I have had people at mattress stores look at me like I was nuts when I told them about opening up my mattress to replace the foam. I think it's funny. People seem to think that it's IMPOSSIBLE to open up a mattress and "fix it"!

I've recommended it to friends who have a mattress that is killing them but they don't want to spend the...

Hey, Alex;
So, the S and F used coil ON coil before their re-design?  I never opened up that mattress, just gave that one year old, $1,850 one away.  I have seen coil ON coil recently, promoted like it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Looks like a short pocket coil on top of some other coil. 
It really felt like the foam crapped out to me, tho.  First, the body impressions(king).  Then I slept in the middle for awhile.  Used my husband's side(he only is here a few nights a week so I can sleep wherever I want to most nights), then found myself curled all the way to the edge.  I finally figured this was NUTS when I woke to find myself curled around the very edge and across the top...last place that had any cush left.  That was very sad.

Why don't you give David Turner, owner operator, at FloBeds.com a call. He has spent 30 years in the mattress business working with your kinds of problems. He started out with waterbeds, and if memory serves, working with the VA or Medicare or some such organization trying to help patients with your kinds of problems, and worse. He now principally sells latex but he also has waterbeds and air beds. And most importantly he seems to really care and have a lot of knowledge. And as has been testified to on this website, goes out of his way to try and provide an answer to these kinds of situations.

You can go to his website as he has all kinds of information. Here is his 800 number. 1-800-356-2337

I have back issues to, but fortunately they're not troubling me now. But they were a couple of months ago and that's how I...

Remember my post where I told the story about a "long time big S manager" saying that they could hide a bicycle in a mattress and the average person would not know the difference.

For years, one of the old time scams, has been to get old mattresses and put new covers on them and sell them for new.

The principal and the primary reason that I purchased a bed today from FlowBeds was to be able to acquire a mattress where I knew exactly what was going into it, and had a great deal to say about what that something was. And if I don't like it within the first 90 days I can change it. Unzip the cover and switch it around to my heart's content. Zip the cover back on and you're in business. The truth is it's not that much more money than I was going to pay...

Twalk,

If I had to guess I'd say you have a King size mattress, yes?

I am considering purchasing a full size Simmons World Class Paris plush firm.  My partner and I are 5'4" 100lbs and 5'8" 150 lbs respectively and both sleep either on our sides or backs.  We both have tried it in store and it seems comfortable.  I have been trying to read throughout all of the information in this forum about brands, mattress life, coil strength, etc.  In regards to this particular mattress and brand I am wondering if this mattress would be worth the purchase.  I am willing to spend about $1500 for my new mattress so any other suggestions on similar brands/models in the that price range would be appreciated.  Because of it being a full size that I need, would the degradation process of either the foam or springs be the same in relation to length of time compared to a queen or king size of the same...

Hi Kait, if you look at the S&F picture from the link above you can see the coil on coil design. There is a thin padding layer between the two sets of coils. I'm wondering if that is what is giving way and causing the body impressions to form so quickly. Either that or the coil on coil design is just too unstable. All in all, it now seems like technology for marketing sake instead of a real improvement. Just more complexity that isn't needed.


Btw, I talked with someone at one of the well regarded companies that sells Talalay. He got very quiet when I mentioned I was considering opening opening the mattress and replacing the padding. He obviously thought I was nuts. When I asked why he said it is probably a spring problem not a padding problem. He said to keep sleeping on the mattress for another...
