Memory Foam Mattress Confused! Help!
|
My husband and I are currently looking into purchasing a memory foam mattress but have found ourselves very confused with all the choices out there. We currently have a pillow top mattress that has formed a dip in the middle making the bed very uncomfortable to sleep in at night. I am a side sleeper so my arms have been falling asleep at night because the outside is higher then the inside of the bed so I am constantly rolling over on my shoulder and cutting the circulation off. We have visited a variety of mattress stores and have found that we like the memory foam mattresses the best. We would love to purchase a tempurpedic cloud but unfortunately we do not have the means to spend that much money on a mattress at this time. So we have been looking into comparable brands and styles of memory foam mattresses but have found ourselves puzzled on which one to choose. We have been looking at the 10 inch sleep innovations featured on amazon as well as the icomfort by Serta. We had the chance to lay on the icomfort this weekend at mattress firm and loved that it had a happy medium between being plush but yet still firm. I think where the confusion sets in is that we noticed that Sams club has a Serta by Sleep Innovations 10 inch gel memory foam mattress for a fraction of the cost at $499 in comparison to the icomfort at mattress firm running about $1299 - so we were wondering what the difference is between these two mattresses if there was one at all because if we can purchase pretty much the same mattress for the fraction of the cost then we would like to do so! The sleep innovations 10 inch memory foam mattress sold on amazon seems to also be pretty consistent in reviews - so we were confused which would be the better purchase and if this would be the same mattress as the one featured at Sams since it says its a serta by sleep innovations. I would greatly appreciate any feedback anyone can give us! If anyone can recommend a better mattress comparable to the tempurpedic cloud we would love to know! Thank you!! |

| Jt.. I really want to save you some grief later on.. there is a difference between the mattresses at Sam's & Costco.. just like being in a Hotel and you fall in love with that mattress and then buy that same one.. guess what.. NOT the same.. I personally after having some of the best memory foams out there and spending thousands of dollars to get a comfort level that felt good for a very short time higly recommend you either visit a friend that has one and spend a complete night in it.. or go to a Hotel that has them and get right in that bed for a couple of days.. I hated them.. it was a sink hole and never felt complete support for my back or hips.. not to mention moving around on them is a pain in the butt... If you are going to spend major dollars look at good latex or really good coil beds that have a decent padding but not too much on them and have superior coil count.. Never ever get swayed into a bed with a topper.. that's all you will buy is that topper as they congeal and then you have nothing. I am back in a coil and am happier than my previous ones and spent a lot less $$$'s not listening to the hype from all there is to choose from today.. I wish I had listened to those that told me but I said they don't know what they are talking about and now I know so much more especially with the dent it put in my check book.. Hope you make some intelligent decisions and give youself the time to really look at those memory foams.. they are not what you think.. Good luck.. |

| When you try out the display beds at some of th eoutlets and stores, you'll find that they are usually comfortable and when you receive your new mattress at hime it is not as comfortable. That's because the ones on display are broke in and comfortable. We bought a new memory foam mattress and it was very comfortable in the store but when we received ours at home it is the most miserable and pitiful excuse for a mattress we're ever slept on. I don't know if it'll ever be comfortable! |

That's so funny (Or not). I had the same thing happen when I bought a watch at Costco. The battery guy new right away it was a cheaper version than what he normally gets from jewelry stores. Makes me wonder what else I've gotten from Costco that is made with inferior parts. I'll stick with food, tissue, drink, and asperin when it comes to Costco. I also had the same experience with may memory foam mattress (Tempur. Allura). It took quite awhile for it to condition. Now it's hard to sleep on anything else. Try walking on it. It may be to firm if you have had it awhile and it has conditioned. Some complain they soften too much over time. I haven't had that experience. |
