I am new to this Forum and this is probably an open ended Question, I need to buy a new Mattress and kinda lost.

I didnt look at Seally since that one i own (which cost me 1100 in 2002) now has a DIP in it (I do blame myself since i am a big guy) anyway I went to a serta store and had a look at their perfect day (Uplifting) and had a talk with the owner and he gave me a price that cant even be matched by online retailers. I tried to checkout other local stores and came accress a brand called aireloom which is hand stiched and feels even better than the perfect day (the one i liked was called the preffered and it is the top of the line mattress they have, the store sells it for 5999 I looked arround i found it for 4900 which is double the price of the perfect day. btw it looks like the same one being sold by macys.com for 18,000).

I cant find reviews of feedbacks on them, I had some sales people telling me I shouldnt even compair the serta to the aireleoom since "its like compairing a Ferrari to a Toyota".

is the aireloom really that good? What else should I check out?  What is the best in terms of materials used and expected life? (the aireleoom say they offer a  20 years Garanty"

Thanks

First of all, surely an Airelooom would have to be of higher quality than a Serta, which is considered by many to be the bottom of the barrel of S company mattresses.
However, as Budgy mentioned, there are other brands that are probably better than Aireloom for a better price. Budgy mentioned one mattress he thought was better in another thread. If you ask him he may tell you that one (though not sure if it was in your price range.)

You could always buy the lowest priced mattress you can find with good springs, and replace the foam inside, with latex, as I and others have done. Seems to work for most people who try it. Oh, and you can build a king like this for probably $800 with pure latex over springs.
