Need to buy a new mattress
HI, I am new to the forum. Hubby and I bought a Sealy Influence king size mattress a year and a half ago and it was a very firm mattress. Hubby did not like it. We have given that mattress set to our 14 year old son. Two weeks ago, hubby and I went and bought a Select Comfort 5000 king size bed. I HATE it. Hubby likes it, doesn't love it but he likes it much better than the Sealy. The select comfort I feel is a glorified air mattress and it is hurting at the top of my spinal cord along my shoulder area. I called Select comfort today and they are coming to get it in about a week. Testing that mattress is costing us about $400. Now I am in search of a new mattress set. I went to a Serta store and really didn't like any of them. I did go to another mattress store that carried several brands and really like the Simmons Beautyrest Black. The king size is about $2,800 and I am going to try and get the manager to go down a little on that price. I did try the Tempurpedic and we both did not like that. We like a firm but a little soft mattress. The salesman lead us to the Simmons and we both liked it. I need to check out Sealys before we make our decision. Anyone have any advice for us? I didn't realize how hard making a decision on a mattress would be. Thanks Laura |
Re: Need to buy a new mattress
Thank you so much for your replies. I am going to the mattress store tommorrow and going to check it all out. I had done some research and found that the latex pillowtop is the best. Who makes a mattress with a latex pillowtop? For some reason, I think I remember the sales guy telling me that the pillow top was latex but I am going to make sure before I buy. The Sealy Influence that we had did not have a pillowtop and it was a very HARD mattress. I did buy a really thick pillowtop mattress cover for it but hubby still did not like it. I just don't want to end up buying another hard mattress. Thanks again!!!!1 |

Consider all latex options from forum sponser FloBeds or internet based SleepEZ. Their component approach allows you fine tune your mattress for your needs and you'll end up with a bed that will last for many years. |
