Re: Stay away from Simmons brand, researching a "Diamond" brand mattress - cloud9

Unfortunately most S-brand mattresses are made pretty much the same way. Layers of cheap PU and low grade memory foam that quickly develop body impressions. Pillowtops are notorious for sagging. It's not just Simmons -- you hear the same complaints about all of them.
Those restocking fees are are awful. Since you are thinking about getting a memory foam mattress and you only have a week to decide what to do about the one you're currently sleeping on, I would suggest going over to Bed Bath and Beyond and getting a memory foam topper. Two inches at least, and if you like a soft bed no more than 3". If you buy the topper there you can return it if you don't like it or decide to return the bed to Macy's.
A word about MF mattresses-- be careful what you buy. All MF is NOT created equal. Cheaply made...

Do you live in the Bay area of California? If so, have you tried out a McRoskey mattress yet? That's a good old fashioned cotton-stuffed mattress that gets high reviews. A bit pricey, though. But I hear they last a long time.
Also, do you ever get to Santa Cruz? This is the mattress I have: http://baybed.com/ If you search for my other posts, you'll see which one I have. I really like being able to unzip the cover to change the foams inside.
Good luck! I would stay away from any mainstream mattress, though. Simmons and otherwise.

Thank you for contributing! I wish your post was here before I went shopping.
I've heard the rate of returns does not necessarily have anything to do with the rate of complaints. Specifically, I've heard the pocketed coil mattresses where the coils are not tempered end up having a high rate of complaints but they have a low rate of returns because the warranty is crafted to prevent those kinds of returns. It's nice that individually pocketed coils help prevent motion transfer, but the tradeoff is they no longer support each other so you can have individual coils bend or otherwise fail. If that's true, your statement is true but...

Mattress for side sleeper? - resteasy

I just bought a Simmons plush, pillow top pocket coil bed, 16 gauge coils. Slept on it for less than a week and my hips ached and I tossed and turned all night. It feels like the springs are hitting my hps when I lay down. I have arranged to exchange it but I can't make any additional exchanges after this. I'm wondering if I'm better off getting a bed without a pillow top and putting my own memory foam topper on it. Any suggestions. I'm really wishinng I hadn't bought a Simmons....
Memory Foam Topper to help with Sciatica - Amlar

I have been looking through a lot of the posts here on toppers, either latex or memory foam, and need some help. First, some background on us. We have a year old spring mattress, which is the W Bed by Simmons and a feather bed on top of that. My wife is currently suffering through her first ever bought of sciatica. According to the doctor we can expect more flare ups throughout her life due to the cause in her case. The pain is worse when she is trying to sleep so I have been researching different options for helping her. I have seen many references to putting a memory foam topper on our current mattress as a way of making her more comfortable by taking pressure off her pressure points. So I have been trying to find the best option for this and am confused. One last bit of...

The simmons mattresses I tried were the beautyrest felicia plush which was later exchanged for the beautyrest felicia extra firm which has a reasonable amount of padding. The adrian is the next step down in pricing, personally, I would not be willing to take any more chances with this brand. They either sag or if firmer, are very uncomfortable. Good luck....

Purchased a simmons beautyrest plush pillow top from Macy's in May of this year. The mattress was very comfortable however within two months it had sagged one and a half inches or more. My weight is 155lbs and I am a side/back sleeper. Macy's took the mattress back and instead of exchanging for another plush, I decided on a Simmons beautyrest firm mattress figuring that it would be less likely to sag.
The simmons firm mattress turned out to be the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on and I am planning on returning it. At present, I am sleeping on the bed in the guest bedroom. My recommendation, stay away from simmons mattresses.
Am considering a memory foam mattress and came across a "Diamond" royalty memory foam for $1288 at a local store here in the Bay Area , however I have not been able to find...

As someone who found this forum in my excruciating search for just the right mattress last week, here's my experience and recommendations re: Diamond Mattresses.
I owned and slept on very comfortably a Diamond (model: Spinal Pedic “Prestige”). Bought it 10 years ago, around the time (I believe) the industry started making plush-type pillowtops. Or at least they hadn't been making them for years as it was hell finding sheets that would fit 15” deep mattresses! I was concerned the pillowtop would depress over time and create impressions, but to my surprise, it NEVER did. (No memory foam or latex was used in pillowtops back then.
About 2 years ago, I started having some occasional back issues. Never thought it was my bed, till recently when it became more chronic and consistent. Well, finally my dense head realized it could be my mattress. (And have now learned that mattresses should be changed...

I'm in the BayArea too, and was considering a Simmons "Adrian" Firm from Macys. Which Simmons Firm did you end up with, that you don't like?
I am looking to replace a "great" (says my girlfriend) bed (a S&F firm euro pillowtop) because it has cavernous body impressions and feels like i'm being swallowed up and hammocked with my shoulders all hunched up. I need something firm and flat, but comfortable too of course.
Ideally, after lots of research, i'd go for a natural Latex bed, if i could find an affordable one that i could also TRY before buying.. that's that catch, it seems! i saw the Royal-Pedic at Spring on Polk st yesterday.. LOVED it but *very* expensive. Macy's has Sealy SpringFree, but its synthetic latex (not natural) and i wasn't that impressed for the money, and MemoryFoam is not for me. A friend got a bed from European Sleepworks,...

Kane,
This is a great post!
I bought a King Simmons Beauty Rest 10 years ago and when I got it home for the first little while I woke up after 4 or 5 hours completely relieved and fresh ready to go!
10 years later it is fully hammocked on both sides, and my wife and I are quite tired when we wake up needing a new mattress. We have been all over the place searching and happened our way to IKEA to look for something else. I have to mention that we were QUITE impressed with IKEA as well ... interested with the ERFJORD King ... ended up trying the Tolg Latex Mattress topper hoping for a little relief despite the hammocking.
Had fabulous sleep and wanted to keep it but it was a "bum" shipment and 5" too short, and 4" not wide enough.
How is it working for you...
