Spent $2300 on a serta perfect day, euro top, perfect firmness and feel for my body and back issues, perfect

 

Only one problem, they have memory foam mixed in with other materials for the top part of the mattress that makes contact with your skin and it sleeps warm, not hot like foam but warm and that is no good...so the disadvantage of foam without any of the advantages.

 

Sending it back, costs me 25% approx of what I paid but better than 100%...darn, thought I had it.

Hi Randy,

My suggestion would be try a pad from Bed Bath and Beyond. They have no hassle returns. Sears also carries Natura online which can be returned (be sure it says "sold by sears").

I agree with Sandman on the Snugfleece. I tried both the Original (non-washable), stiff rows of stitching on the backing, and the Imperial (washable), backing did indeed feel like carpet. I returned them, but it took a month to get a refund.

I just ordered the Dormeir, but I won't receive it for at least another week and it's not returnable.

I have a snugfleece original king, and am extremely pleased with it.   

Natalie must be unbelievably sensitive to be able to feel any stitching while lying on this pad, as one and three quarter inch thick rows of the softest wool imaginable are stitched to a very soft cotton sheeting base.  I don't know anything about snugfleece washable bases, but the original base feels nothing at all like carpet foundation.  The effect of lying on this pad is as close to lying on a cloud as mortals can experience.

you cant sleep on a hotel mattress and then buy it and then return it, so i bought one that serta sells in their online store...it has foam in it but where and how much and so on i dont know

 

i will try the bed bath beyond version, ordered today, expedited shipping, then go from there...i see a review here now of the snugfleece that makes me wonder if that shouldnt be the 2nd one i try if this doesnt do it as that is returnable and dormier is not

Good plan. As Philip pointed out, I am indeed extremely sensitive, so the SnugFleece may work for you if you don't like the one from Bed Bath and Beyond :-)
