I've been visiting this site on and off for 2 years or so. When I thought I found a bed I'd like something bad about it always surfaced. The foams are hot. They break down. Don't give the support they were looking for. Sinking feeling. Air bladders leak. Don't see any difference between the settings. Had to exchange foam pads several times to get it comfortable. It's time to replace our current bed. Actually it's been a long time since it should have been replaced. Remember the Serta mattress that had 10 bowling pins on it? They dropped a bowling ball on the Serta Mattress and none of the pins fell over. They also showed a full glass of wine on this mattress and then this guy jumps on the mattress and no wine spills. Well where are those bowling pins and glass of wine today? I could easily bowl a 300 or get drunk from spilled wine on that mattress now. It lasted maybe 5 years. It has been very uncomfortable for many years now. It looks like a soup bowl and my wife and cross our fingers that we don't fall through it every night. I'm done with spring beds. With all the searching I've done the last couple years I question how many reviews are from honest users and how many are from users who post multiple complaints under numerous names because they have a vendetta for the company. I don't wanna go through the hassle of sending foam pads back and forth to Arizona or California. I do consider spending $2000 or more on a mattress set a lot of money considering it cost $2000 for a new Chevy Vega. And $3 filled the tank!! I know we're all different and what works for one may not work for the other. I do hope whatever I finally decide to buy will help with my shoulder and hip pains because I'm tired of waking up achy. I will be buying something in the next couple of months. I just don't know what I'll be buying. But it won't have springs. |
| This Serta set is shot. It looks like a bowl. My parents always had a sheet of plywood between the mattress and box spring. I don't wanna go that route either. I want something comfortable and durable. So I'll test what I can by laying down on them in the stores. If I pay $2500 for something I don't like I'll go the cheap way next time and buy more often!! |

I am here to stick up for imjay and his waterbeds. We slept on one for 14 years and that was the full wave mattress with woodframe. Get real Leo! I (the wife) could burp that thing all by myself and you only had to do it a couple of times til the oxygen is out of a fresh fill of water. We had one very slow pinhole leak about halfway through the 14 years and hubby picked up a new bladder the next day for $50. Since we bought the original bed used for $100 and a new mattress for $50 for 14 years of warm comfy sleeping (not to mention the conception and nurturing of 3 children) it was a great comfortable bargain. Why did we change to an innerspring mattress? We moved to a home where we did not want the waterbed weight coupled with the fact that hubby and I were beginning to change and I wanted the bed softer and warmer and he wanted it firmer and colder. So began a 19 year odyssey of $1000 apiece king size beds. We were at least smart enough to buy the last king size with 2 separate mattresses along with the 2 foundations so we are now sleeping on a wacko bed with 2 different mattresses and 2 different foam toppers. Still neither one of us sleeps all that well. Alas, we are at a stage of life to be sleeping in separate beds, I guess. I am trying to decide between latex and the good old bladder waterbed. I just wonder...can I get a wave to roll and pop me up and out in the morning??!! :-D |
