I asked Ram and he said I should ask you guys.

My wife is convinced that we need a new mattress.

Me....not so much, but my sense of smell in unreliable.

We looked...........we looked at the big names (Sealy, Simmons, etc)

We looked at local MFRs as well (who seem to have a better product).

We looked at standard coil springers as well as latex foam.

What should I buy???

Select Comfort

I'll prolly do the sleep number thing next time.. I have a decent Stears & Foster with the memory foam but I think it remembers to well.. I have to rotate the thing every month or so otherwise I sleep in a crater..

This one.....great service, great price, most comfortable bed I've ever slept on

Full natural latex mattress, not the one with just latex pillow top, is the best. It is very heavy though. Mine is about 350lbs

Since 1972, my primary mattress has been an unbaffeled waterbed.

I don't plan on changing anytime soon!

Original Mattress factory.

^looked there.......Carlisle Mattress is also local and have a better looking product and longer warranty (and cheaper).

andy,

check your local costco (if you have one). really good quality at great prices.

I bought a Serta pillow top (thickest pillow) and it seems good so far. I did research on the Sleep Number beds and the reviews weren't so good.

The Sleep Number is (essentially) a very expensive air mattress that has all the problems of air mattresses. Their customer service got bad reviews as well. Worst, most folks complained the buffer between the left and right side wasn't too good and they spent the entire night rolling into the hole in the middle of the bed. I would avoid anything with too many moving or mechanical parts - you will eliminate many potential problems.

Just my .02 cents worth.......

Or, .09 cents worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

re 4: The PacBamboo™ mattress?!?!

(Did yours come with that sexy panda?)

We recently bought a Tempurpedic........Crazy expensive, but we are both sleeping better than we have in years.....

Andy,,,

take a pic of the stains on the old mattress before you toss it..

You can show it to your grandkids and tell them about each one...

wheel,

^12. We did the same. It has doubled my sleep time. I'm up to 5 hours now. Much less tossing and turning.

The key to any mattress is you need to weigh no more than 125 lbs then they r all great.

If you weigh over 220 than after 6 or 7 years they r all mediocre at best!

Just what I know from my own personal experience and interviews with friends.

I did not google any of this.

IMHO

#13......technically they'd be YOUR grandkids too.

After a lot of research, I drive myself nuts researching things before I buy, we went with a Serta Perfect Sleeper. Definitely has improved the quality of my life. It has a memory foam pillow top which is comfortable but I'm beginning to suspect it might be responsible for making me sweat more at night sometimes. Other than that it's been a great mattress so far.

I had a tempurpedic for quite some time. Great in the winter. They are hot as hell in the summer. If you sleep 'warm' already, don't do the tempurpedic.

It IS very comfortable, but I just got too damned hot.

I now have a simmons beautyrest plush firm. It's not as comfortable as the tempurpedic, but it is comfortable enough and I don't sweat my nads off.

Foam = Sweat...................good info!!!!!
