Glad to have found this forum! Last month I bought a mattress for the first time in 15 years. Needless to say things have changed and I was very confused by all the choices. I tested out a S&F Pillow top plush double sized mattress and box spring and fell in love. I've now had it since Apr 20 and can say I haven't slept so well in many years. It's like sleeping on a cozy soft cloud and all the aches and stiffness I had on my old bed are gone. However, I started to look around the net (should have done that first but I had no idea there was such a dizzying array of mattresses!) and have seen hundreds of very bad reviews about ALL brands of pillow top mattresses. The complaints are all the same : Serious sagging and deep indentations after as little as 3 or 4 months. I am now very worried since this set wasn't cheap and I don't want to be fighting with the company a year down the road. I'm not a fussy person and just want a good night's sleep. I was thinking that perhaps because my mattress is not large like a queen or king, the sagging might not occur but I hate to take that chance. I'm not particularly large (140lbs), sleep on my stomach and use the bed alone, if these facts are useful. I have until June 20 to return it. If anyone can give any sort of definitive answer, I'll be very grateful! |
"I didn't realize this forum was for DIY" I don't recall anyone saying this forum is for DIY only. I have tested a S&F pillowtop in a store and it felt lovely, but I didn't want springs. IMO you have a good mattress; I've heard mostly good reviews in regards to S&F. Like another poster has stated already, its the foam in the pillowtop that will more than likely degrade first. |
