I went today and slept on a TON of beds and found the most comfortable for me was the "SIMMONS BEAUTYREST World-Class Plush-Firm.......". It wasnt a pillowtop and had only a little padding on top the coils. I come to this site though, hoping to find good reviews, and am really disappointed. All reviews found here on the Beautyrest are negative.
The only two mattresses I have ever had have BOTH been Sealy Posturepedics and BOTH sagged horribly in the middle after 6 months. I don't want the same experience for me and my new wife. And even though the Beautyrest was so comfortable, I dont want something with bad reviews from other people.
I always like to make the best informed decision possible, I just feel lost in trying to make the best choice. I even tried to find a flip-style model, as I read on here that may be the best bet, but...

I'm going to check out a local manufacturer that uses Leggett & Platt coils, but unfortunately, they don't make their mattresses zippered. If I'm not impressed, I think I'm going to go with the Sealy Posturepedic "RESERVE" Thistle Meadow Plush. http://www.us-mattress.com/sealy-reserve-thistle-meadow-plush.html
It gets great reviews and was very comfy at my local mattress chain that's closing all of it's stores. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a few years out of it before replacing the foam....

I've posted before about our trials purchasing a king mattress: in the last 5 years we've purchased two king sized mattresses, each around $1200, and both developed body impressions and lost their support (resulting in getting up in the morning to very sore bodies) within a year or less. We though latex was the answer and purchased a Sealy Reflexion Huntington Beach king, thinking "latex is the answer" only to suffer from loss of support, body impressions, etc. within a year (we found out too late it has a cheap PU top layer that apparently has degraded and lost it's support.)
Now my wife is finally saying she can't stand it anymore - she gets up sore every morning. And to top it off, I herniated a disc in my back last week. So we HAVE to buy a new mattress now.
I"ve read all the horror stories, lived a couple myself...

Hello to all,
I read as much as I could from old posts, but a lot of the posts I saw didnt help narrow anything down for me. I'll start by saying that I am looking for a medium-firm mattress in KING size. Not only do I like the feel of medium-firm and some plush-firms, I hear they are better for us back sufferers. I want to spend 2,000 or under TOTAL.

Help finding a not-so-expensive latex "plush" - speeder

I went around mattress shopping today for a queen. Stopped by Sleepy's, Ikea and Macy's. I would don't want to spend an arm and a leg but I was trying to get a bearing on what I would like to get.
At Sleepy's, I really liked the S&F 'Garden Grove' latex mattress for cool $1400 w/o box spring. It was plush on top, with a solid firm not-springy feel. I did not like the tempurpedic mattress at all. Sealy posturepedic 'Plus' were OK. I also liked the Miralux 'plush' but I read some reviews about them and will stay away.
I went to Ikea and checked out their latex mattress and was rather disappointed, especially for the price. For $900, 7" is simply way too skinny of a mattress. I don't know what the Ikea mattress is made of, or why the S&F Latex felt a million times different/better.
I also went to Macy's,...

Hello all, there is a dealer around here called Mattress Firm that I have been checking out for a new mattress. They offer a 90 day comfort guarantee and have Sealy and Simmons mattresses. I am looking for a 'plush' mattress and have narrowed it down to the following
Sealy Posturepedic Seaview Pines Plush--Queen listed at 899
Sealy Posturepedic English Arbour Plush--Queen listed at 1099
Simmons Beautyrest Lilac Plush--Queen listed at 699
Has anyone dealt with this company before? If so how was your experience?
I know that these 3 mattresses probably have about 20 different names from different retailers, but I am going to assume that they are all the same in the 'plush' category in this price range from these manufacturers.
Is this a safe price range to shop in? These are the prices listed on the site http://www.mattressfirm.com/Mattresses.aspx
What kind of price can I expect to negotiate...

This US-Mattress website has a handy reference to the components of the Sealy/Simmons/Serta latex mattresses. Of course you have to figure out which mattress compares to the one you are looking at as they are all branded under different names. It looks like the one you looked at might be the Sealy Posturepedic SpringFree Latex Garden Vine Plush on this chart:
US-Mattress is offering this mattress for $1,259 for a Queen and $1,511 for a King, so no, you're not getting a special deal.
FYI, according to Sealy, "SuperSoft SealyFoam" is high density polyurethane foam.

Cptab,
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...

I purchased a queen "Vilamoura" mattress Mattress Warehouse several months ago. I'm not sure what it is labeled ass at other stores (maybe lukasa/lusaka?), but it is visco firm, has a very small pillow-ish looking top and has 900-something springs. I think it "listed" at $1,500-$1,600, but I got a slightly better deal b/c I don't need a box spring (platform bed). Anyway, it felt great in the store esp. and it didn't bother my problematic back (lumbar disk issue). However, now that I'm sleeping on it, I wake and toss and turn througout the night. I'm a side sleeper and my shoulder doesn't sink in. Thus, my upper body becomes contorted. Moreover, my hip is sore from contact all night. Unfortunately, it is too late to return and I think I need to revert to a softer mattress. Lesson learned...I...
Is it worth it to try to augment an innerspring mattress that feels too firm to begin with? - lauren_09

So, i recently purchased an older (second hand) sealy posturepedic "firm" mattress. I intentionally bought a second hand one because I am using it on a lofted (aka really high, I can stand under it) platform bed and wanted my mattress to not be too thick, so it wouldn't create a problem with ceiling clearance when i set up. This mattress i bought is in good condition. The only problem is that when i was testing it out, it felt ok, but now that i've gotten it home it feels.. well.. too firm. It has not been used often, and I can't feel the springs, so it's still in relatively good shape (besides apparently being too firm for me.)
I'm a side sleeper, and i've been having a lot of weird symptoms lately - numbness in my hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy) that sometimes lasts...
