Good point re the cost. I agree, if I could get something that worked for a couple years for $300, I'd do it!

I have probably spent about $1,200. on foam over the years and have thrown a lot of it away! Problem with Simmons is that mine didn't even last 2 years before it was too soft. Also, the problem with Simmons is that they can get damaged just transporting it. If at any time the mattresses is folded over - like when the deliverers are moving it around corners - it can get screwed up. But if it works, and lasts 2 years, great! Personally I would go with any brand other than SImmons....

I agree with many of your comments on foam and springs.

One thing I disagree with is that I would NEVER buy a Simmons again! I think they are crap springs which are designed not to last (or at least they know they will not last). MIne lasted less than 2 years before it became absolutely useless. That was many years ago, so MAYBE they've improved them a bit, but your post suggests they have not improved them enough to warrant buying them.

I am still deciding on whether or not GOOD springs might be necessary for a comfortable foam bed (HR or latex and/or high-quality memory foam). 

I have the problem you mentioned about the bed bouncing (transfer of motion) from one side to another. My wife is a tosser-turner and finally we HAD to sleep on two twin mattresses placed side by side because I am a light sleeper and...

This mattress that I saw had 713 coils for  a queen and was $300.  It had very little foam. My thinking is that if it lasts a couple of years, so what? I spent more on foam that didn't work for me....

No one in their right mind would pay list price for a mattress set.  The going rate for the big 3 (Sealy, Serta and Simmons ) is about 50% off of list.  With a little work one can get it down even more....

After reading this forum, I've decided I agree with the concept of buying a good mattress without any pillow top and soften it with a  Latex topper. I am 6ft 3in and weigh 250lbs and typically sleep on my side. I have tested various Simmons and Sealy beds at Macy's and have no real preference but do find the latex toppers I have layed on to be very comfortable. I do though only have $1500 to spend and would welcome any recommendations on what mattress/topper combination would be a good fit for me....

Hello, I have been reading your many posts and would like to know if you can help me decide what type (thickness, firmness) of latex topper to get. I currently have a new Simmons Beauty Rest World class plush firm mattress that seems to be too firm/hard. It is uncomfortable to sleep on my side - shoulders, hip, thigh ache sometime feel numbness. In the beginning, I was able to sleep on my back, okay, but not getting a good night rest. Now, it is very uncomfortable sleeping on my back, it feels just too plain hard. So I am hoping a latex topper would soften things up and relieve some of the pressure points so that I can sleep on my side and my back. Mostly, I gravitate to my side.  I am about 5'10" 153 1bs.

I was thinking a 2 inch 24 ILD latex topper would be sufficient, but based on...

DH and I tried a SpringFree for about half an hour at a local shop about a week ago. Very firm initial feel, which we liked, but all of the big S's latex mattresses seem to have PU foam in them or some kind of extra "cushion" on top that isn't latex at all. And their cores aren't usually latex, either. Maybe in a few years, the big S companies will truly go to latex, but for now, it seems like a ripoff. Latex is just a buzz-word for them right now....
