Depending on how sensitive you are to mattresses (i.e.; if you need very good support, just the right firmness or not), you might be able to get by with a cheap PU foam topper for a while. They break down very quickly so basically, imho, are not worth even $20-30.

Most memory foam is the same way. If you want memory foam I'd suggest a Sensus piece from Overstock. Used to be the same price for a King as for a Twin, so buy the King and cut it down if your bed is less than king, use the extra for a pillow or seat cushion or whatever. Or get a 1" very soft latex for a topper. But if you don't need it, don't get anything....

Been there and done that, I didn't care for the simple eggcrate,  I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond, they don't make those good either, thats in my closet.  Then I got one at Target, it was so bad I took it back, it wouldn't even expand.

Try memory foam or latex, or featherbed (tried that too, it is in my closet).  Featherbed was really nice, but you had to fluff it every single day.

Is it miserable without anything so far? ...

Read all of our complaints here regarding that.... JMHO....

Taller is probably worse, because that means more foam that can go bad.  If possible, you should try to find out what foam is above the springs for both choices.

If you look on the Macy's website for the estate (I have a link above), there is one review that said it seemed fine at first, but after 8 hours it was like a sinkhole.  Yikes.  That would be my fear. That is a sign of too much foam.  You can't take one review too seriously, but my guess is the luxury has less foam since it is firmer and shorter.  That is probably less risky.  The estate coil system might be better in theory, but who knows in practice.  

There is the Estate Ultra Firm which was very firm.  Hard...

I haven't slept a full night in it yet (got it delivered today) but took a nap on it and I could easily stand it the way it is.

I just thought a cheap topper could make it feel a tad more comfy....

New mattress in :)

Much firmer compared to the Simmon's obviously. Would it be bad to start with one of those basic egg crate foam pads to soften it up a little?...

Some info I found online comparing the Luxury and Estate collections.....


The Chestnut St. is S&F's starting model...the "H" grade and in their Luxury Collection. The Luxury Collection models have 825 (queen count), individually pocketed coil with one coil in each pocket. The Governor's Palace is the "P" grade in the Estate Collection. The Estate models have 651 (queen count) individually pocketed coils with a dual coil in each pocket. Besides being their stronger unit, the "P" grade has a layer of latex in it, which the Chestnut St does not have.
Every level in the S&F line is available in a Luxury Plush or Luxury Firm...with or without a pillowtop. The "H" grade lux. plush is 13" the "P" grade is 15.25" thick.
All the S&F models are well made. If you are of average weight, it really only comes down to personal comfort. If you...
