Sears-O-Pedic Comfort Cloud Iridescent LX equivalent?
Hi all! I'm new to the forum and hoping to get some great mattress advice. I'm moving to NY from the west coast and am shopping for a new mattress. My mattress set (mattress+box spring) in California was a full Sears-o-pedic Comfort Cloud Iridescent LX II Firm (I believe this is the name, unfortunately I'm no longer in California and can't verify). The mattress description was similar to this:
I think the Iridescent LX line was a little less fancy. My tastes may be a little plebian, but honestly, I just LOVED that bed. Sears no longer carries the Iridescent model and it's not available at the Sears Outlets. I would love to get any ideas about similar/equivalent mattresses available in Full. Sadly, there's a good chance that I will have to order online without trying the mattresses (a disaster, I know). Even if I do have a chance to try things out, I'd love to be able to narrow my search. My preference would be to keep the purchase (well) under $1000. I'd also take any thoughts about Sears-o-pedic mattresses generally. Any input is greatly appreciated!!! This message was modified Jul 28, 2009 by newtonewyork

Re: Sears-O-Pedic Comfort Cloud Iridescent LX equivalent?
Hi, My wife and I purchased a Queen Sears-O-Pedic about 3.5 years ago. The mattress had the pillow top much as you described,it slept good for a few months but devolped craters. I'm about 5"10" @ around 160 lbs. The bed was in the price range you mentioned. I would never buy another pillow top mattress from Sears, or anyone else. Of course you couldn't flip the above mattress and that shorten the effective life of it. I don't want a mattress that you need to flip, i'm in the process of buying components for a DIY latex mattress. If I were to buy another interspring setup I would buy a firm quilted top mattress and add a 2" topper. This is what I was shopping for when I went to Sears. They poo pooed the idea of a topper since you could get the pillow top already build in. I hadn't done my research or read this forum and the purchase didn't work out too good. I don't know about you folks but my wife is not crazy about laying down on beds in a store, we ended up with something less than we needed........ I've thought about mattress surgery but don't see a good way to work with the pillow top. Without cutting the mattress case I can't determine what caused the depression. Anyway good luck with finding the right mattress for you. When I get to a final decision on a new mattress for me I will write something in another thread on the results. Bear |
