Mattress Forum

GREAT FORUM... this is m first post...

I am in a HUGE dillemma right now with my current mattress purchase. I had a saggy Serta mattress that they didn't warranty as it wasn't saggins 1.5" without any weight on it (a lot more if you slept on it). So, I decided to go out and get myself a new set. From past experiences with Serta and Sealy, I decided to go Simmons and pocket Coil.

I purchased a FIRM Simmons, World Class (980 springs), Medium Pillowtop (not as big of Eurotop, 1.5-2" top of memroy/latex mix). I took it home and slept on it... it feels OK if I sleep on my back, but I start on my side, and end up on my back... so now it's starting to hurt my shoulders as I get pressure points on it. My girlfried also doesn't like it as it's too hard for her.

So, then I started searching online and learned a lot, and also went back and tried literally EVERY bed in the store, I got 30-days for exhange! I AM NOW MORE CONFUSED THAN EVER! :(

My options are:

1. Get the same Simmons mattress with bigger pillowtop (Eurotop) to help with shoulder

2. Get a Stearns and Fosters Eurotop (kind of in between Simmong Eurotop, and my current Simmons)

3. Get a Stearns and Fosters Tighttop (no pillow top), and add a Natural Latext 2" Mattress Topper

I got the following questions:

- Is Simon/Fosters mid-range mattresses any better than Simmons World Class?

- Would Eurotop of 3-4" have any issues with long-term wear?

- If I want to get a Latex Topper, what's the best brand, best kind (weight), and where to get it from?

I am leaning towards #3, but I kind of DO NOT like a FLAT mattress topper underneath my sheets... just looks and feels cheap! Will also take away from the natural fibers of mattress as well as the convoluted shape. Is there a Latex topper that is covered like a mattress I can just add?

Thanks for any help and I appreciate quick responses as I have only 3 more days to exhange the mattress. I can't really return it (20% restocking fee).

Thanks in advance!
