Hello to all, I read as much as I could from old posts, but a lot of the posts I saw didnt help narrow anything down for me. I'll start by saying that I am looking for a medium-firm mattress in KING size. Not only do I like the feel of medium-firm and some plush-firms, I hear they are better for us back sufferers. I want to spend 2,000 or under TOTAL. I went today and slept on a TON of beds and found the most comfortable for me was the "SIMMONS BEAUTYREST World-Class Plush-Firm.......". It wasnt a pillowtop and had only a little padding on top the coils. I come to this site though, hoping to find good reviews, and am really disappointed. All reviews found here on the Beautyrest are negative. The only two mattresses I have ever had have BOTH been Sealy Posturepedics and BOTH sagged horribly in the middle after 6 months. I don't want the same experience for me and my new wife. And even though the Beautyrest was so comfortable, I dont want something with bad reviews from other people. I always like to make the best informed decision possible, I just feel lost in trying to make the best choice. I even tried to find a flip-style model, as I read on here that may be the best bet, but I was told time and time again that those werent made anymore. Need some help here. Again, looking for medium-firm, under 2,000, and something that wont breakdown under normal circumstances. Open to any suggestions. Thanks. This message was modified Oct 14, 2008 by bayoufrogg

Kait, can you post, or PM, the name of your mattress maker in Fresno? I am looking for just this type of mattress maker. I live in Northern CA, but will drive to Fresno, if that is where I'll find him at! The only other bed maker I know of is from another poster on this forum, who told her story of having a bed made in Santa Cruz, at Bay Beds. . . I have yet to go there, but have talked to the owner (Dan) on the phone. Thanks! Julie This message was modified Oct 24, 2008 by justjulie19

Dear Cloud 9 and Justjulie; I spoke with him Thursday and he has ordered an offset coil unit 12 gauge wire, 6 turn coils, for my new bed. I am really excited. Now I have to tell him what to do inside the bed. He uses the Bonnell unit in his beds with springs usually, and this unit is twice the price, so I can understand why they use these in the premium mattresses and not the low end models. I have a question for cloud nine. In your old bed, what exactly was the layering over the coils? The reason I ask is that I need to know if the way this bedmaker typically makes beds is what I need him to do with these coils. I beleive he usually lays some wire mesh over the coils, then burlap, then the cotton batting. I am questioning the wire mesh which seems like it would mash the coil ends down. If anyone wants to ask me something about this directly, please do at owensall@sti.net Kait |

Dear Bayoutfrogg; I'd find out what innards the bed you like has and go from there. I think the Beautyrest coils aren't as quality as some others, if I remember correctly. Polyurethane foam breaks down really fast, especially if it is made in China, as so much of today's foam is. That has been my experience with foam...seems worse over the last five plus years too. Believe me, once you buy a new bed and it sags, they don't care. You are left holding the mattress so to speak. I think that independent bedmakers who warranty the quality of their work might be the best bet. If you can find one, then at least you can work with someone in person. BTW, you should be able to find what you want in your pricerange, and get quality. Too much markup on beds. Good luck, Kait |
