Purchased a simmons beautyrest plush pillow top from Macy's in May of this year. The mattress was very comfortable however within two months it had sagged one and a half inches or more. My weight is 155lbs and I am a side/back sleeper. Macy's took the mattress back and instead of exchanging for another plush, I decided on a Simmons beautyrest firm mattress figuring that it would be less likely to sag.

The simmons firm mattress turned out to be the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on and I am planning on returning it. At present, I am sleeping on the bed in the guest bedroom. My recommendation, stay away from simmons mattresses.

Am considering a memory foam mattress and came across a "Diamond" royalty memory foam for $1288 at a local store here in the Bay Area , however I have not been able to find any reviews for this brand and the quality. I read the Diamond warranty online and they do not accept returns for body impressions, so this is a red flag. Have another week left to return the simmons to Macy's for another mattress or exchange for something different, subject to a 10% return fee and delivery. I may just opt for a straight return for the time being and try one of those foam pads on the guest bed. Any suggestions on where to purchase a foam pad?

I have been finding that trying to buy a decent mattress is even more challenging than buying a new car. The main problem appears to be poor quality in materials in all the brands, unless you are willing to spend several thousands of dollars. Salespeople I have talked to in various stores have not proved to be very helpful either, and seem more concerned with making a commission that the customers satisfaction.

Don't do it Diamond won't stand behind it and in five years you will be left with nothing but back aches and end up buying something else !
