I am going through the agony of finding the right bed for my wife and I. We just couldn't take our soft S&F any longer and purchased a Simmons world class Firm Pillow top...Cape is the name I think...... It's sagging in less than a month and my wife is having issues with pressure points.....This bed is too hard for her and good for me except the nice whole I am in already....My question. I went to the store a laid on a Tepurpedic for about a hour. Its the pillow top Celeberty......I like it. Seems to be supportive yet soft....My wife liked it as well, but........ She thinks we should buy and likes the newer softside waterbeds with the zipper tops to remove and replace top inserts with foam or latex...... Why don't more people buy these? It seems nice and for $2000 you can buy a dual core king bed with all the goodies.......I like the Tempur, but it will cost us about $2600 more with the Simmons comfort exchange......Any help or opinions out there????? |
Tempurpedic is so costly simply because their return rate is over 20%. That's unheard of in this industry. Personally I think a latex mattress, 6" core + 2" soft topper and zippered quilted cover is the best way to go. The cover is the same that were put on the original soft sided waterbeds back in the 70's. I know this to be true because I worked in the factory in California that originated the first dual chambered (his and her) soft sided waterbed. In fact it was my idea to do this because my wife was pregnant with our first child and I would disturb her every time I rolled over. Splitting the water mattress into two halves and running a foam separater up the middle solved that problem and the "split king" was born. It became our biggest seller. Now that latex is back, it truly the best way to go. |
