You can generally do better at mattress stores, if you know how to haggle and especially if you have some time to shop around and get various prices from various stores. Keep trying to beat the price from one store to another. Yeah, they have different names on the mattresses but you can generally tell by the look and feel of it. Plus, with Simmons it will still be in the Classic line, the Anniversary line, the World Class line...

It too late for this but our previous mattress was a Simmons plush and though it wasn't that model (they change names with the seasons....probably to keep everyone confused), after about 9 months my wife and I had back pain and permanent dents in the cheap poly foam used on top.  We gave it to my daughter, and now she has back pain (nice dad).  Anyway, I wouldn't buy another Simmons or other "S" brand unless is was about $10 and I could throw it away in 6 months.  Right now I have a firm latex mattress with softer latex layers to cushion my shoulders for side sleeping.   That's the route I would go....but that's not what you asked.  Once the PU foam starts to sag, layers of latex won't really fix that problem effectively (I don't think), because that sagging mattress is now your base, and the latex will...

That is correct.  Many people LOVE their mattresses after a few weeks or even months.  My Simmons Beautirest was great for the first 9 months, then it started sagging and deteriorating.   After a year, I was starting to have back pain and after 1.5 years, it had to go.  Not a very good investment for the money I spent on it.  I won't make that mistake again....buying a mattress with Poly foam in the top comfort layers, whether it is a pillow top or just a typical "S" brand mattress built for planned obsolescence.

IMO you might want to do some reading on pillowtops in general. From what I've gathered, pillowtops tend to form indentions and body impressions rather quickly. I also believe pillowtops can't be flipped, I could be wrong on this so I'd suggest you do more research on pillotops.

According to the most recent 10K filings with the SEC, Sealy does manufacture its own foam (which is not to say it doesn't license and outsource its manufacturing through licensees), but Simmons outsources all of its supplies and does not claim to manufacture its own foam. Serta is owned by a private equity firm and that company does not post filings with the SEC, so no public information is available on that company with the SEC.

For what it's worth...hope this helps.

I too have read in a number of places that your should never buy a pillowtop mattress.  They use cheap foam in the pillowtop and it wears quickly and you have indentations in the pillowtop, which cannot be replaced....

Haggel a little bit.  If there are more than a few mattress stores around they most likely will try to match their competitions price.  atleast thats what would happen around here

First I would like to disclose that I am a mattress store owner since 8 years back. I am currently running just one store which I also am acting like the sales person in. I sell or have sold brands like Hastens, Tempur-pedic, Comfor-pedic (before Simmons Bought them out), Serta, Spring Air, Englander, Simmons, Sealy, Sterns & Foster, Natura, NexGel, Corsicana, Symbol, Kaymed. 

I would like to give you my opinion on the mattress industry as well as on the Icomfort product...

1. Density of foam is a measurement of quality in most cases but not always. There are fillers that will make a foam denser but not necessary a higher quality.

2. memory foam/visco foam/tempur-material are all sleeping warmer because they are dense, they compress under weight and they trap the body heat of the sleeper inside of the foam. A mattress needs...

Simmons Comforpedic Free Spirit King is what I finally decided upon after alot of research. I tested it out at Sleepys multiple times and really felt the firm was my choice. It is scheduled to be delivered this Thurs-Friday.

This weekend I had 2 nights of bad sleep on my current mattress an ended up back in the showroom wishing I had my new bed. The problem is I laid down on the firm that I had loved so much last week and it was uncomfortable, I tried the top of the line firm which is a bit plusher in the comforpedic line and it was better but still not great. I hopped on the Plush and I was in heaven again. Which left me scratching my head in confusion.

I assume its because my back was so bad from 2 poor nights of rest (Low...
