You need to find out what exactly is in the top of the Stearns and Foster Eurotop.  If it is all latex or combo of latex/quality memory foam, with no PU foam, or just a tad of PU stitched to the fabric, then it should be o.k.  But if the Eurotop is full of PU foam, then stay away from it and go with a tighttop and add your own topper.  The only disadvantage to that approach is you do lose direct contact with the mattress's top fabric which in the Stearns and Foster does tend to be a higher quality fabric.  Sleeplikeabear sells some nice looking (I have no personal experience with them) topper covers/encasements that have wool quilted to them that could be a good substitute for the luxury quilting on top of the S&F that you will be covering up.  Whatever you do, avoid going with a...

Full disclosure:

You'll not find (m)any fans here of S brand beds, that includes S&F.

I agree with pianoman. If you buy an S brand you'll end up needing to buy a new bed soon OR do mattress surgery on it, so either buy a cheap spring bed knowing you're going to do surgery on it (that's the way to go if you don't think you'll like an all-foam mattress, like me) or make a DoItYourself all-foam mattress from either all latex, latex+PU or latex+memory foam.

Look at the Highlighted Threads at the top part of the page for more info.

Good luck.

p.s. If you and your girlfriend are the type that have no back or joint issues and can "sleep on anything" then maybe the S&F will work for you. In general, S Co mattresses are just not...

Roy,

Mike is correct.  Sealy does not make a 100% Talalay latex mattress.   Do not take a salesman's word for the contents of a mattress, EVER.  What you need to do is look at the contents TAG on the mattress.  If you do, you will see the contents of the mattress and you will see it is not 100% latex.

From the Sealy website, three lines of mattresses containing latex, none of them 100% latex:

Sealy brand latex foam - has a PU core

Embody by Sealy Latex Foam - latex and memory foam

Stearns & Foster Limited Edition Silver Dream - 2 inches of latex

Stearns & Foster Limited Edition Golden Elegance - a full three inches of latex!

Mike, do an internet search for Land and Sky mattresses in...

I can either go with Simmons Tight-top, or Stearns and Fosters Tight-top? Any preference between the two?

Don't know enough about them to have an opinion, sorry.

After looking in the forums, it seems that any form of pillowtop is a bad idea. When I tried the one I bought, it was much more comfortable with the "euro pillowtop firm" than without and helped with the motion transfer for me and my gf.

1.) Should I switch to a Stearns Firm without the pillowtop?

The cheap PU foam in the pillowtops is what breaks down after several years and creates problems in the S-brand mattresses. Consider switching to the S&F Firm w/out the pillowtop and adding a 2" soft latex topper for comfort.

2.) Any other brands within my range that is better? (Simmons Beautyrest, Sealy? Serta?) on Macy's

No strong opinion here.

3.) What would you get if you had a budget of $1000 for...

Just re-read your post and I'll change my tune a little bit. Even though you said your mattress is too firm, it does use the word "Pillowtop" in the description, which gives me pause.

 

I think perhaps you should instead go for the S&F Tighttop and then add a topper. A latex topper will last a looong time... the eggcrate topper I mentioned in the earlier post may last several years. But toppers are easily replaced... pillowtops aren't.

I would NOT exchange for a mattress with a bigger, plusher "pillowtop", "eurotop" or anything that would increase the amount of cheap PU foam in the mattress. You'd be asking for trouble with sagging/craters/body impressions just a couple years down the road. Just my two cents.


Thanks,...

Memory Foam Matress or Latex Set-up from FoambyMail - kd12

Thanks for you advice and help on the other thread. I have decided to cancel my order for the Stearns and Foster mattress and go with either a memory foam matress or latex matress through foambymail.

I quickly realized that getting a euro pillowtop will be a very bad idea for me very quickly.

 

I have read some of the members experience on here with memory foam and latex but

I need some help on deciding which one would be the one for me from foambymail.

 

The memory foam matress that I would get from them is:

4" Slow Recovery Foam - 5.5 lbs/ft.3
w/ 5" LUX-HQ (Firm) Foam - 2.6-2.8 lbs/ft.2
Queen Mattress (60" x 80")

price -...

UPDATE: CANCELLED ORDER. Going to go with the advice of people on this board on memory foam or latex. I set-up a new thread to ask for help. Thanks.!

 

I've recently discovered this forum after purchasing this mattress from Macys after trying a lot of beds they had.

From trying the different beds that were at Macys. For the beds within my limited price range, this bed seemed to be by far the most comfortable for me.

I'm in my early 20's (180/lbs/with some arch) and my 15 year old mattress springs are making sounds when I'm sitting down while my back is starting to hurt. 

Here is the link: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=397587&CategoryID=25946

It was $899 pretax without boxspring. I know for the price, I can't expect much and I will plan on upgrading in the future. The matress hasn't been delivered yet so I...
