Mattress Forum

Here is my question: I have a firm Serta Perfect Sleeper Auburn Firm (continuous coil) .. but can pick up a firm Beautyrest for peanuts on craigslist.  I am inclined to pick up the firm Beautyrest because up till this (ouch) firm Serta (which I might sell for more than picking up the Simmons).... I have slept on Beautyrest mattresses for all my adult life and only started with the problems when I bought a too firm mattress to accommodate my wife.

I am guessing that I should experiment with the inexpensive Beautyrest as a base.. that it migh be in line with my previous positive experiences.

Or do you think that when I get the hard surface layer off the Serta Auburn Firm that I am expecting (like a layer of carpet from Carpets of Dalton...) ... that the Serta will be ok?  I already have a huge inventory of latex, pseudo memory, convoluted, etc. and just have to "stack it up."

PS.  Will be sleeping on the "Hybrid" 2" topper from Walmart tonight.

It feels pretty good.. but to we optimists, they all feel better than what we have now.. till we sleep on them.
