Is there a Back Room consensus on mattresses?
by Dutch (2020-07-01 15:40:15)

I'm in the market for some new mattresses and don't even know where to start. I've always had a traditional inner spring mattress and have liked those. Should I stick with that, or are some of the newer technologies worth considering? I would like to keep the cost as low as possible while still getting a quality product with good support and at least a 10 year life. Thanks in advance.


Is this for your regular house or vacation house?

The internet mattresses aren’t about the mattress.

It’s about the logistics of not having stores and shipping a mattress through the mail. An innerspring mattress can’t be jammed in a box like Casper or Purple. The logistics drove the technology of the mattress, not some inherent better quality.


There are several innerspring mattresses that ship

In a box, just like the foam ones. It's pretty impressive.

Agree with you about the logistics point though. I couldn't shake the feeling that the foam guys were selling them because it was good for them, and the hell with me.

I've yet to meet someone who bought one and returned it. Purple, Mint, Tuft & Needle, etc.

I went with Tuft and Needle because they are here in AZ and do same day delivery. Wife and I both love it. Got one for my 2 year old when she left the crib.


Agreed. Love our tuft & needle mint.

However got a cheap no name one for guest bedroom that is nearly as comfortable. It's worth it to me to spend more


Saatva gets really good reviews.

It's an innerspring mattress and you have four months to try it out. I don't have one though. I have a Simmons Beautyrest with the pillow top. It's very comfortable. A queen size was about $1,500 a few years ago.

Oh.

Saatva.

Carry on.


We've been happy with our Casper Wave Hybrid

It's a combo of foam and innerspring, so best of both worlds. It did take a couple of months to get used to, but now I'm sleeping like a baby.

We also did the split king (two twin mattresses on king frame) because we got the adjustable bed frame. It's pretty nice to prop up my head when watching TV, reading, or working on my laptop, but it was probably not worth the extra expense and the two mattresses took a little getting used to.

It's #2 rated on Consumer Reports too, for what it's worth. Avocado is #1.


I've always been a fan of Stearns & Foster mattresses. *

Supportive but comfortable. Yet sleeps cool and doesn't trap you in like memory foam.


I concur. We've had ours about a month now. *

Back Room consensus? Doubtful.

Www.sleeplikethedead.com has a bunch of bed reviews.

Personally, I like the bed-in-a-box tranquility mattress. It’s fairly firm and priced modestly for a king (around $1,200 when I ordered mine).


that's a great website *

I went with a “luxury store brand”

I went to a reputable furniture store (WG&R) and ended up purchasing their “luxury store brand” (August Haven) as opposed to the budget store brand label (WG&R) and got a made in WI mattress with latex top layer, latex dissipates heat better then memory foam. I bought it 4 years ago but it was significantly cheaper then the brand names and made with similar materials. I would suggest you do the same.


What the hell is WG&R? *
