| Can anyone tell me the mattresses they are happy with that have lasted more than a couple of years and are still firm with no body impressions? No pillow tops either .. so tired of looking at mattresses and second guessing myself. |
| It sounds like you don't really want to spend any more money, but if you're stuck with that mattress and are trying to make the best of it with a comfortable top layer (and memory foam doesn't do it for you) you could go the latex topper route. Latex doesn't respond to your body heat like memory foam does, and you don't have that slow, sinking feeling. It is more expensive that most memory foam, though. A 3" King with zipper cotton cover will run you $508 (including shipping) from Sleep EZ. If you get an ILD you don't like (like if 19 is too soft), you should have the option of exchanging for another firmness, an advantage you don't have with memory foam. If you talk to Shawn there, he can advise you as to your best option of getting it right the first time. You can ask about different thicknesses as well. You can also try FoamByMail, which is cheaper, but I don't know anything about their return policy. Good luck! |

Original Mattress Factory Orthopedic Ultra Firm. Next one down is the Orthopedic Firm. There are a chain with regional markets near their factories. I have a friend who weighs 400# or more. He bought the Ultra Firm in 2007 and it's still holding up very well to him. He got the double row of foam cyliners at the edges, though, and they only offer a single row now due to flammability issues or something. |

I wanted the OMF Ortho Ultra Firm, but didn't have the money and am not done moving around the country yet, either. So I went cheap, buying a discontinued mattress. I'm happy with my setup, here: http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/i-love-my-new-cheap-mattress-/19536-0-1.html |

Consumer Reports doesn't post mattress reviews for a very good reason.
A Mattress is kind of like a specific size of shoe.
I love my size 10 Dockers. They're comfortable, have good traction, and are extra wide for my foot. If I poll 1000 random people, however, and have them try my size 10 extra wide dockers, a large percentage of them probably wouldn't like them. There is no best mattress. There's a best mattress FOR YOU.
That said, we're more than happy to help you find that one. |
