Then in the 90's they came up with an even cheaper substitute, it's made out of wood/steel but is so rigid just like the old wood platform all it does is raise the mattress up about 7 inches. It's cheap and makes the mattress feel nice and firm, which is a win/win for the retailer. If you feel you need to pay for that, it's up to you.Quote:

Are you asking what to do with a box spring you already have or thinking one automatically comes with a new mattress? Don't know what to do with a used one besides offer it to a charity. You don't have to buy one when you get a mattress.Quote:

Any recommendations for good inflatable mattresses?
We are buying and remodeling a condo and would like a temporary but comfortable mattress that we can move around easily while working on the place and before moving in the real furniture. We'd probably use it for guests after we are done with it, so still want something rather higher end, durable, and comfortable.
Page 14 someone posted an inflatable they got from Wal-martQuote:

That's kinda the case with anywhere these days, not just Costco, but definitely a consideration. Wife just picked something out on Amazon. $100 buck with shipping. We'll see, just temporary anyway.Quote:

Some manufacturers will no honor warranties if you don't get the one they sell with their mattress. I know that was the case with the Beautyrest I bought. Just a thought.Quote:

far from high end but the visitors i've put on it had good feedback.
Is that what you would sleep on if I was to visit?Quote:

FWIW, I ended up picking up a lightly "used-only-in-the-guest-room" Tuft & Needle on craigslist for cheap. I'm liking it.
Interesting read.Quote:

After spending way too much time researching mattresses, we bought a $200 foam topper to put on our new but too firm mattress and we couldn’t be happier.

I don't know if these things fell off a truck or what, but damned good deal I thought.
For those in the SLC area. Look up liquidation pros on Facebook. Really the only place you can find them. In a warehouse like space in sandy off 700w (8583 Allen st). They will haggle and cash talks. Good people far as I could tell. Told a few friends and let them know via Facebook and they said swing by for a free set of sheets. Social media for the win.

Update: a year and a half later I'm still thrilled with the Novaform Serafina that I bought from Costco for $700 delivered last year. Just got back from three weeks of travel and couldn't wait to get back to our bed, I sleep better there than anywhere else. My back troubles have also subsided, though I've been in a good stretching/strengthening routine so I can't attribute that totally to the mattress. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Update: guests have been raving about that https://www.tomorrowsleep.com/ hybrid mattress my parents got. In fact they're thinking of upgrading other beds in the house.
After reading that internet mattress article, it's amusing to read the big claim on the tomorrow sleep site.
Damn, just read that. I've been shopping for a few mattresses for a condo we just bought and now I'm getting bombarded by Purple, Leesa, Casper, Tuft and needle adds. It's crazy.Quote:

Anyone else have any experience with the mail order memory foam mattresses?
Bump. The wife is demanding a new (and bigger) bed. Moving on up to a king, I guess.
WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU START?
The websites are all obviously total bullshit but so are the review sites. Has anyone quasi-reputable like Consumer Reports reviewed these fucking things?
Biggest issue is we want as little movement transfer as possible but I also have no intention of paying $3000.
We got that same Novaform as Pegleg a few months ago. We love it, and it's highly rated by CR. If you don't like it, Costco return policy is second to none.
Still liking my Tuft and Needle. CR has it at about the same as the Novaform. Best way I can describe it is firm, yet still with that sink in foam feeling. It's definitely good in the movement transfer area.
I'm sure this has been said a million times, but this has got to be the worst place to skimp. We spent a fortune on a latex mattress, but 10+ years later, it's as good as new, still under warranty, and I still sleep like a baby. Also, once you go king, you'll wonder why you ever questioned it.Quote:

Really liking my Saatva after 3 years on it. Great price...think I paid like $1275 for a delivered queen, box spring, and old mattress removal. Well worth the $$$$. Sleeps way cooler than the gf's Tempurpedic too.Quote:

CR has reviews of some mattresses, including some of the new school ones like Casper and Saatva. You'll have to pay to subscribe but it's probably worth it for something like this. Another site that has a lot of info and doesn't seem too biased is sleeplikethedead.com.Quote:

Read a few pages, but didn't see an answer to my questions.
I need a new mattress, we are upgrading to king size. I am thinking one of the mail order ones: Casper, Purple, Tuft and Needle, etc.
We want something that is medium-firm (bad back) and sleeps cool.
Anyone have good recs?
