Simmons 250 NxG Firm question
|
Would love to hear opinions about the Simmons NxG 250 firm? Would I be able to add a topper, (latex or foam) to this type of bed if the NxG foam where to break down prematurely OR just to change the feel if I didn't like it? Your replies are very much appreciated :-) Natalie PS. I have really tried to research this bed. Have read through the older posts (not very many on this bed) here, almost all good reviews at Macy's and US Mattress, one bad at Viewpoints, none at epinions, so please don't think I'm not also doing my own research. Of course none of the reviews say if you can add a topper later, so I'm posting it here.

based on this photo I am going to say no. the bent border rod thing with Simmons is really just protecting their asses on people that literally had to bend the mattress too much in order to get it to fit through a tight staircase or something. If this was caused by moving the mattress incorrectly the bend would most certainly be almost right in the middle and not near the head end of the mattress. This one is pretty clearly caused by just using the edge of the mattress, which should be covered by warranty. |

REALLY? How it was moved......the dudes from Costco DROPPED my mattress and how they got it in my bedroom is another story! Then there's the post from the gal who says they moved the pick-up beds with the new beds. If some one has bed bugs so do you and she got em'. I am so glad I didn't get stuck with another bummer but I would of kept the $300 air bed from Costco and inside I would of put latex. Live and learn. Hoping so see a deal like that again. Alice |

Sorry I haven't time to read this whole thread and maybe I already posted this... But as soon as I saw this, I thought there was a problem: " Comfort - Padding Layers Mattress Build-Out This mattress had FOUR INCHES of soft foam on top! (Look at the See what's inside this mattress" link) That alone makes this a useless mattress, imho. You can always add a topper later. The problem is that you can NOT reverse the negative effects of too-soft, non-supportive foam inside a mattress! Even the Englander I bought in "FIRM" - the firmest they had - had 3" or so of Peee-Ewww foam on top of the springs and so I had to immediately take it out and replace it with better foam! The problem with this mattress isn't that it's going to be too firm, the problem is, it's going to be too soft and/or non-supportive. IMHO. This message was modified Feb 12, 2010 by jimsocal

Alice Ewww.. Alice! Bed bugs! Shouldn't have read this right before bed last night... gave me creepy-crawlies. One more thing to worry about  .After reading all the knowledgeable replies, this one has been crossed off my list. Thank you everyone, Natalie BTW, I just looked at all the mattress surgeries. Amazing to see what's really on the inside! |
