If you bought the mattress in another state you might have a hard time getting an adjustment under warranty. Most mattresses are made in regional factories and have to be returned to the one that made it--at the customer's expense. Not worth it....

OK, my Simmons Beautyrest mattress is a high-quality mattress but as we all know we need a topper to make it a little softer, especially if you are a side sleeper (as I am).

I have purchased 3 different mattress toppers:
1. 2" soft latex by foambymail.com
2. 2" super soft conventional foam by foambymail.com
3. 3" memory foam Isotonic by Bed Bath & Beyond (the one in the orange box - the topper has big holes in it)

I have tried every which combination of the 3 above.

I purchased the conventional foam because they told me that the memory foam tends to run hot.  OK, conventional foam is the worst.  It is the softest foam that they make but it's like sleeping on a lawn chair.  It just feels not right.

The latex is a pretty supportive and good material but the problem with latex is that it is not squishy.  If you had a...

oh - so the reason i don't recommend the Black is it's basically the same mattress as other WorldClass models, but with some useless "luxury" fluff like cashmere and silk thrown in that have no effect on the performance of the mattress - they just feel nice in the showroom. underneath it all is the same pillow-top foam that'll likely have impressions after a few years. the Exceptionale is supposedly better than the Black in terms of construction, but if they all have pillow tops that collapse does it really matter?

i haven't actually owned a pillow top myself, but everywhere i look it seems like someone is complaining about their poor durability. even some of the salespeople i've asked have said the pillowtop isn't really warranted for impressions and doesn't last as long as the rest of the mattress. so like others here, i'm currently looking into getting a...

i actually wound up getting a tempurpedic classic from Sleepys (bleh). they are shady but as long as you know what you're getting into i guess it's ok. tempurpedics are price-fixed so there's no bargaining on price, but i got some things thrown in to make it a halfway-decent deal.  that said, the bed is killing me... my wife loves it and has never slept better but it's contorting me out of shape. nothing wrong with the mattress, just a bad fit for me personally... not sure what i'm going to get now, sigh....

my experience is 50% off at macy's is the normal selling price elsewhere. their prices are never very good unless you can get something much steeper, like 60-75% off.

i almost bought a Simmons Beautyrest Black (around $3k) at macy's until i did a little more research... that would have been a terrible waste of money....

Interesting! Wow I didn't even go to the store yet and I already start hating buying a mattress as much as I hate buying a car. I wish Costco had a bigger selection. I know its not the cheapest, but at least I know I won't get totally ripped off. Thanks again....

So where did you end up buying a mattress? Was it still the Black?

Thanks!...

Hi,

This will be the first time I will actually buy a new mattress. I just got a job and so far always bought futtons or a used mattress as our last one. The last used one we bought (I got married) was a 3 year old Simmons Beautyrest WorldClass Exceptionale Diamond Firm (it was a good deal I though; $230 including a nice frame and bed side tables) and we slept really good on it the last 2 years. But we are moving out of state for our new jobs and I don't want to fill half of our truck with just our bed and I don't know if it will be still as comfy after moving halfway through the U.S. 

I saw Macys has a sale going on and they advertised the Simmons Beautyrest WorldClass Angelique Extra Firm King size for $2150 (instead of $4090. I hope somone on this...

Who died and left you in charge? It's a mattress forum, you must be pathetic in real life if all you can do here is blast anyone who asks a question.

Next to buying a tombstone, this is probably the hardest decision you have to make.  Sadly, there are many people in my industry who take advantage of people and give all of us a bad name.  I will try to remedy that with some honest advice.

For the most part, the advice given on the welcome page is solid.  Follow those guidelines and your experience will be a good one.  As far as the types of beds, you generally have firm, plush, and pillowtop.  For many years, people were told the firmer the better.  This could not be further from the truth!  That myth led to generations of back problems.  It drives me crazy when a person comes in and says my doctor or my chiropractor told me to get the firmest bed you have.  I usually tell them to get a new doctor!  For the people who do not walk out on...
