| Hi all - I went to a mattress store last weekend and signed up to buy a bed, and as soon as I walked out I knew I'd been taken. I found this site and started reading the tips on mattress shopping and I called and canceled the order and I'm starting from scratch this weekend. My question is, if I show up with a pad and ask all these questions about ticking etc., isn't it going to be sort of obvious that I've been reading this site? Won't they just have countermaneuvers? At the very least I'm going to try to get a competitive bid for the mattress I was about to buy from the same chain's store in the next town over ... |

Jimsocal, thought I would update you: It has now been 6 months and my Sealy latex sleeps as well now as when I first purchased it. Mind you, I am a 6'1" 365 lb guy. I have rotated the mattress every month and have not had any the back or hip pain I had before. I just love this matress. When and if it begans to give me problems, I will try flip it so that the 9 in latex core is on top and add a 3 inch latex topper if it is too firm. |
