Mattresses

[David Inc.]

My wife and I got a Tempurpedic with their new cooling layers. It still warms up at night but it's not nearly as bad as they used to be. Very, very comfortable for sleeping and they last basically forever, but they're not great for bedroom activities.

About 4 years now. I used to not care too much when I would travel and sleep in a different bed, now I can't wait to be back in my own.

The memory foam top provides a nice slight cushion, but the innerspring is still very firm underneath, I really think it is the best of both worlds.

When we shopped for this bed, we went into Mattress Firm and laid in every single bed they had. We did it blind to price and picked this one. It may or may not have been the most expensive one in the store, but it was worth it.

I had a hand-me-down 20" memory foam and couldn't get up out of bed one day.
Sat there for half an hour trapped. I'd sunk deep into it my back was seriously tweeked. It hurt to even try.
Plus the thing stank.

A cheap Ikea box spring has been good for a couple of years.
Not the best but acceptable.

Great information, thank you! Definitely added to the list.

Also in the running now, thank you Paul. Bloomingdales is having a sale, one example:

Shifman Metropolitan Stanton Pillow Top Plush Mattress Collection - 100% Exclusive

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Went to Bloomingdales tonight to try out the Shifman mattresses. This is going to be tough and will be going back with my pillows. Laid on both handmade and machine made versions, pillow tops, bare mattresses, ultra firm, firm and medium firm. The winner of all of them may be the machine made ultra firm (it was like plywood but REALLY comfortable plywood) with a separate thin pillow top. I have no idea who would sleep on it without a pillow top added on. And I love a firm mattress.

All beds felt great and that was part of the problem. I could sleep on all of them. Even with the 45% sale, the handmades were PRICEY. But they are 20 year mattresses.

I asked about the Stearns & Fosters and the woman helping me said they were for guest rooms. LOL! I laid on a few and they felt fine. I think quality has gone down with them with so many sagging reviews over a few years. Mine too 20 to sag.

Tried a Kluft too which was nice.

Looking forward to trying Garrett's Beautyrest. Have until July 4 for the Bloomingdale sale. I am pretty sure my favorite mattress isn't made. Firm with one pillow top. The handmade beds have pillow tops on both sides for flipping. Apparently if I get a base vs. a box spring, the handmades will be firmer which I like.

I can't believe how lucky I got with my old mattress.
