    Box Spring Swap Sales trick

    it is not a standard sales trick here but could be in the sates. some companys will offer diffrent quality of bases - platform top, open coils, pocket sprung, and these will all affect the price. some charge diffrent for diffrent qualitys of fabric and most will charge diffrent for drawers or...

    Stomach Sleeper Help PLEASE!

    often the reason for turning from your side onto your front during the night is that your matt is already to firm. your shoulders (and hips) dont sink into the mattress enough and are pushed up into you and normally forward curving your spine. when your lying on your mattress on your side do you...

    Suggestions for mattress w/o memory foam pretty please . . .

    if you can afford it then Vi-spring gets my vote, but i dont know the other makes. they are beautiful beds made to the highest standard and will not give you the problems that are often decribed on here. go and have a shot on one but be prepared for a heafty price.

    This is an interesting, new concept for a topper....

    they really are a good system, although some companys use a sheet of them and add 1000 springs to the spring count so watch out for that when mattress shopping. http://www.spinkssprings.co.uk/HD%20Spring.htm http://www.spinkssprings.co.uk/Posturfil%20Spring.htm a couple of examples of them...

    Innerspring Mattress with Latex Top?

    cloud9 wrote: Marshall, I notice you're in the UK. Maybe they make mattresses differently there--the old fashioned way. But here in the US they make them out of layers and layers of crappy low-density convoluted foam, designed to feel great in the store and last for about six months once you get...

    Innerspring Mattress with Latex Top?

    Kait wrote: I am sorry, but I do not know of any, unless you go to an independant bedmaker. As for the poster's scolding for opening up one's bed and doing surgery on it to make it sleep better...what the heck? It is a crime that these bed companies sell us crappy foam in the mattress, and...

    Need advice on how to best craft a comfort layer using toppers.

    from your previous posts im aware you probably wont belive me, but this is what i got to offer. if you are suffering from lower back pain, a firm/extra firm mattress will make it worse. for the top layers i would go with latex it tends to be a cooler surface than foam (if you are a hot person...

    Mattress Surgery. Good or Bad Idea?

    Is it true that Tempur-pedic beds are overpriced memory foam mattresses?

    your right there are many types of 'memory foam' but this is where it starts getting quite complex and would take up a lot of space to type it all out. try reading through some entrys on wikipedia, but remember it is written by people like you and me so it is based on what people THINK is true a...

    Is it true that Tempur-pedic beds are overpriced memory foam mattresses?

    basicly yes it is overprised for what it is due to loads of money thrown at advertising and R&D, so a rival company COULD take one of their beds and reverse engineer to work out how its made, and make it conciderably cheaper .... and many have tried ..... the problem is tempur is VERY good...

    i cant advise a make or model that you can buy as im based outside the US so i am do not know of types and brands you may have access to. but if you are looking for a sprung mattress i would advise buying a pocket sprung mattress with whatever type of top layer you feel most comfortable, i would...

    Sensus Pics?

    i have never delt with this brand so i cant confirm or deny it is the right one but memory foam will react to light and also time and will change in colour, it also may depend on how quick it was cooled when it came out of the mold or even how warm it still was when it got put in its packaging...

    Help me choose a mattress or topper

    Hi hope you managed to have an ok sleep! my first advice is stop throwing money on a mattress that wont ever perform, save all the money from toppers and spend it on a better mattress. if there is a depresion in your fillings the new topper will just follow the same shape and all you will get...
