We live in a time when many people look to international products, especially those sold online, just to find cheaper options. Yes, these are tough economic times, but often when purchasing such things, one is not even sure what one will get, yet many still take a chance simply because of possible savings.
There are some things, however, on which you should not ever compromise, especially when it comes to your health. Just as you would not buy medication that you weren’t sure about, neither should you buy a mattress that doesn’t have a good name because your sleep is just too important. This is only one reason why South African-made mattresses matter! There are plenty more, so let’s look into them…
Why buy South African?
Before we even talk about mattresses specifically, let us just examine why we should always be buying South African products in general.
The boomerang effect – Buying local means ensuring that, even in tough times, more people will have jobs and more businesses will survive. Perhaps this costs you a little more, but you directly benefit in the long run by having a better chance of having a job, or keeping your job, and with more people in jobs, this boomerang effect ensures that the economy starts to thrive. More businesses are born, creating more jobs…You get the idea, I’m sure!
Quality is assured – When people buy South African products, boosting the local economy, it means there is less chance of manufacturers cutting corners to save on costs. The highest quality is always assured when money is circulating, and the best components can go into every mattress, exactly like every Truform mattress, where quality is never compromised.
South Africans understand South Africans.
Now, getting down to why we should buy SA mattresses specifically: good South African mattress manufacturers understand South African climatic conditions and their specific needs. Hot climates, for example, require more breathable fabrics – and those big- boned rugby players demand tougher springs and firmer support.
Additionally, we support the environment by buying local to avoid the extensive transportation of goods, which can greatly reduce the carbon footprint, and by supporting responsible mattress manufacturers who ensure as much of the mattress as possible is recyclable.
