r/Mattress

I have had my mattress for 6-7 years now. It is from mattress firm. It is medium firmness.

My fiance and I kept being pushed sleep number ads. We talked about it and find the adjustable-ness of each side to be interesting.

What are your thoughts on the quality of their products?

Also, is a base necessary or is the mattress enough to get the full effect? It seems like the base would just adjust like height levels, but I did not look that far into that aspect.

Thanks in advance!

So I keep falling down a rabbit hole and don't seem to get anywhere. I don't even know if I need a topper or what but I'm waiting for my new mattress to arrive and I need to figure out what to do

I sleep very hot, and tend to push sheets off of me even though I keep the bedroom quite cold. I weight just about 230lbs and a log of the reviews I find online for Canadian sites usually are for people under 200lbs so it's been hard to know what to rely on for durability.

The last three mattresses I've gotten have all sagged well within 6 months. I thought my bed frame was the issue and got a new one but the next mattress sagged just as quickly. I've tried thicker slats and even went with nearly full with boards below the mattress and it made no difference. Thank goodness for Silk and Snow having such a long return window. As soon as the mattress begins to get slightly soft I start having neck and back pains. I usually sleep on my back but have been sleeping on my side when the pain starts. I spent months trying different pillows and finally found one that didn't add to the neck pains any more but I'm still so frustrated by any mattress I've slept on, luxury or not.

I know a topper will make things softer as I've had them before but I wonder if there is one that won't trap any of the heat that makes sleeping so uncomfortable. When the toppers have been built into the mattress itself I've just sunk in and felt swamped and overheat so I've stuck with a firm tight top mattress so at least I'll have some comfort until it sags. I'm just worried about getting too hot and waking up all sweaty because of it.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

*look for the stars to skip the back story search* Started looking for a new mattress to replace a 6 year old sealy silver hybrid plush. I despise this mattress, never broke in like the floor model and seems to not have much support for anymore.

In my serch we have checked out more sealy, temper pedic. And nothing seems to really wow us. With the temper it seems the few times I've tried them they all feel different at different locations, the sealy seems to not be much better then the one we have currently that has been a disappointment.

We did try a beautyrest black 3 that seems to be pretty nice, just hate the thought of buying and returning if we dont like it. Also pricy for what seems like the same old hybrid.

****While looking on here I ran across sleepez and others that have have built there own latex mattress. Having a hard time with buying site unseen i found a store semi local that has latex hybrid and full latex mattress.

I can say I really love the feel and idea that is is natural. After looking at a Aireloom (not sure full construction) pranasleep asha lux (All latex). The plush https://www.gardner-white.com/collection/11328-pranasleep-asha-luxe-plush-latex-13-mattress and medium https://www.gardner-white.com/collection/11327-pranasleep-asha-luxe-medium-latex-13-25-mattress on the pranasleep felt good and believe the wife would lean towards the plush i would look towards something in the middle of the two. After a few talks with sleepez that claim that their recommendations are great, but to kinda get close they need ILD numbers (Does anyone have this info) on the latex layers. Trying to get these seem impossible as propriety info to try and get sleepez in the ball park.

Would really lean towards the sleepez because it is modular for replacement later or fine adjustment. That and price on the pranasleep is quite a bit more for something that doesn't seem perfect. Anyone have recommendations on someone that 50% side sleeps, 35% on back, 15% on stomach. Mixed back, hip, and back pain possibly due to pore mattress.

Thanks for reading.

I am looking a mattress that is lumber support. I sleep sometimes side, back or stomach. Please suggest that is good for lower back pian, cooling and budget friendly

we've got an aging mattress (9 years and 2 kids old) and I've begin waking up with a lot of neck and back pain. what's generally accepted as the best type ofattress to prevent that? and what's the best way to purchase a new one and avoid getting ripped off or over sold?

thanks.

OK to be fair I bought a relatively cheap mattress for $160 and usually I’m really thorough with what I buy but I’m moving into a new place and just wanted a mattress and didn’t really look at the reviews but it’s hard as a rock(not really but still). It’s been two days with this mattress and my neck and back are in so much pain, I have never appreciated my old mattress so much the way I do now. Anyways, I’m looking for mattress recommendations and some people are saying weight comes into play and others are saying it doesn’t but just for reference I’m 85 pounds. I’ve never bought a mattress before so I thought medium firm would suffice but now I would much rather prefer something soft like my old mattress and no I have no idea what I used to have I wish I did. Im also a side sleeper and if any mattress experts out there could help I would greatly appreciate it. I will be sleeping on my couch until they remove this rock on the 28th(side note it’s really cool that they come and pick it up I was worried id have to drop her off awkwardly as she scrapes pavement). Affordability also comes into play unless my fafsa check hits which right now is not looking too good but that’s another story. sorry it’s my bedtime and I can’t sleep.

5’8” 200 lbs with neck and lower back pain. Vacillating between the Luxe Breeze Medium Hybrid and the Firm. I want something that feels like sleeping on a cloud, but that also provides the support I need. I liked the way the Adapt felt but am worried it’d be too hot.

I'm on the fence which one i should get as a topper. Here are some of my thoughts below on each one. Would love to hear others' thoughts and experience.

1. Blended - the one I'm looking at is advertised as 70% synthetic, 30% natural and said to be softer than all natural. I'm looking for a softer topper. The 70% synthetic concerns me though, like does that defeat the purpose of going less toxic on a mattress?

2. All natural - apparently less soft than blended. Only $77 difference.

So, I think I’ve landed on buying a ViSpring Masterpiece. Got a nice discount if I take a floor model, which is already set up the way I need it (half medium, half firm). Anyone have any experience with this one? Follow up question that is more general for the people who have bought in this super high end space - was it worth it? I’m trying to get over the mental roadblock of spending a year’s college tuition on a new bed, and have resolved that this will either be the best purchase I ever made, or the worst. Hoping it’s the former. If you’ve been down this road, would love to hear your thoughts!

I ordered the Brooklyn bedding Olympic queen and am realizing how impossible it is to find a bed frame. I’ve seen several posts but there doesn’t seem to be a good solution. Given the posts I found are a few years old I’m curious if anyone has found a good solution or a website that sells an Olympic queen frame?

Thanks!

i've accepted that i'm just a hot sleeper. always have been. but it's gotten worse lately and i'm starting to think the mattress is a bigger factor than i gave it credit for. currently on a memory foam that felt fine in the store and turned into a heat trap within a month of sleeping on it.

been reading about the difference between passive and active cooling in mattresses. passive is basically just materials that feel cool to the touch or wick moisture. active cooling actually moves air or regulates temperature through the night. the gap in how they perform over a full eight hours seems significant based on what i've been reading but i don't have firsthand experience with either.

the one that keeps catching my attention has per side temperature control which would solve the disagreement with my partner about how warm the room needs to be. adjustable firmness on top of that is something i hadn't considered as a cooling factor but apparently affects airflow and heat retention more than i realized.

haven't committed to anything yet and curious whether people here felt it was worth the price difference over a standard cooling mattress.

My tuft & needle I bought in 2019 started sagging a year or two ago which is a shame because we really liked it when we first got it. I'm a bigger guy (260 6'0) so I imagine most mattresses will sag with time.

Today I went to Mattress Warehouse and tried out some beds. I liked the Kingsdown firm and the King Koil firm, but when I went home to read reviews, both brands got pretty blasted (bought by PE too). On top of that, my wife (5'0, 110) is more of a side sleeper so she can't handle ultra-firm beds (though she said she was OK with the firmness of the Kingsdown).

At this point I'm super lost because basically every bed I read about has so many issues. The kingsdown bed was $2600 for a queen - If it ends up sagging in a year, I'm basically SOL. What brand am I supposed to buy?

I constantly read "always check the materials of the mattress", but nearly all of the companies out there don't list material specifics (like foam density and coils, etc). Why is there no compilation of materials on a spreadsheet?

I read that the Helix Plus Elite is great for bigger people, but it's brand new and it makes me wary of marketing.

tl;dr WHAT DO I BUY

Posting this to see if anyone has been in a similar situation and can offer advice or knows a way I can make meaningful contact with Tempur-Pedic.

Big fan of tempur-pedic mattresses. I have spinal issues and their medium-hybrid is the only thing I’ve tried that doesn’t give me pain. We had an adapt queen, but wanted to go up to a king and upgrade to a breeze to sleep a little cooler.

We were supposed to receive delivery of our mattress and adjustable base Saturday afternoon. We donated our old set to a family member Saturday morning. Truck arrives and the delivery team asks me to take a look at the mattress because “the box was damaged when we picked it up from the warehouse”. Look at the mattress and it has a lot of damage, so I refuse delivery.

I immediately call customer support thinking this will be a simple transaction of “sorry this happened, we will expedite delivery of a new set”. 4 days, 3 phone calls and 2 online contact forms later, all I get told is “sorry, the resolution team will email you eventually”.

Sleeping on the floor in the meantime, might pick up an air mattress soon. Best 9 grand I’ve spent so far.

Edit: forgot to mention that I purchased these items directly from tempur-pedic’s website.

Bought a king size mattress with split box springs. This has created a hump or ridge in the center of the mattress where the two box springs meet. Looking for recommendations for alternate. The bed frames has a couple of metal bars running side to side to hold up the box springs. The wood slat base seems like it would take care of the "hump" issue. What is anyone's experience with that? Is there a better alternate?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a new mattress and would really appreciate some recommendations from people who have actually used different brands/models.

I have been dealing with lower back pain and general joint stiffness I'm looking for a mattress that provides good support and pressure relief without being extremely hard.

A few things I'm looking for:

Medium or medium-firm

* Good support for lower back

* Comfortable for long-term use

* Good durability; I don't want it to sag within a couple of years

* Reliable after-sales service/warranty

* Preferably good ventilation since I live in a hot climate

* Budget: within 10k

I've been looking at Duroflex, Wakefit, SleepyCat, Sleepyhead and The Sleep Company but there are so many models that I'm getting confused.

If you've personally used any of these (or another brand), I'd especially like to know:

1. Which model you bought?

2. Cost and platform?

3. Did it actually help with back discomfort?

4. How is the firmness after prolonged use?

5. How was the company's customer service/warranty experience?

I'd really prefer first-hand experiences rather than recommendations based solely on online reviews/YouTube videos.

Thanks!

Hi All! Looking to purchase the most firm king size option from Costco, ideally with the least amount of sag. I think I've narrwoed it down to the below two - I'm trying to avoid the all-foam options like Tempur-Pedic Supreme 11.5" Firm, since they sound like they run much hotter.

• Kirkland Signature by Stearns & Foster Lakeridge 14" Tight Top
• Sealy Posturepedic Pro Omak Valley 13" Firm Hybrid

Are there any "hell no" or "hell yes" responses to these two?

Thanks!
