Pranasleep Vinyasa

Worst mattress ever

I purchased a Vinyasa Mattress on March 19, 2010 from City mattress in Niagara Falls NY. I have been having issues with sleeping on it. I had city mattress come out to inspect it. It had an impression of 1.5 inches. They put a foam insert under it but it has not helped. I have even put a board under it with and without the foam, but it still is not helping. They will not take back the mattress because of a stain that they found that is not visible to the naked eye. I paid $4000 for a mattress that I can not sleep on. My warranty is for 20 years, which is why I was willing to pay so much for a mattress. I have contacted Prana before and they forwarded it to City mattress. I did not get the situation resolved.

Date Purchased: March 2010
Price Paid: $4000

Pros:
NONE

Cons:
Everything!

I purchase the top of the line Dr. Brues bed 2 years ago. The first one delivered developed a major sink hole after only 1 week so they exchanged it. The bed was great for about 6 months after. I couldn't Waite to go to bed. Then it started to sink again so I need to turn the bed around to the firmer half every couple of nights (I sleep alone on one side) because the new one started sinking in. I bought the mattress for my very bad back issues and spent $3000 for it and now it's so sunken in that I dread going to bed at night. It's absolutely agonizing. I'm a very fit yoga instructor 5'6 and 112 pounds so weight is not the issue here. I need a new bed AGAIN!! Anyone else having this problem? Do NOT buy this bed!!

Date Purchased: 10/2011
Price Paid: $3000
Recommend: No
Cons:
It's not at all what they (Sleepy's) said it was. I gave it one star because that was my lowest choice available. AWFUL!!

I've had my latex mattress for a little more than a year, and I LOVE it.
I've owned many mattresses in the past, and my latex is by far, the superior choice. It did smell at first, but only for the first few nights. I am very sensitive to odors, and this would have bugged me if it did continue to smell. But, it is very comfortable and I also sleep better knowing it is not full of chemicals. It was worth paying more for this, knowing it is going to last me 20+ years. My husband also loves this mattress...and it was great, being able to customize our sides of the bed. I would highly recommend this bed to anyone. I cannot understand why anyone would not agree!

Date Purchased: May 2012
Price Paid: $0
Recommend: Yes
Pros:
comfort, durability, chemical free, use of wool as an insulator, can customize comfort levels

Cons:
really none

Heavenly Nights Sleep.....!!!!

I've had back,neck,and knee pain for most of my life, and I've had plenty of sleeplessness nights throughout my lifetime.... I just came to the conclusion that this was the way life was going to be for me.... It had turned me into quite the "Insomniac" throughout those many many years of not being comfortable in my own bed. Let me just begin by saying that I've always been quite athletic and I think I was actually playing sports before I could ever walk!!! I come by it honestly, my whole family has been active in many different sports throughout their lifetimes. Between gymnastics, dance classes, Basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball, track & field, horse back riding and even an all girls football team we had in High school, I totally lived for and challenged myself and my poor body to it when it came to sports!!! With all my injuries throughout my school years, my body was really starting to feel a lot of pain in my knees and back to start out with, still I kept pushing myself and my overworked and aging body.... I was running marathons with knee braces or ace bandages at times, I was teaching an aerobic class almost full time at one point, and running and walking all the time just to keep that drive of physical fitness working for me, when actually it was really starting to work against me!!!! I started to even work out in the middle of the night when I was unable to sleep... I had a rowing machine, stationary bike, stair stepper, treadmill, and lifted free weights while I was unable to sleep. After 2 knee surgeries, sprained ankles, and a pretty bad car accident while traveling over the snowy pass that left me in a back brace for much longer than I had wanted... I started really wanting to find a way to sleep just to not feel pain for once!!! My sister n' law and I were talking one day and she let me know about this absolutely Amazing bed that her and her husband had purchased, and she highly recommended it to her brother and I... She let me know that while she was going through Menopause now, she was suffering severely from night sweats and Insomnia from not having it cool enough and her bed comfortable enough to relax. She was really starting to suffer from Panic attacks in the middle of the night and throughout the day from lack of sleep, and going through the "Change of Life" itself.... I was starting to also suffer from "Hot Flashes" and Night Sweats where I'd wake up completely drenched from the little amount of sleep I had gotten.... I really new that at this point in life, that something really needed to change for me and my sleeping habits. So, I came online and looked up "Brooklyn Bedding" to find out more about this Amazing bed that she was raving about... It was the most comfortable bed that she had ever had, and it really kept the bed cool at night for her!!! Well, I had never heard of any bed staying cool all the time, so I was quite a skeptic in the beginning.... I was so impressed with this chat feature on here, because I'm not real crazy about using the phone to inquire about such products. After my Extremely thorough "Chat" conversation with Mario, and finding out that my purchase would include "Free Shipping", a "120 Day Risk Free Trial", and "100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee"... What did I have to lose??? We went all out and ordered the California King Size "Cool Luxe".... I was getting pretty excited for the delivery date, and when it finally arrived it was absolutely Beautiful!!! Let me just say "Pure Magnificence" The comfort was out of this world, and YES... It did stay cool all night long, and so did I!!! Guess What?? I actually slept the whole night through pain free for the first time in many many years!!! Have I told you about the magic "Coolness" that it gives off??? I'm not sure if my husband is more in love with me or our bed now??? We are true believers now, I just wish I had this bed years and years ago.... It would have saved many many sleepless nights. Now, the only problem is.... I can't manage to get out of bed anymore as quickly as I used to!!! Thank You... Thank You... Thank You.... Brooklyn Bedding for all the Joy and Comfort that I am finally feeling when I SLEEP now!!! You All are Truly "Life Savers" & "Miracle Workers"!!!!
