jh225, The S&F Manhattan Reserve sounds like a good swap. Cushion Firm is comfortable with good support and if a little bit too firm for you, you can always add a topper.  Let us know how you like your new bed....

JH225, I would then choose the Firm S&F innerspring and get a latex topper to have the innerspring last the longest by having the least cheap foam in it.   Brylane also has a nice 1" Talalay Latex Topper that would help cushion up the Innerspring.  I had no idea that Sleepies did not sell the S&F Latex. But I think the set up of a latex topper over a very firm innerspring would work well for you.   I have allergies and the fire retardant stuff they use and the polyurethane bothered my allergies so I went with a 100% Talalay Latex Bed from FloBeds but if you do not have allergies, I think you will be comfortable adjusting the comfort level to your liking.Please keep us updated.   Please keep us updated....

Get something firm with very little padding and customize it yourself with a topper (or toppers). Unless you are spending thousands of dollars on a mattress, they ALL are made with low end foam that will start breaking down in a few months, or sooner. If your topper wears out it's, a lot easier and cheaper to replace than an entire mattress......

Please ignore and forgive Sager...he says that to a lot of posters with honest questions. I researched this site dozens of hours before I ever posted and after one of my posts, he wrote a similar rude comment to me as well.

I can tell you my story... After sleeping on a rock hard mattress for 20 years that started to produce bursitis and back pain, I eventually settled on a Sealy brand all latex mattress that I thought would be perfect. After a few weeks I still had to put a topper on it for comfort. I would recommend you both go to several different mattress stores together and both (at the same time) lie on a variety of mattresses. Try to find out what feels comfortable for you both. But the sad truth is, you cannot really tell about a mattress until after you sleep on it for awhile and...

The "S" brands get a lot of criticism here, although I have recently seen favorable comments about some of their newest latex offerings. Sealy owns S&F, btw, and their latex mattresses correspond to one another. Besides the info you...

Well, wound up swapping out my defective pillow top for a S&F Manhattan Reserve (cushion firm) from Sleepys Plaza line.

Made the deal at a store last night and they delivered it today. Got to give them credit for the swift delivery being that it came from Long Island 3 hrs away from me.

It is a pretty firm mattress and we will see how it sleeps tonight. I have the Dream Coil topper coming, so I will be able to try both ways.

Time will tell.

Well, I would love to get a S&F latex. Too bad Sleepys doesn't carry them. I called S&F HQ, Sleepys HQ today and Sleepys does not carry nor will they be carrying S&F latex mattress. The new ones come out in May and they will not be carrying those either. Sleepys tells me I can not get a refund, and I have 30 days to use my credit. I least I got full credit for the mattress.

Looks like I will have to get a S&F innerspring in a firm or cushion firm and get a latex topper.  I will probably get 2 of those JC Penney ones people are raving about and trim to fit my queen....

Next to buying a tombstone, this is probably the hardest decision you have to make.  Sadly, there are many people in my industry who take advantage of people and give all of us a bad name.  I will try to remedy that with some honest advice.

For the most part, the advice given on the welcome page is solid.  Follow those guidelines and your experience will be a good one.  As far as the types of beds, you generally have firm, plush, and pillowtop.  For many years, people were told the firmer the better.  This could not be further from the truth!  That myth led to generations of back problems.  It drives me crazy when a person comes in and says my doctor or my chiropractor told me to get the firmest bed you have.  I usually tell them to get a new doctor!  For the people who do not walk out on...

I do believe that is exactly what I need to do!  I do NOT want to buy another bed and trash this one.  I've returned TWO Restonics and gave away a 3 1/2 month old  Stearns and Foster in the last year alone.  Before that I gave away a nearly new latex mattress and a Select Comfort(to the kids, at least).  Ridiculous.  I'm at a point that if somebody sells me another new, expensive mattress that doesn't work, I'm going to see red! 
I just looked up your bedmaker...I used to live in Santa Cruz!   How fun!  Figures that a really good bedmaker would be there, LOL!  I'll have to take a road trip.
The reason I think it is the springs is that is the only part of this bed I haven't changed out.  Also, I have had good nights sleep on spring mattresses when I've been out of town. ...
