I am thinking about cancelling a mattress order from Mattress Firm made in store but I accepted the 300$ freebie they gave. Would I have the 300$ deducted?

What mattress are you currently using and what’s your favorite thing about it (so I know what to avoid and what to look into lol).

I have chronic upper back pain, so I’m looking for something with a medium firmness and support. I don’t want to sink in, nor feel like I laying on a plank, but that hard to find in between. For reference, 100 pounds and sleeping with a partner.

I’m starting my dreadful journey of finding a new mattress after my favorite model changed and I upgraded to a bigger size. I was using the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid in Medium firmness and it is PERFECT, but the new upgraded model I just ordered is no longer supportive and completely different. Looking for a new mattress now!

Does anyone have King size FIRM Novaform 14" Legacy Premier Support Hybrid Euro Top Mattress from Costco? I just bought one but it’s still in the box. I am 5’10” , 275 lbs, hot sleeper, always waking up with back pain, toss and turn a lot in the night. “Mountain climbing” sleeping position most of the time. Do you guys think this will be a good fit for me? How is the edge support on this mattress?

Many budget, and other common brands, use fiberglass in their memory foam mattresses. It's used to meet fire safety compliances, but is not required to be disclosed by any regulations.

It is a huge hazard, and safety risk if the fibers ever get out, either by washing or aging. Any type of agitation to the mattress could send the fibers into the air, and stuck to your clothes. The contamination can be as bad a bed bugs, and spreads very easily between fabrics.

It can cause inflammation in your lungs, and severe irritation of your skin.

Please double check about whether your brand might have fiberglass, and consider getting another brand or a fully zippered hypoallergenic mattress protector.

I’ve done a few of these in the past but thought I would do a more focused AMA regarding mattress components, specifically natural foam rubber latex and Polyurethane foam, including viscoelastic memory foam.

I spent 12 years with the two largest PU foam manufacturers in the US and another 10 as a manufacturers rep for multiple Dunlop suppliers and a Talalay supplier. I’ve also represented spring manufacturers, steel wire suppliers and ticking/FR manufacturers along the way, so I’m happy to chime in on those as well.

Transparently; I still currently represent my latex partners in the market and I also own and operate a luxury sleep boutique.

I’ll happily answer any questions about mattress components and constructions. I’m not here to recommend specific brands or models. But rather to help provide general guidelines that you can use while looking for the right mattress. If you would like to provide me the specs of a model, I’ll give you my insight into whether I think it can serve you well based on your body type and sleep style. But please know, that nothing replaces the value of going to an independent store and being fitted by an expert and comparing different models.

I replaced my 20 year old firm mattress with a beautyrest black series 2 medium and I have back pain every morning.

it’s only been 6 days should I give it longer or start looking for another?

a little back story, my old mattress started giving me back pain and dead arms from pressure point pain. I added a pillow topper when the pressure point pain started and it helped but gave me back pain. So I removed the topper and started shopping. I am mainly a side sleeper, 5”7 160 pounds and everything I read said a medium would be best. In the store I loved the way it felt. I actually still do love the way it feels. It’s just come morning that isn’t great.

I can exchange it but have to stay with a mattress the store has. I tried the level 3 firm Pillow top. It was fine but not cozy.

Anyone else a side sleeper but need a firmer mattress than what is considered “recommended“?

Purchased mattress in 2023, issues began with it in 2025, sunken holes. Avocado denied my 2026 warranty claim, so I'm here to show everyone how poorly constructed their mattresses are. You can see how the latex completely broke down, and the springs are jumbled in two places. I decided to film the opening up in 1 take to investigate what was happening. No cuts!
Does this look like this should happen in 3 years? Do better, guys.

from Avocado: "The deepest visible impression is approximately 1 inch, which falls below the 1.5 inch threshold required for warranty eligibility. Because the measured indentation does not meet the minimum warranty requirement, we are unable to approve the claim under the terms of the warranty."

I know there are lots of mattress deals for July 4th.

Which brands should I be looking at?

Hey everyone, my Casper wave hybrid (2019) is on its last legs (a little earlier than I had hoped) and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for organic mattresses suggestions with a similar feel. I looked some options up on ChatGpt, but also wanted to ask the community.

I have autoimmune issues and my skin is super sensitive. I had to put a lot of mattress covering previously on the Casper so it wouldn’t bother me and it would be nice to go organic this time.

Just got this on clearance temp used from Mattress Firm…40% off original.
I know from a lot of ppl this might not be the smartest move. Going to throughly inspect upon arrival and hope it’s a solid mattress. Any advice on this would help.

Also, heard it’s pretty firm until it breaks in. Any opinions on this would be great as well. Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,
I am 30F, looking for the suggestions to buy mattress in Bengaluru. I have never bought a mattress before so I am not sure what to look for a comfortable mattress. My budget is around 9k-12k. I don’t want super soft hotel like mattress. Just something comfortable which doesn’t give me back pain and doesn’t heat up.

Any suggestions would be helpful

My spouse and I are looking to buy a new mattress and we're hoping for some recommendations from people who need a lot of support.

I have a few different disabilities that cause me to be mostly bed bound. I spend about 80-100% of the day in bed on average and have pretty severe back and hip pain. Because of this, I've literally worn a divot into our current mattress that we've had for the past year.

We are looking for affordable options (500$ MAX) and something in the medium to soft firmness range. We're probably going to get some kind of supportive mattress topper as well, and will be putting a bed-sore air pressure mat on my side as I'm prone to them during my more heavily bed bound times.

Any ideas?

Hi guys,

I had just visited mattress experience center of the sleep company, sleepwell and duroflex.
I was looking for mid firm ortho friendly mattress but to my surprise they aren’t as comfy as memory foam one. I had slept on both but the comfy level of this memory foam(sleepwell) is crazy.
Should I got with memory foam one?

Has anyone been using it?
If yes, are there any long term affects?

TLDR: Help me pick between Ortho with Latex layer on top or memory foam matrix?

I do not post much on this type of topic, but I had to share this because I don't see enough posts about companies actually doing right by their customers.

The Mattress Itself (5 stars)

Bought a Purple mattress about five years ago and honestly it's still one of the best purchases I've made. Slept great from night one — no break-in period, no "getting used to it" phase. Five years later it still feels like it did when we got it. Zero complaints on the mattress itself.

The Protector... Not So Much

We picked up their mattress protector at the same time. A while back it started coming apart and ended up staining the mattress underneath. Frustrating, especially on a mattress we loved. Called Purple expecting the usual runaround.

Customer Service Blew Me Away

Here's where it gets good. They didn't just replace the protector. The rep told us there was actually a bad batch of material used in some of their protectors — they already knew about it. Not only did they send us a brand new replacement protector, they sent us a brand new mattress too. No argument, no extended back-and-forth, no jumping through hoops. All we paid was $250 shipping and they are removing the old mattress free.

I wasn't expecting that at all.

Bottom Line

Purple makes a genuinely great mattress and apparently stands fully behind their products when something goes wrong. Five years in and we're still fans now even bigger ones. If you're on the fence, I'd say go for it.

HELLLLLP. We need help deciding on a mattress. We’re between 3 right now.

•The Helix Sunset Elite
•Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe (soft or medium?)
•and the Therapetic Immunity Auburn/Sepia.

My husband is around 190, I’m 140lbs.

He has no back problems and could sleep on the floor or a bean bag and care less. I most likely have fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel. We are both side sleepers and I wake up with sooo much shoulder pain and numb hands. We currently sleep on a 10 year old Serta Applause (medium) with a 3 inch mem foam topper.

Does anyone have recommendations from those 3 (don’t confuse me with more haha), or reviews if you’ve had them? Thank you!

Hi all. So physically I'm a 6ft 3in, 240lb man. I have a 48" best size with a 37" waiste. So I'm kinda barely chested so I feel rib pressure points and hip points super quickly.

So about 13 years ago, I bought a temper pedic Cloud Luxe Medium 11" mattress for about 2400 + base. Well Its been killer now so its worn out. I just had a ProAdapt 2.0 Firm delivered and now its way to firm vs the unsupportive worn out medium I had. Should I get another medium? I think those are 2 firm. so how a medium can be to soft and firm being way to hard its weird to me. The medium feeling like a 5.5 and the firm feeling like a 8 to me. I have no latex beds i can try but the iSerta beds. I'm Autistic and apparently a sensitive pea able to notice stupid subtle differences. So I'm struggling with find a best 3500 and under. I really dont have to spend more than 2k. but it looks like the 6k purple firm beds might be my best option..... Then again i really can only fiance a best since I only have a part time job and thats been a struggle to get and keep.
