Does this make sense?
Does this phrase make sense?
Our superior designed mattresses?
Even if I changed it to Our superior engineered mattresses - that still does not read right to me, is it jsut the word 'superior' that makes it read like this?
If it does not make sense, what other word could I use instead of designed or engineered to go with superior? It just does not read right to me? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sue

Hi, I think you really need an adverb before designed. But even if you changed superior to superiorly it would still not sound right to me. Perhaps using some other word would help.

- The word peerlessly comes to mind and you might also consider changing the whole thing to something like Our mattresses which are superior in design (or something similar to that)

How about: Our mattresses are scientifically designed for superior body support and comfort.
I don't like the sound of "superiorly designed" for some unexplainable reasons. I prefer using superior as an adjective, such as "superior quality", "superior design" and "superior comfort".
