HI Folks, I am about to give up mattress surgery and try another mattress. My continuous coil Sealy reserve springs don't have enough accommodation for my side sleep, and combos of latex, memory and PU are just not cutting it. I demoed two 2011 models at MattressFirm today.... with individiual pocketed coils, titanium progressive spring system: Irresistable Tight Top Cusion Firm... which felt very good and not that different from the Excitement Plush. According to the sales person, the tags and the website, the Plush has thinner coils and .79 inch of latex on top + 1 inch of PU, + 2x .75 inch of "Core" (more PU). The cusion firm has 2 inches of PU on top. I still have a boatload of 1 inch toppers.... 14 ILD, 20 ILD latex, 4 lb mem foam, 5 lb mem foam, 5.3lb mem foam, supersoft PU, eggcrate supersoft PU, 1/2 inch soft PU from the original Plush Sealy reserve.
Just wanted to know if anyone has tried these before adding another %850-1100 to the $6 grand I have spent thus far. These look and feel quality, and from what I have read, these include fixes on many complaints. Prior to my recent 4 years of mattress hell, we slept exclusively on Simmons Beautyrest, which had pocketed coils... much more give.... And it was fine for a long time until my sweet bride talked me into replacing it with a rock hard firm. If I could stand a few more months of not sleeping, I would wait for the prices to come down on a product that has only been out a couple of months. But if this is the better mousetrap that it seems to be, they might not drop that much for a while.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hi Paul, Sorry to hear that you are still struggling. I agree with you that the interlaced Sealy Reserve is probably not the best for side sleeping. If I were starting over, I would want to try pocketed coils. I have compensated by having 5" of foam above the coils. So, it feels more like a foam bed with a firm base. It works pretty well for me, with plenty of support yet reasonably soft. At some point I might want to get a used pocketed coil mattress to try surgery on, but pretty happy right now. I don't know anything about the models you are looking at. Anything that has much PU foam would now make me hesistant. |
