Dear Mr. Frontone:
The University recently completed the first new
dormitory to be built on campus in forty years,
the Max Palevsky Residential Commons. One of my
tasks was to select and purchase all the
furnishings. This new dorm houses 738, mostly
freshman, students.
We have always tried to provide our residents with
clean, comfortable dorm rooms. Of course with
thousands of students to house, we can't afford to
provide a new mattress every year for each
student. We have tried plastic or vinyl
mattresses, but alas, they don't breathe very well
and they would split in less than one season. We
also received complaints that they were hot and
sticky. Cloth covered mattresses are the most
comfortable, but again they will stain, and
although still perfectly sound, they must be
disposed of when stained.
We discovered MyBed mattresses. We bought a few as
replacements and realized our mattress problems
were solved. MyBed mattresses are perfect for
Residence Hall use! All of the exterior and even
some of the interior components are removable and
cleanable! What an ingenious idea. Extra stock of
mattresses can be kept to a minimum. A supply of
extra components is all you need. This saves
storage space, labor and money.
The MyBed mattress is also very comfortable,
classy looking and inexpensive. By looking in one
of our new dorm rooms, one would think we spent a
small fortune on mattresses, but as it turns out
they cost no more than any other cloth
mattress.
We face many challenges in the area of Student
Housing. Thank you MyBed for easing our burden.
Sincerely,
Terrence M. Nolan
Project Manager

Subject: Update on MyBed mattresses
John,
Just wanted to let you know that it's been almost
2 years now that we installed 740 MyBed mattresses
in our new Max Palevsky Residential Commons. In
the process of cleaning the buildings this summer,
we noticed that the mattresses look like they were
installed yesterday. We have not had to replace a
single mattress yet. They still look brand new!
My experience has been that after two years
probably ten percent would have to be replaced for
one reason or another. The MyBed mattresses
continue to provide us with quality and value.
Thanks again.

John,
Thanks for your follow-through and excellent
product. We're excited about offering myBed on our
campus and we will pass student reaction on to you
in the future.
Just from the students who helped unload, the
comments have been extremely positive. One
recently married student even commented he had
left dorm life too early. Our office of Student
Personnel has been impressed with the quality and
the ability to change-out parts of the
mattress.
I've always been raised with the saying "you
get what you pay for." MyBed proves that
saying 100%. You can buy cheaper mattresses, we've
got them on our campus also, but this mattress
system is destined to keep our students happy and
well-rested.
Again, thanks for your assistance and the
mattresses. I trust we may be able to do
additional business in the future.
Always my best,
Terry D. Waltersdorf

John,
Since we have installed the MyBed mattress in some
of our residence areas, the request has been
"can we get one also!" Our students love
the comfort. When students walk into an empty room
the the first time even the looks of the mattress
says "quality" and "welcome
home!"
A female student with severe back pain was helped
by changing her mattress from our old type to the
new MyBed mattress. She says, "I can sleep
much more comfortably now and that can only help
my academics."
Thanks for making a premium quality mattress for
the institutional community. For a few dollars
more these mattresses tell our students we care
about their total campus experience.
Always my best,
Terry D. Waltersdorf

Dear Mr. Frontone:
Last summer we purchased MyBed mattresses for all
of our replacement and new beds in residence halls
and student apartments. We also purchased MyBed
mattresses for our residence life staff.
The response has been exclusively positive!
Students appreciate the extra thickness of the
mattresses and the extra length. Staff members
appreciate the ability to exchange mattress
components as needed.
One of our resident directors used to have trouble
sleeping in his bed and would often sleep on his
couch instead. He recently told me he has slept
great in his bed ever since we got him a MyBed
mattress! It has been comfortable enough to keep
him from sleeping on his couch at night, and now,
he even rises earlier in the morning and feels
well rested! He agrees they were a great
purchase.
We are currently planning to equip a new residence
hall. I will need to speak with you soon about
ordering even more MyBed mattresses to be
delivered next summer. Thanks for a great
product!
Sincerely,
Randall E. Dodge, Ph.D.
Dean of Students
