Buying new mattress

[Epic Fail]

I tried tempurpedic, but felt it's too saggy, should I still consider it?

Where do you go to get the good deals?

 

[purbeast0]

slickdeals.

got my w hotel bed for like $1700 with kingsize mattress, 4 king pillows, and the nicest duvet they have.

would have been $2500 w/out the coupon.

Most are the same with just differant covers.

Buy the cheapest one that has the cover/fill/foam you want.

I got my foam bed from costco. Its a softer version so you would want to look for the higher rated one.

But go to not only costco store but their website. Most have free shipping.

I always give the same advice:
-Don't buy pillowtops, they are an "at the store" sell which, generally, are a cheap way to make it very plush with minimal additions to their cost, but use a low density, cheap foam that will break down and "slide." They can be done right, but usually they are not.

-Don't buy tempurpedic, there is nothing proprietary about them, they make YOU pay for their advertising

You may find different types of memory foam, my father's company offers combinations of foam that may create a custom firmness, and could even half different combinations on separate halves of the mattress.

Latex is also a great mattress that still has a "spring" to it, I've slept on both for years and love each type in their own ways. I plan to make a hybrid between them that I hope will be the "perfect" mattress for me.

Good luck!

Go to Sleepys

Find bed you like

Take note of brand and series of bed

Go online, find a website that tells you what series is equivalent at another store. The online price for the equivalent bed under a different series name would be something like 40% less.

Print out price of equivalent bed.

Go back to Sleepys.

Show them mattress price.

Store policy tells them to beat it by 10%.

Congrats, you got new bed.

I really need to get a new mattress as well - waking up every morning with aches and pains. Seems like the W Hotel Bed gets great reviews. Anyone have experience with them? I'm a big guy with a wife and a king size bed.

Latex are the best I have ever tried, just wasn't going to pay $1500 for one. I do use Latex pillows and always will. All mattresses are about marketing, so buy the lowest one that feels the best to you. I paid 1k for my last one and shouldn't of, not that its a bad mattress, I just know I can get a better deal next time. I have a Simmons world class.

i got one in like july, kingsize one. i'm pretty big myself, 5'11 220lbs.

first night i slept on it was the first night i woke up without back pains in years (i have a bad back as is).

i got the plush top since i heard the pillowtop was too soft. i actually went and tried it out at sleepys before i bought it from the w hotel store online w/a coupon code. it is not a reall yfirm bed at all, but man it is so comfortable. i still have trouble getting up in the morning.

the duvet i got from there is also REALLY comfortable too, however, after a few weeks after dry cleaning it, i tend to see a lot more pieces of down start to fly around my room when i'm ruffling the comforter.

the only thing i'm not 100% on are the pillows. i got 4 king size cloud pillows, and my wife loves em. sometimes they are a tad too soft for me, and they tend to get kind of hot too if they 'wrap' around your head. i was debating the ultra cloud pillows but i'm really glad i didn't get those because they would probably be way too soft.

Go to a Jc Penny and try a Latex pillow. You can usually get them on sale in the $30 range, they are amazing. I told a friend about them and he bought 2. Only pillow I will ever use, they last like 15 years.

when i went to visit my friend in san diego, i was using a 'different' type of pillow that was foamy. is that what latex pillows are? it kind of seems like it from the quick google search, however his wasn't quite 'flat' all around, it kind of had a little bit of a 'texture' to the actual pillow (if that makes any sense).

and i will say i did like it a lot, the firmness on it was perfect and it didn't really get too hot.

I got a nice Sealy foam, extra firm. Just bounce around the mattress stores for a while and you can find anything you want dirt cheap. There are always sales. And most suburban neighborhoods have ASSLOADS of fucking mattress stores. What is it with those assholes? Do they honestly think we need a new mattress every month?

Talalay Latex are a natural Latex foam. They are kind of like memory foam but they spring back instantly where as memory foam returns slower to its shape. Latex pillows have holes in them so they breath. They are also antimicrobial.

Dont even get me started on the sales people. I told the 1st place I went I was just starting my shopping and could come back to buy. When I did go back the next day she told me that price was yesterday. So I left went and bought the same one from someone else.

Here is a Latex pillow from Jc Penny.

I am a side sleeper, so that's all I can say. If you have a Jc Penny around, go check them out. I have posted here in the past about them, cant recommend them enough.

Think I'll go to my local Sleepy's tonight. Is this the duvet? http://www.whotelsthestore.com/item.asp?curr_item_id=34&cat_subcat_id=10

Or just the (cheaper) featherbed? http://www.whotelsthestore.com/item.asp?curr_item_id=26&cat_subcat_id=10

the first one, i got the 'high performance' or whatever one.

its different than a featherbed, it goes inside of the duvet cover to complete the comforter.

i honestly had never even heard of a duvet/duvet cover till my wife and i went registry shopping for our wedding heh. and in our registery we asked for the linen set we wanted for our eventual king size bed.

nearly 2 years after our marriage we got our king size bed and finally put all hte linens to use heh.

I still think tempur feels the best by far, but I don't have enough trouble sleeping to justify that cost.

You mean memory foam, Tempurpedic is just the brand name. :sneaky:

well if your current bed is comfortable for you there is absolutely no reason to get a new bed or be looking at one.

but you sleep like 1/4 - 1/3 of your life, i don't see why anyone would have an issue spending $2k or more on something they will use literally at least 1/4 of their life using it.

I think theirs feels better than others, yes. But no, I haven't and won't spend money on it.
