    Excuse me, where did I mention Esca ?

    That link is about mattress reviews and if you can believe the reviews or not as it appears that the review company is actually financed by the manufacturer of the mattress concerned. Nowhere do I mention or slate Esca . By the way I would not consider Esca or any of these companies competition for us as we can sell similar products to theirs for 1/3 of their price so not much competition there I would think.

    You’re posting in an Easca thread. You’re commenting about companies that sell Easca type mattress’s. You’ve let your company down.

    Regarding price, anyone can sell cheap, especially unknown brands that nobody has ever heard of.

    In fairness, the title of the thread is about Easca Mattresses. It's safe to presume a link discussing memory foam mattresses in a thread about memory foam mattresses is aimed at the company mentioned in the title.

    I see your point but that was not the intention at all. Other guys on here mentioned us on this thread and we were only responding. I can't comment on Easca as I have very little knowledge of that company but as regards some of the other vacuum packed companies that were mentioned, I can comment that when I go to UK on buying trips I see lots of these other vacuum packed mattresses that were returned under the 100 nights trial. I am reliably informed that the model of these companies are, very intense advertising campaigns (which the buyers are paying for ) and that they are budgeting for a certain amount of returns and they don't mind this as the price is inflated from the start so they don't care about some returns.

    I honestly wish Easca the best of luck in their business venture. They are not major competition for us.

    Let's not lose the plot here now completely Fr. Dougal.

    It's a thread about mattress's and the chap is an expert in the field.

    I was told by a senior poster on here that he was very helpful and sold quality products at very reasonable prices to a lot of posters on here over the years, when I contacted him that's exactly what I found.

    Who are you to tell him what threads he can and cannot post in? He's a member here the same as the rest of us with the big difference being he doesn't post anonymously and has a great business reputation.

    "You've let your company down", what kind of a statement is that?

    He’s not a member here like the rest of us, his opinions are biased as he wants to sell his products. He has an advertisers account here.

    There was no need to run down these type mattresses, people have bought them and are quite happy with them. They sell direct and not via resellers such as bigmickey.

    It’s pretty pathetic that you have to come on here to slate a competitor. Esca sell directly, so I can understand why you have the hump about them, no money for you.

    How many times have you posted that link at this stage? Must be at least 4 times.

    He didn't slate Easca and the reply was to someone who mentioned big Mickey.ie in their post so I'm not understanding where your coming from.
    For the record I've not bought anything from bigmickey.ie but the missus has and she was very impressed with them.

    Haha.. I was in a similar situation to you a few years ago... posted a recommendation about a mattress I bought from a different company and was immediately trolled.

    Sure there's only one name in mattresses on boards dontcha know?

    What gets me is that direct selling via Bargain Alerts is in direct contravention of the charter

    Take €100 Off | Use Code: SLEEPTIGHT

    https://www.eascamattress.ie

    After reading this thread, I will contact Big Mick for a new super king memory foam gel cooled mattress for 1/3 of the price. So about 250 euro then.

    Just checked the Big Mick website, what I looked for cost between 700 and 1000 for a super king size and dont even have cooling down or turn mattress. Might as well buy from Easca and get a 10 year warranty and 100 day try out.

    Hi Everyone,

    I bought an Easca double mattress though a youtube advertisement which has now been explained to me as an affiliate advert of Easca. That seemingly means that if you use that discount code that the person promoting it gets commission if you buy and may not even own one of these Easca mattresses themselves. Anyways there was a bad smell of it when opened. I only used it for 20 nights and had to revert to the spare room. After buying it I did not use it for over 2 months as I was moving to UK from Dublin and was stored unopened during this time but this should not make any difference. The smell is not as bad but still quite strong. Has anyone else experience this ?

    I don't find it worth 700 euro and that with the smell asked them to take it back. They said I should have asked them sooner but my correspondence to them shows that I was on time. What concerns me also is that they say they are an Irish company but I can only find links to a UK office. Any help appreciated

    We have our Easca mattress now for 5 days and I dont smell anything anymore. And it didnt smell bad to begin with. The IKEA mattresses we have smelled a lot longer.

    Have mine about 2 months now and no smell here too... A very slight one on day 1 but gone very quickly after.

    Deffo keeping it, as to be honest my back is very thankful for this mattress as after just two weeks I'm no longer waking at night up (or in the morning) in pain.

    Ours didn't smell bad, just of chemicals. Lasted about a week. Definitely not right to have it still smelling that long.

    In the market for a Euro King size mattress: 160cm (w) x 200cm (l)

    Not an easy size to find.

    Dealing with Ikea was a total mare so we gave up.

    Mattress.ie - you ring both numbers and the voice answers immediately and says, "You cannot leave a message. The mailbox is full." Not encouraging! When a guy did eventually answer, he tried to sell me something I didn't want, saying he could get that model in the Euro King size we're after. Seriously underwhelming. Tried to buy via PayPal on their site, for some security, but there is no option to book takeaway of the old mattress, which he said they offer. (So do Ikea by the way - but, not over the phone. And, when you go to their store to book collection of the old mattress, they tell you they don't offer the service. Cowboys - strictly for the purchase of small items only.)

    Bigmickey.ie - where on that site can I confirm how big a mattress actually is? I must be going blind.

    Easca.ie - I like the site and the look of the product - they have one in the size we need - €695 with reduction. But, no mention of collecting the old mattress, and all this talk here of a "smell" is a little disconcerting.

    Memoryfoamwarehouse.ie - ideally, we'd like pocket-sprung/medium-firm, which they don't seem to have.

    So, looking like Easca at the moment, unless I'm convinced otherwise.

    D.

    Easca don't honor their warranty...

    I have been trying to return my Easca mattress, but they have been ignoring my emails.
    They also stopped replying on Facebook after I had told them it's about a return.
    They only replied once saying that the 100 days have passed, but my very first email was within 100 days...

    I have been looking for their CRO number for the Small Claims case, but looks like they are not registered in Ireland..

    Yes, I checked their website, they have an Irish VAT number, but a UK address.

    I also tried to call them a while back (didn't get through), but I think it should be a reasonable expectation in 2018 that a company replies to emails or FB messages.

    Their products are vastly overpriced. You can buy a top of the range Sealy single on Littlewoods for almost two hundred less than an equivalent from Easca.

    We got one of these a few months ago. I got 50 quid off on a voucher like that above, but no further discount.

    They're well made and very comfortable, it takes about a week to get fully settled and about a month for the weird smell to disappear, but I'd definitely get another one.

    @OldBean what would you say about your easca mattress now a year later?

    I'm still pretty happy overall. I said it before, but I still feel there's a little too much memory to the memory foam, and their claim of 6/7 out of 10 for firmness is a little off, I'd be saying 5 at most. I'd like if the cover was easier to clean, or at least easier to remove the top so we can clean it.

    We (unknowingly) had a broken bed slat up until recently and I was beginning to doubt the mattress. After a new bed and the premium Ikea bed slats, it's sleeping like a dream again.

    We're currently about 18 months into it, and we'll definitely get another year if not another 18 months out of it, but I can see us getting a new mattress around then, and I'm not sure if it'd be another Easca. Still, €545 with the discount over two years works out at less than €1.50 a night. Not a bad investment.

    I would love a bit more clarity on where they're based and the product - If it's rebranded Casper, etc I'd rather just know.

    I have a negative experience with them as a company. I wanted to return it within their 100 day trial. I sent initial email in june, and it hasnt been resolved still.
    They have replied to:
    Zero emails
    Zero voicemails
    Zero facebook messages.

    Ive managed to reach them over phone only a few times - first they said they will contact me with a pickup date within a week - never happened. In last conversation i offered either they collect it or i keep it against partial refund - they said they have to think about it and will ring me back tomorrow. They never rang.

    99% times when i ring - its "everyone is busy at EASCA, please leave a message"

    Hi savage Henry,

    I experienced the exact same treatment as yourself. No refund, i couldn't even use it in the spare room because of the smell and it actually cost me more money to get rid of the essca mattress.

    I actually bought a new mattress from a high street shop since and the owner of the shop explained to me that these "mattress in a box" are costing the like of essca, simba, eve and casper less than £100 to obtain and then with there discount codes and affiliate advertising campaigns are selling them to the likes of fools like us for and extortionate price, he also said the mattresses are extremely bad for the body and offer zero support. He told me that all of these companies partake in the practice of fake reviews and less than ethical practices, just google "Casper buys review site" they are all at it.

    I feel your pain Henry but it gives me some comfort that i was not the only one taken in by their nonsense.

    I hope you get it resolved

    It's obviously worth noting that the guy who told you this has a vested interest in people not buying these mattresses as it cuts him out.

    In the end we went with Ikea. While they were a mare to deal with regarding their non-existent old mattress collection service; once we accepted that we’d have to make alternative arrangements, everything else with Ikea was fine. (They delivered the mattress to the wrong address, but sorted it quickly.)

    The mattress is superb. Firm as a yoga mat, which we love. Price is unbeatable.

    We used http://ecomattressrecyclingireland.com/ to take away our old mattress. A dream to deal with. We were even able to leave the mattress in the porch, so we didn’t need to be there when they collected it.

    Which Ikea mattress did you go with and do they do the same type as Easca?

    We bought an Eve Hybrid kingsize mattress last year for 599e (currently 20% off at mo) after Which? magazine rated it as a best buy. The Eve is similar to the Caspers/ Easca etc. type mattresses.

    Large hubbie absolutely loved it and back troubles (whether coincidentally or not) seemed to disappear while we had it. Small wife found it too hard and too smelly (hubbie never noticed smell) and after a month (you have to try it for 30 days before you can return it) of no sleeping the mattress had to go.

    Eve collected it no problem and said it would take a week or two for inspection and refund to process. After about two weeks we contacted them to remind them about the refund and refund was processed the next day.
    While the mattress didn't work out for us we were very happy to have been able to try it out. If Eve had offered a dual firmness mattress like Sleeping Duck or Tweak duo we would have been happy to try that out rather than returning it completely.

    After going through a few mattresses over the last 10 years we are on the look out for a standard dual firmness mattress now but the thoughts of buying one without a 100 money back trial is putting me off.

    I saw one advertised during the night on one of those shopping channels (the joys of insomnia). :)

    It had a split format where you can make each half soft/hard by orienting your half of the mattress a certain way. Seemed like a clever idea. I think it was about £500 or 3 installments of £167-ish.

    100 day trial, money back guarantee, free delivery, free collection (if required).

    If I see the ad again, I'll make a note of the brand.

    Screenshot_1.png

    And in turn getting a kick back from everyone that buys using it. This is how i got roped in by dishonest practices like this. DO NOT TRUST AFFILIATES they are only interested in lining their own pockets.



    Surly there are rules against this??

    I know they go through go.Skimlinks.com, but when the link you provided goes to Skimlinks and redirects to the Dormeo website look at the link in the address bar, its an affiliate link.

    If not you, then someone is getting a kickback, maybe boards? and that is nearly worse as these mattresses are dubious at best.

    Yeah, boards get some money if anyone buys from that link. Who cares?
    Links are automatically generated if Skimlinks have a deal with that site.

    All I can say is that it isn't me (and I'm not seeing the affiliate link either):

    Nope, not for me.
    Maybe I opted out of skimlinks years ago. Can't remember.

    Anyway, this is off topic. It isn't me adding the google variables.
    Back to mattress talk.

    Hi Everyone,

    I bought an Easca double mattress though a youtube advertisement which has now been explained to me as an affiliate advert of Easca. That seemingly means that if you use that discount code that the person promoting it gets commission if you buy and may not even own one of these Easca mattresses themselves. Anyways there was a bad smell of it when opened. I only used it for 20 nights and had to revert to the spare room. After buying it I did not use it for over 2 months as I was moving to UK from Dublin and was stored unopened during this time but this should not make any difference. The smell is not as bad but still quite strong. Has anyone else experience this ?

    I don't find it worth 700 euro and that with the smell asked them to take it back. They said I should have asked them sooner but my correspondence to them shows that I was on time. What concerns me also is that they say they are an Irish company but I can only find links to a UK office. Any help appreciated

    Hi savage Henry,

    I experienced the exact same treatment as yourself. No refund, i couldn't even use it in the spare room because of the smell and it actually cost me more money to get rid of the essca mattress.

    I actually bought a new mattress from a high street shop since and the owner of the shop explained to me that these "mattress in a box" are costing the like of essca, simba, eve and casper less than £100 to obtain and then with there discount codes and affiliate advertising campaigns are selling them to the likes of fools like us for and extortionate price, he also said the mattresses are extremely bad for the body and offer zero support. He told me that all of these companies partake in the practice of fake reviews and less than ethical practices, just google "Casper buys review site" they are all at it.

    I feel your pain Henry but it gives me some comfort that i was not the only one taken in by their nonsense.

    I hope you get it resolved


    The above two posts are why i care, its a ****ty practice conning people out of their money for a ****ty product.

    I’ve broken the quote on purpose, there was no affiliation in Mr E’s post.

    No but when you hit the website it becomes an affiliate link and liked mentioned it seems to be coming from Skimlinks, so boards are getting the kick back not Mr. E
