btw, looks like a piece of Tempur foam the lady compares in the video.  Tell you one thing, Tempurpedic Cloud is  quicker responding than the Contour line beds.

Don't know what's up, Comforpedics only listed at Babies R Us and furniture stores in our area.  Never saw one at Mancini's, SleepTrain, Sears, Macys or Penneys.

I've seen some other intersting coil / memory foam beds from Simmons though.


In the video above, the lady shows how NxG memory regains its shape quicker than 'ordinary' memory foam (which looks just like basic Tempur foam), but, only the contour line has regular Tempur foam at the surface as I recall.  I would bet Tempur ES foam...

Re: need recommendations for coil mattress for adjustable bases - slpngoc

Check with retailer, but I believe pretty much all the Simmons mattresses are fine on adjustable bases.  I've been told most S brand coil spring mattresses are fine on adjustables.  You'd want to avoid any old school coil mattresses that have border rods in the mattress.

Simmons have individual coils and should do fine on adjustable.  I've seen a Stearns and Foster which has individual coils on an adjustable base, but there's a lot of heft in the mattress, so it doesn't conform really well to the adjustable base.  To be safe, it would seem smart to test the mattress on adjustable in the store. 

Foam mattresses will conform to adjustables.  But I didn't like the feel of my all latex mattress on adjustable.  On box spring, it was springy.  On solid top adjustable, it felt much deader. ...

Re: mattress for low back ache- spring coil or memory foam? - slpngoc

I wake up with low back ache every morning so decided to get a new mattress- mine is 15 years old. I am a side sleeper and have purchased a Simmons Beautyrest Eagleville firm set. Now I wake up in the middle of the night with excruciating low back pain. I can exchange my new mattress for another one, so am considering either getting the same one I have in a soft version (the firm one I got is like sleeping on a board), or a memory foam mattress. I laid on the firm beautyrest for about a half hour and it seemed to feel good in the store. One question I have about the memory foam mattresses is if they actually have enough support to relieve backache. I'd like to stay in the $600- $700 range. Any advice?

Re: Costco Nova foam - slpngoc

I used a Costco 2.5" Sleep Innovations gel memory foam topper for one night on top of my all latex bed .... and that memory foam slept HOT.  I sank mostly right through it and pressure relief wasn't great.

Can't speak for the mattress, but top layer is same as the topper I used.

To the OP, I think the Stearns and Foster / Sealy patterned 'box springs' are better than the Serta / Simmons I've seen.  Reason is the S&F's have a consistent 4" spacing between vertical support rods.  The Serta's box has an 8" gap in the middle support rods from head to toe (at least on the twin boxes).  There are surface rods that run head to toe, but the vertical support is 8" apart.  The result - sag in hips up to shoulder area.  That's what happened on my iComfort twin box...

If I don't get this bed, I will probably look into getting a decent, basic, firm pocketed-coil innerspring mattress (Simmons BR?) and put a good 3" Natural Talalay topper on it. About the same price, but can't get any feedback...

What Exactly is Comforpedic/NxG memory foam? - KennyH
Sep 25, 2011 12:51 AM
Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how to configure my 'perfect' supportive-yet-soft bed. So today while looking at firm pocketed-coil innersprings to put a nice topper on, I checked out a Simmons Comforpedic they had.

I've been leaning toward going with latex foam because I don't like the slow response of memory foam - makes rolling over a chore. But once I'm in position on a memory foam top, I do really like the stability, comfort and support.

But this Comforpedic bed fealt like a combo of latex & memory foam. It was quicker acting like latex, but not quite as 'bouncy' or active. It was a bit more stable and supportive like memory foam, but not as firm (especially before you heat it up).

- So does anyone know what that 'really' is from a technical standpoint?

Desperate for a good night's sleep. Looking at toppers. - gingery56
Sep 25, 2011 1:25 PM
I have not had a good night's sleep for over four years due to hip pain...both sides.  I am only a side sleeper so have to be on one hip or the other.

Bought a new Simmons Beauty Rest for $2,000 two years ago but it was too soft and caused low back pain as bad as the hip pain.  Traded for the same mattress but in a firm.  Got a Costco topper and thought I would be all set.  Not. 

Then my husband got cancer and I was sleeping in a lot of cots and chairs in hospitals which didn't help, but still had the same issues when sleeping in my own bed but too worn out as caregiver to do anything about it.

My husband died last October and I'm just now beginning to function well enough to figure out that I...
