We recently replaced our aging lumpy 10 year old standard king-size mattress with a Tempur-Pedic (Classic Bed model) that is amazing for me, but utterly wrong for my wife (a side sleeper with mild Scoliosis). Although we have a fabulous Simon Celebration twin from 1998 occasionally used as a guest bed, the twin is too small for both of us to comfortably sleep – and it would only be an interim fix while we find the right-king sized bed. And since we’re unable to decode the Simon tag and determine a matching, firm modern-day equivalent king-size version, we’re still stuck trying to solve my wife’s newfound Tempur-Pedic induced backaches. We’re unsure how to find something similar to the Simon Celebration – and, once found, whether we should get a king version for both of us (which would work), or if we can split the bed into two twins – one for her side, one for mine – and whether that would work as long as we matched the 9” height of the Tempur-Pedic. Any advice on a good firm bed (like our Simon) having two halves (a spring and a Tempur-Pedic) or any other good mattress recommendation? This message was modified Jul 12, 2010 by dugn

KimberlyH - thanks for the great tips and insights. This was the only one of 4 discussion boards that responded to my inquiry. And your responses were very helpful! In the end, after errantly getting a Calder Firm (way too firm - instant backaches for both of us), we settled on a Twin XL Tempur-pedic Classic for me and a much higher end Beatyrest le Blanc firm with a layer of their NXG foam. The needed firmness is still there, but it's heavilly tempered with a great layer of the NXG. Slammed together with the Sealy on a shallower box spring, we're in a very comfortable 'half-and-half' bed that works perfectly for both of our needs. Thanks again for your help and insights |
