No, I do not currently work for the mattress industry. I'm recently retired after thirty-five years of running my own shop. After doing it for so long I can't help but still follow the industry and still have the vendor contacts I made over that time. Retirement is considerably more boring than I'd anticipated.
Cloud, I can only talk from my personal experience and sales over thirty-five years. It's true some people are dissatisfied with their mattress. Picking one is difficult. Often people do it incorrectly and this is a large contribution to their dissatisfaction. The vast majority of consumers, however, enjoy their sleep product for the amount of time they're supposed to. In a good quality spring mattress this is between 8-10 years. 6-8 is you and your partner are considered very heavy.
It's all about buying the right mattress for who you are...

I thought after all of the detailed information about Sealy and Stearns and Foster mattresses that you must work for them. I am surprised to learn that you're actually sleeping on a competitors mattress. What kind of work do you actually do.You seem to be quite knowledgeable about mattresses, let me ask you your opinion about foundations for latex mattresses.
I have actually started a new thread on this subject with more explanation than I will give here.
What is your opinion about the necessity for a ventilated foundation for a latex mattress. I ask this because I have a good foundation but it does not have ventilation as it is for a water bed....

Just a FYI.
I've mentioned before that so many things in life are simply gimmicks...and I wonder how many of these crazy springs and special foams are such.

Are you saying that Stearns and Fosters pocketed coil is an offset coil?
Are you saying that Simmons is no longer gluing their pocketed coil and instead are sewing them?
I believe that if this what you are saying that it is incorrect. Can anyone from Sealy or Simmons respond?...

I am sure it is, just not on the corp. web sites. In fact I have learned more from you about Sealy and S&F than anywhere else. And I have been in the hunt for several weeks now, night and day!
I feel you must work for them or else you are in the mattress business some way. I seem to hear "vestested interest" speaking. Nothing wrong with this. But at the same time it does tend to shape your point of view.....yes?
You also said: "First, regarding the Stearns you mentioned, you don't want all organic latex. You wouldn't enjoy it, it'd be hot and wouldn't last long." Alex this fly's in the face of everything I have read in my several week,...

One thing about these slat foundations….the cost! Some as high as $800.00. I have found one that is fairly popular for $250.00 the VersiFlex, or some such name....

We've sold a lot on Craigslist (mostly Pottery Barn stuff - a couch, bed, console table, coffee table, but also a car, tent, sporting goods stuff) and it has all gone very quickly...until now. People just aren't buying around here. We usually list something on CL for a little more than we...

I called three local mattress stores around town that all carried Sealy products. I posed as a mattress shopper and told them I was interested in a Sealy Posturepedic Signature series bed. I asked them the following questions:
- What type of coil is in the mattress and can you describe it to me?
- What is the gauge of the coil?
- What types of foams are in the mattress?
- What kind of ticking is in the mattress?
Every single one of places I called gave me the correct information to these four questions. One guy had to ask another salesman for the gauge of the coil. This information is enough for 99% of the consumer world to make a buying decision. Just for Jim though I asked the following followups
-Can you tell me the exact thickness of each layer of foam?
-Can you tell me the ILDs of the...

You are quite happy with your Simmons Rosalyn mattress. I am glad for you. However as seen on this website, while the majority, namely 52%, give this mattress a thumbs-up review,42% give it thumbs down. These reviews can be found at viewpoints.com under Simmons -- beauty rest -- black -- Rosslyn -- mattress.
To give these figures more meaning I will quote what they have on their website. Out of 31 reviews... 42% gave it five stars, 16% 4 stars, 0% gave it 3 stars, 10% gave it 2 stars and a whopping...

Your mistake is an exceptionally common one if it makes you feel any better. Here's why:
If you're replacing an old mattress because it hurts your back (especially because of it sags) your body will cry out for something firm, something hard to help your body heal. So, you'll go to the store where the beds have been broken in more than your new model and that firm will feel wonderful. You'll take it home and for your first several weeks to a month your back is in Heaven as it heals from the saggy old bed you had before. After awhile, however, your back is healed and the rest of your body begins to complain. As a side sleeper, you're extra sensitive to too hard of a mattress and you're feeling those coils pushing up into your hips and shoulders, cutting off the blood flow. Your body naturally turns away from...
