For some background: I have a bad back due to an injury years ago. My husband and I have been sleeping on a coil posturepedic for 5 years and in pain most of the time. We wanted to get a new mattress but were so confused and pressured each time we would agree to go on a mattress buying junket to try to find a mattress, we would just give up. Finally the pain was so bad that I was going from lazy boy to bed to couch and return so we decided that something finally had to be done...

I researched the internet form some two months, especially coming upon this site.

Cut to the chase - we fianlly decided to take a vacation to Detroit and visit the FBM store. I had called prior to our decision and they had told me that they do have a showroom and bed area.

When we arrived the building is exactly as the picture depicts. So far so good. We slept overnight after the reconnisence and went the next day early in the am. The factory is really a factory with foam everywhere it can be stuffed. There were racks and racks similar to those at Sam's club and the like just loaded with mattresses.

No one bothered us, in fact we didn't know what to do, so we just sarted taking down mattresses and laying on them to try them. As we were going from rack to rack (they have every foam type there, the LUX HD36, open cell closed cell memory foam slow memory foam fast, latex etc. Talk about confused. Someone must have seen us and a woman came over and asked it we would like to try the showroom to try the mattress out (dough).

We went into the "showroom" which was a 40' by 40' room with piles of all of the mattress types.

We spent hours and hours trying different combinations, ending with 6" talalay 5.6 density medium with 2" talalay topper 5.6 density medium. We went to the car to order by internet on my laptop - free shipping so we were not going to drag it home.

Ordered it last Friday got it yesterday, slept on it last night and I have never had such a good sleep. No pain WHATSOEVER. I didn't think that it could be possible any longer.

NOW, that being said, I can't speak to how the mattress would be for anyone else but I am one very satisfied customer..
