Another person falls in love with Original Mattress Factory beds....!  I too had the same experience in May when I felt like Goldilocks.when I tried every bed in the store. I too loved those latex beds, but they were way out of my  price line.  I was torn between the Legacy firm and the Ortho firm.  I ultimately wound up the the Ortho ultra firm, with no "topper" or foam on top.  Boy, after 6 weeks, I do regret not getting the bed with a topper built it.  My bed is extremely firm and I am in pain every night.  I purchased a foam "eggcrate" topper a few weeks ago, but it just made the pain worse.  I have had back surgery, and thought I needed the hardest mattess out there...I should have stuck with the Legacy...but, too much "testing" of all those beds made me second guess myself.  I...

Your bed sounds almost exactly like the bed I had made last November.   I had some trouble with the bed being too firm for my shoulders when we got it, took a long while for it to get super comfy.  I bought a mattress topper that is filled with poly-fiber(sort of a down-comforter type thing...probably much like a Cuddlebed) and use that...shoulder problem solved!  Now I am super comfy.  I don't know why the foam does this...but 4&quot; of qualtiy P/U foam, even if soft, seems hard to sleep on at first.  I love my offset coils(sound exactly like yours), the cotton batting, everything.  Oh, and the box spring has actual springs too.  <BR>I have to remember to do my low back stretch a couple times a week(described on other posts) which is a huge part of my low back pain issue...but I don't wake...

hi zzzzzzzs,<BR><BR>what's the motion transfer like on that mattress?<BR><BR>thanks, and wishing you lots of sweet dreams on it...;)

Thanks for the wishes! I have had a few exceptionally sweet dreams and I'm sure that's attributable to how much better I'm sleeping. :-) As for the motion transfer, this is a pretty solid mattress with heavy gauge coils, so the transfer is very slight, if not negligible. I noticed that right away about the ortho line when I "test drove" the OMF mattresses. No bounciness whatsoever. My acrobatic stunt cat sometimes leaps from the top of the dresser onto the bed, and I feel absolutely nothing. I have no idea how often this happens in the middle of the night, which probably happens much more frequently now that I'm not being awoken at 1 AM and shooing her off...

Thanks for updating, I was a little worried earlier. I'd go with the extra rather than ultra firm. I think if you get the mattress back to thier warehouse within 90 days that they will rebuild the mattress with your springs for very cheap. They do that here in Ohio.

Worried about the PU foam layers? Me too! Geez, even before my mattress arrived at the store I was having panic attacks and nightmares (that I was trapped in mattress "sink holes"). It never occurred to me that the foam would cause problems right off the bat (because of its inability to conform to body contours, not because of sink holes, that is).

I wish the OMF here in PA performed mattress reconstruction, but they've recently changed their policy. They have a "comfort exchange policy" that allows for a one-time exchange...

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who has kindly contributed their input in my previous threads. I've learned quite a bit about mattresses and toppers, what to look for and what to avoid, and I'm certain that right now I'd be 100% happy with my mattress if only I'd heeded *all* of the sage advice I've been given (but sometimes you just have to forge ahead stubbornly and make your own mistakes, none of which I plan to ever repeat). The OMF mattress that felt absolutely perfect in the show room is now causing me grief, mainly in the form of lower back aches. To those of you enamored of the convenience of purchasing an innerspring mattress that feels great in the store, here's what I've learned: if you suffer from any back issues whatsoever, get the firmest model possible with the least amount of PU foam,...

After having bought and rejected two mattresses in a two-month period (one was memory foam, the other, an iCoil innerspring), I think I've finally found my perfect mattress...with reservations. Here is my bittersweet tale: I visited the Original Mattress Factory with every intention of purchasing a low-end offset coil model with very little padding so that I could have the option of using toppers to create a customizable and easily replaceable comfort layer. I was torn between the Regency and the Orthopedic Extra Firm. While weighing the relative advantages and disadvantages of each, I walked around the showroom, flopping down indiscriminately on one mattress, then another (all I can say is <i>thank god</i> the Orthopedic Euro Top was out of my price range, because it is seriously like being enveloped in the most comfortably supportive substance on earth...and all that super soft padding is just one big...

Sorry about your lower back- that is scary as my husband has lower back issues.. but I think the deal is everyone is different.
Also it DOES take time to 'break in ' a bed as well.
-Glad to hear that there is a minimum of movement
however. that seemed to be the case when we were jumping on beds in the store.
I wanted to get 2 twin beds and put them on a king frame- my husband is a "romantic" and wanted one bed so we were able to agree on this
Ortho.Ultra Plush one.

OH well- I am hoping I don't get rousted up when he gets up for headaches and such in the middle of the night..
.. good luck with the cat- they are something.
We have a miniature poodle and he sleeps outside the bedroom on a cute bed.. he snores really loud
so there was no choice. Sinus problems.  In a dog...

 Just checking to see if you like your mattress ?. We are getting one delivered on July 7.   Ortho. Ultra Plush - King..
previously we bought mattresses for a college age daughter at  a campus apt . and my father -in -law in a retirement community.
Great basic beds for both.. this is the most expensive bed we have bought from OMF..
.. Also for US. We had a nightmare experience with a Serta ( ha ha ) PERFECT SLEEPER. . we really paid big bucks for.
so never again with them.IT was not
flippable- and THAT DOES make a difference! Wow and the national brand prices are going through the roof-
we just couldn't afford the NEWS Serta of similar quality- several HUNDRED dollars more at the furniture store.

I feel that the prices are excellent at OMF and the two mattresses we bought for others are still in service and no
problem.. although I doubt...
