Mattress Forum

I want a very soft, cozy, plush mattress but one that will give me the support I need when I sleep on my stomach and side.

My  husband was very skeptical at first when I told him about the mattress, but as soon as he laid on it in the store, he loved it. We both like soft mattresses and this one fits the bill. My husband is a stomach and side sleeper and he got the best 3 nights of sleep he has ever had since we purchased this mattress. On our old innerspring mattress, he tossed and turned all night long. The very first night of sleeping on this mattress, he slept in one position all night long. If you like a soft mattress, and want support, and no transfer of motion, I would go with the Ashley Sleep Ellis Bay mattress.

Also, I worked in the furniture and mattress industry for 2 years. I learned alot about companies and how products are made. Ashley is the leading manufacturer of furniture in the world. Don't let the 7 year warranty scare you as well. I know Tempurpedic has a longer warranty, but no matter how much you spend on a mattress, it is recommended to replace it every 8-10 years.

I will pretty much say that, hands down, you cannot go wrong with The Bed Boss mattresses.  They are certified "safe" by a company called CertPUR.  They are very well manufactured and they don't get lumpy or sag noticably over time either.  I own two different mattress styles - a queen Visco Heir ET and a king Visco Revolution.  We've had the ET for several years and it's such a good mattress that we decided to buy the Revolution with gel for the king bedroom set we just purchased.  Our Visco ET looks perfectly flat - just like it did when we got it a few years ago.  Make sure to verify for yourself.  If you need a 60 day comfort guarantee then you may want to go with Amazon, but let me say that if you somehow don't like the mattress you probably should stay away from ANY memory foam product altogether.  Also, I understand it's a real hassle anyway to have to return these things by having to package it for return shipping.  My suggestion is to go to Amazon and read all the reviews on The Bed Boss but use the coupon, buy direct and save a ton - compare prices yourself.  The Amazon reviews are real and you won't see too many negative ones because the brand is that good.  I hope this helped.  By the way, our 15" Visco Revolution with gel compares to the Tempurpedic Grandbed... but it's about $7000 cheaper!  Ha!  And it's soooo comfy and incredibly supportive!  These mattresses don't deteriorate over time like a lot of the cheaper made memory foam beds.  And don't forget to purchase a waterproof or water resistent protective cover.  Those covers will help the mattress last many, many years if you protect them from water spills and things.  Good luck! 

As far as Icomfort goes, again sourced out to the cheapest bidder.

Ashley and quality shouldn't even be used in the same sentence.  It's cheap imported garbage that is heavily marketed.  And we assume it's good quality.  You might as well buy from a cheap manufacturer like Coaster.  It comes from the same factory that makes Ashley (Think SE Asia).  You can buy Ashley from high quality places like Big Lots and Freddies for a lot less than an Ashley store itself.

Be wary of furniture and mattress sales people who recommend their own product.

The first furniture inspector showed up and said there was nothing wrong with the bed. He didnt even sit on it. He simply used that string and block device to see if a depression was present. After that, I called again, stated my case and asked they send someone out again and actually feel the mattress...you will notice that difference on the one side. Well, the second guy came out, measured, and I made him sit on the bed. Once he sat on the one side of the bed and then mine, he understood why we were complaining. A week later, Ashley called to let me know there was nothing they could do. I stated that I had the Palisades Memory foam mattress, and a "noticable depression" will not be visable, however when you lay on it, you sink. (The foam eventually bounces back and looks fine, but its noticable later when your trying to sleep in a crater). 5 minutes of holding later, they issued me a credit for the memory foam mattress and now, Im going back to pick out a new one this week. Back to spring mattress' I go. And hopefully I will sleep like a champ again!

Best advice....go Tempurpedic. Spend the extra money if you want memory foam.
