SleepScience mattresses at Costco
|
Seems Costco is starting to sell another memory foam brand online - SleepScience. They have a promotion going on and you can get a king mattress for $999 + tax, looks like not a bad deal. Any thoughts about it? I had mixed results with Costco's NovaForm. While I really like how the foam mattress feels it had a soft spot right under my butt on one side where I sleep, not sure if it was a manufacturing foam imperfection or it just became softer "naturally" after one week's of use, anyhow it's giving me pain so I'm in the process of returning it. Wondering if I should bother with another memory foam mattress or it is just going to be the same. I'm 190lbs, 6'4". This message was modified Aug 31, 2008 by waldo

Dear "9"; I agree whole-heartedly. First, let me mention that my back issues are caused by the bed. When I sleep on a mattress that has supportive coils I sleep well and no back pain. Takes two nights max to be pain free. I live in central CA and there is a bed maker fairly close by who makes his beds like you mentioned. There is one in the showroom that has a Bonnell unit and a zippered cover so you can pick out/adjust your foam. This guy knows the ins and outs of mattress making. He's built several for us over the years, and really stands behind his stuff. I went through the buy-return-giveaway-mattress thing after the Tallalay latex mattress I bought from him(he still chides me about it, would have fixed it/taken it back in return even a few years after I bought it...where else can you find that?!)failed my back. I just had to shop around to realize what I had right here. My last purchase went to him in the first week (Stress-O-Pedic) as it was overly soft and not supportive. His bed maker removed the original foam and beefed up the coils, remade it very nice and comfortable. But I still had some low back pain when I woke up in the morning so there was something still amiss. After several adjustments, finally culminating with me opening up and performing my own surgery, I have realized that my issue is the Marshall unit(individually wrapped coil) not supporting me enough. Rather than messing around with this anymore, I am going to have him make me the mattress exactly as you described. He does carry a nice PU foam that has been working well in this bed for a year now. I'd like to see how some Dunlop(sp?) latex feels too, but not sure he carries it. Kait This message was modified Sep 17, 2008 by Kait

Re: SleepScience mattresses at Costco
| Am I right in thinking that I may be well better off getting a cheap firm spring mattress with minimal padding (if such a thing really exist) and a foam/latex topper for it instead of a full foam mattress? |

I once joked with BeddyBye that I was going to move to Santa Cruz just so I could buy a mattress from her mattress guy. I live in the Los Angeles area and you would think there would be some place like that in this sprawling metropolis, but so far I haven't found it. So I am about to remake my own mattress. Of course I'll post the results on the forum. But hey, I've got the right kind of innerspring unit--I've got latex, I've got memory foam, I've got HR. It's GOTTA be better! (Now if I can only get my hands on a big zipper....) |
