Englander? Anyone heard of these?
|
It's time to buy a new mattress and I remember about 4 years ago I had stayed at a fancy hotel and really liked their mattress. It turned out to be an Englander but the model of that one was not available and I couldn't get any info on it to compare it to the ones that were available. My question is, has anyone here had an Englander? Should I consider one? |

We ended up with an Englander Tension Ease (pocketed coil) model that is firm/firm plush and are looking for the perfect comfort layer for it. We almost bought the Lady Englander because of the heavy duty springs, but then decided to go for a latex mattress from another store. When the latex didn’t work out, we were locked into a comfort exchange from this same store which did not carry the Lady Englander line. Since pillowtops and mattresses with a lot of padding built in (according to hundreds of online reviews and complaints) end up breaking down in a short amount of time, we decided to add our own. The salesperson told us that he has had several people do the same thing: buying a firm innerspring then customizing the top layer themselves. It seems that if you were a heavy person, and found that latex or memory foam didn’t work for you, that the Englander might be a good bet, as the Lady Englander mattress has a coil gauge of 12.5 compared to the Simmons Beautyrest which has 15 gauge coils (lower number = heavier coil). The mattress we have has a 13.5 gauge coil and since we are lighter people I'm hoping that it's fine. The mattress is very supportive and has almost no motion transfer and is actually very comfy right now with our PU camping pads on top as a temporary solution for the cushion layer. |
