What did I learn from the course?
When I first joined I didn’t know anything about beds and I was wondering how we could possibly stock so many mattresses. “Surely they’re all the same?” was one of my first thoughts! However, the Introduction to Beds course taught me that I couldn’t be more wrong.
I am now able to highlight the differences between mattresses and the benefits they provide. The course has also enabled me to write product advice and blog articles that help you choose the right mattress and become a sleep expert like me.
