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.
