test relates to the actual conditions during sleep. Just buy it because it will help Andrzej earn the most. And get up as quickly as possible, or you'll sweat too much.

Saving? What's that for?

But why save money? After all, what's more expensive is always the best! To paraphrase the classics: Not at all! Who needs it? And why? A good mattress at a good price is something different. Of course, visco foam in the top layer of the mattress might have its drawbacks, but in a different way. After all, everyone enjoys lying on it after lunch. The lady likes it, and I probably do too, but there's no saving there...
 
 

Meanwhile, our Osaka Air mattress is offered at a fair price. Its price structure consists primarily of high-quality highly elastic foam and a multi-directionally flexible mattress cover. This ensures that it remains functional for many years to come. Despite this, we have not marked it up, unlike most stores where markups can reach up to 1000%.

But why bother saving and buying a good mattress for 4000 Polish złoty, when you can buy a poor mattress for 3500 Polish złoty or, worse, an average mattress for 15,000 Polish złoty? Is it because it will sag? That the spine will hurt? That you'll have to buy a new one in 2 years? Let's not exaggerate. Who would be concerned about such details? Saving is a thing of the past, as thanks to the social and economic changes that have occurred in the 21st century, we all live in prosperity.
Let us hurry to support large corporations, so that they may enrich themselves more quickly.
For particularly resilient consumers who don't like to save money or prioritize their health, we especially recommend mattresses that exceed 6000 Polish złoty in price. Admittedly, in most cases, every penny above this amount is pure markup, but it's worth it to help ourselves. If we don't have to worry about saving, then why shouldn't we share our money with wealthy corporations that prey on us? Can't afford it? Exactly.

Touching the goods belongs to the toucher!

Well, let's not beat around the bush. I think everyone likes to touch and feel things sometimes. For such individuals, the Osaka Air mattress is indeed a suitable choice because after ordering, it can be tested for 100 days under normal conditions. But what about those who prefer to buy a cat in a bag...? Fortunately, many sellers cater to them by limiting or preventing returns. And there are many ways to go about it. There's something "good" for everyone!

For such individuals, I primarily recommend buying a mattress from a physical store. It's dark everywhere, silent everywhere... What will it be, what will it be? Most often, it simply means no possibility of return. Alternatively, you may get a hastily offered small discount in exchange for waiving that option. While some stores do offer mattress returns for in-store purchases, it is very rare to find them without unfavorable conditions hidden in fine print. Only later do you realize that the return is actually an exchange for a more expensive model, which is only allowed once. Or perhaps it involves paying for the alleged disposal fee or, worse, the requirement to reintroduce it into the market.

But even in online stores, the situation isn't rosy. It's common for their terms and conditions to prohibit mattress returns, considering it a sealed hygienic product that cannot be returned—contrary to the law. One often encounters absurd conditions for accepting returns, such as the requirement to test the mattress without opening the plastic packaging or re-rolling the mattress using a press with a pressure of 20 tons. Therefore, to adventure seekers, I recommend such sellers. The fun with them is endless.

Take sleep seriously!

As it is known, in every meeting, there is a situation where someone has to start first. In the mattress industry as well, someone has to be the first to treat customers honestly. Someone should change the face of the industry. This industry. And consequently, stimulate consumer awareness to change the rest as well. Because we all deserve it. Period.

FAQ: Our mattress

Which mattress is the healthiest for sleeping?

The healthiest mattress for sleeping is a foam mattress that has multiple layers of high-resilience foam with appropriate firmness and density. It is recommended to have a layer of viscoelastic foam in the second layer of the mattress, with an efficient ventilation system underneath. With the right design, such a mattress will provide optimal support for the spine and ensure the highest comfort during sleep.

How much do you need to pay for a good mattress?

For a good mattress in the size of 140x200 cm, you should expect to pay at least 3000 PLN (~650 euros). For a good mattress in the size of 160x200 cm, the price can reach up to 4000 PLN (~850 euros). Cheaper mattresses often do not provide sufficient quality. At the same time, mattresses offered at prices above 6000 PLN are too expensive, and their price likely consists mostly of profit margin. It is important to familiarize yourself with the pricing structure of the mattress and always question overly large discounts.

Which mattresses are the most comfortable?

The most comfortable mattresses are high-resilience mattresses, which are mainly made of open-cell high-resilience foams (HR). For proper mattress fitting and optimal comfort, a layer of memory foam (V) should be placed in the second layer, along with an active ventilation system. The most comfortable mattresses have a universal firmness that falls between 6 and 7 on a 10-point scale.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a mattress?

When choosing a mattress, you should pay attention primarily to the type of material it is made of. In addition, special attention should be paid to the firmness and density ratings. Many sellers refuse to disclose the parameters of the materials used in mattress production, covering them with proprietary names for foams or claiming company secrets, but disclosing these parameters is the obligation of the entrepreneur. It is also important to pay attention to the firmness of the mattress, its cover, and the warranty conditions.

Pocket spring mattress or foam mattress – which is better?

Foam mattresses are definitely better, as pocket spring mattresses are unable to provide proper body support and spinal alignment. Additionally, spring mattresses tend to make noise, transfer motion, and are flexible only vertically. Once the springs are compressed, they will not return to their original shape. Of course, not every foam mattress is good. It is important to avoid those that are made of closed-cell polyurethane foams (T) or have memory foam (V) in the top layer. The labeling of foam parameters used in each layer of such a mattress is crucial.
