I am starting my search for a new mattress. My current mattress is around 10 years old (Simmons Back Care Entre) and I am starting to feel the springs when I sleep. I have flipped and rotated the mattress and still feel them. I do not know how long I plan to keep this mattress since right now I am living with my parents, but depending on job situation might move out in a year. When I move I plan to invest in a more expensive mattress (Sleepez/Flobed/maybe Carpe Diem, Vi Spring, or Hastens) and the mattress I buy now would be for when I visit. I weigh around 150 pounds and usually sleep on my stomach or side. I just want to get something that will help me get better quality sleep. Right now I am mainly looking at:
Costco in store $399 Novaform Gel Memory Foam Mattress Queen http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11621595&search=novaform+mattress&Mo=22&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=4000000&D=novaform+mattress&Ntt=novaform+mattress&No=6&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1 Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Mattress http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-12-inch-Memory-Mattress/dp/B003CT37L0 Original Mattress Factory Classic (if they deliver to NJ) http://www.originalmattress.com/classic/overview or an Ikea Mattress
I am not sure which base I would use for the memory foam though...
Any opinions or comments are appreciated.

I just ordred a mattress from Foam by Mail and it is great. The quality is actually better than the Latex International I have. Six inches of foam will cost you about $600 for a queen, plus I would recommend a 2" topper. I think you will be happy--certainly moe happy than with an IKEA IMHO. We also bough the Novaform Gel for my daughter and it is junk after two years. Sorry, I can't help you with the other ones. My exwife had a Hastens and it was too stiff for me. I had to ad a latex topper for comfort, but it was very high quality.

Now Costco has the Sealy Barryton Queen Mattress on sale for $480 after coupon (in store), I will most likely go for this, although it has a little more foam than I would like.
It seems like it should be decent for a few years and be a good candidate for mattress surgery down the line (when hopefully it will be in a guest room).

Just looking on Sleeys website and below is a link to 43 different mattresses that are within the budget you expressed. Hope this helps.

This is a good deal and may suit your needs: http://overnightmattress.com/memory_foam_mattresses/basic_mattress_free_shipping/index.asp?size=TWIN You don't need the foundation, you can put it right on the floor or on an old box springs. Or buy a cheaper foundation or make one. This message was modified May 1, 2011 by jimsocal

Watch out for memory foam! It creates "normal body impressions" that are often painful. |
