I got in touch with them before the sale started to make sure they were still doing the sale this year like years past.

 

I then drove out to Salem MA to "test drive" the mattress one last time and then pre-pay for the sales tax free day here in Mass as well as 10% off.

So a mattress set normally priced out at $1499.00 minus 10% minus the 6.25% sales tax cost me $1349.00 out the door for a savings of about $244.00

Just placed an order today for my Queen Full Sacro Laced Tufted mattress from Gardner. 

I ordered early for the Massachusetts sales tax free weekend (August 15-16), and not only saved the 6.25% sales tax but got 10% off and two free latex pilows as well.

I'll post back after I spend some time on it.

Thanks for the recommendation on Gardner. I bought a new mattress but with a money-back guarantee, so if I don't like it Gardner will be my next stop.

Lori, I did a lot of research online and noticed that reviews were all over the place and they are not properly organized (almost impossible to find by specific mattress, even the consumer reports specific mattresses in the most recent review are not available anymore since companies re-name mattresses, etc). After looking at several review websites and Consumer Reports, I ended up just looking at the highest rated brands in consumer reports. They wait some period of time after the consumer purchases the mattress, maybe 1 year but I don't recall. The top 3 in terms of overall satisfaction were tempurpedic, sleep number, and the original mattress factory (don't remember the order), based on thousands of reviews by discerning customers....

Inquisitive:

i hope I haven't reached you too late.

i would go to Gardner Mattress in Salem (Google them - they have branches now in Woburn and other places. They are the only place I know of that still hand-tufts beds (like they USED to be made.) you can get a be that will last you literally decades. They are more expensive than Sleepyd but not much. Stay away from the other stores! I've been through it all.

their beds are on the firmer side, they'll be firmer than they feel in the store too. 

They make beds with beautiful talalau latex instead of cheap foams. Latex lasts much longer and doesn't break down for years. Is also free of chemical odors. I spent $1500 on a food full size bed there a few years ago.

I thought that this list should be updated since some of the companies listed on here are no longer in business or carrying different products. These are in no particular order.

  • The Organic Mattress (Sudbury).  High quality organic mattresses at a reasonable. Looking to spend $20k on a mattress? They have Vi-Spring, but it doesn't have latex inside of it.
  • Naturepedic (Wellesley) Wide selection of organic mattresses.
  • Jordans.  Carries PranaSleep, a hybrid latex mattress.
  • Gardner Mattress (Salem, Newton, & Woburn) They make a good quality mattress and have been doing it since the 30s.  They're wicked old.

I do not have experience with cotton/wool in replacement of foams but I do have experience with Gardner's beds and latex in general.

 

The most important thing to note about Gardner is that their beds are much firmer when they arrive at your house than they are on the showroom floor. I first bought an open coil bed with 2" of latex and those coils were much too firm for me as a side sleeper. I switched it out for a pocket coil with 2" of latex and it was still quite firm but I put a 1" layer of foam on it and it was perfection. I am also a stomach sleeper so I crave the firmness of their mattresses and think Gardner makes the best spring mattress in the state.

i also have a bed from a different company that is...

Yes, Kirk was able to get me more information.  Interestingly, he personally dislikes latex mattresses as he finds them too hot.

There are differences with Gardner and other mattress manufactures in some respects. Yes, their quality is high given the money. He thinks manufacturers like Simmons have gone downhill in the last 15 years. He also acknowledges that manufacturers like ViSpring are on a whole other level of quality and they're not trying to compete. He mentions the amount of handwork in ViSpring mattresses in every aspect of the manufacturing, something that Gardner can't afford to do at their prices. Also, for the cotton/wool mattress, Gardner takes their standard pocket coil base, adds another 2" pocket coil layer, then adds two layers of cotton and one layer of wool. Some manufacturers such as Royal-Pedic might wrap the cotton fully with wool, and even do a 2-sided mattress. Gardner...

Any Thoughts On Gardner Mattress (or Any Brand, Actually) Cotton/Wool Over Pocket Coil Mattress? - AnalogJ

I'm new to the forum (but have been poking around). We went to Gardner Mattress, which is located in Salem, where we live. They have a very good reputation.

 

 

 

We are looking for a mattress using pocket coils in order to isolate movement. We have been using a Simmons Beautyrest (I'm not sure of the exact model, but it was a pillow-topped model and has served us well.).  One note -- We're primarily side sleepers. My wife and I occasionally will sleep on our backs, while she, at times, sleeps on her stomach. I weigh about 225 lbs, and that seems to weigh into choice of support material. I have been getting some back issues as I get older, so proper support and a good night's sleep is important.

 

Gardner offers three varieties of...

Jcturbo.  Congratulations on your purchase.  Was that a sales price they were offering or did you have to haggle?  Mattdud
