Search Results For "Gardner"

What kinds of mattresses should I try out there and how long do I try each one for? I know I need a firm core/certain amount of support but don't know my other preferences (eg innerspring, waterbed, memory foam, latex, topper, etc). Also is it possible to have a firm core and have it be comfortable? I want it to give a lot of support.

My current one is a full and I am 5'7''...

Are you familiar with the Newton and Woburn locations of Gardner Mattress? They are closer to me but I could also go to Salem.

Any opinions on toppers, should I consider getting a really firm mattress and then using a topper to try to combine the best of both worlds, that is good support + comfort? Is this possible? I almost always sleep on my back but probably turn a bit during the night.

Also, is there any way to search this forum by just the topic threads? The search functionality doesn't seem that great and I don't want to answer questions that have already been discussed.

That might be the problem; I'm not sure.

When I'm on my side, the bottom shoulder feels crunched. If I push down on my bottom shoulder to raise myself up, then my spine straightens. 

I'm wondering if the springs -- even if they're in relatively decent condition overall -- could have started to wear down unevenly, since the mattress was resting on what is essentially a slatted foundation, not a real box spring. Dunno; just a thought.

The problem might just be that these offset coils are not the right kind of coils for me, and either pocket coils or old-fashioned Bonnell would be better.
