I need a new mattress

Alrighty then, I'm sold - Saatva it is.

May be rolling over to the whine about your wife thread, however.

Fingers crossed.

I am the picky one, but when I saw the girls(Wife, daughter) just curl up into the mattress, I figured it was good.
Also, Zero smell, ZERO. I like that they set everything up for you too, nice touch.
The wife is supposed to be out of town tonight, but she is trying to cancel, so she can sleep it up :)

I honestly hate getting out of bed, it is so damn comfortable. Firm support, but still forgiving when you lie on it. I am a side sleeper and could not more highly recommend it.

Glad to hear, liv2ski! FYI, I’m just starting to learn about glycine as a sleep assist from Dantheman. I haven’t tried yet, but in case it’s helpful.

BP, or others, I will likely be selling my Saatva split king - two twin XLs - soon due to a relationship change. (They’re still very comfy). If anyone in the Front Range is interested, lmk. Less than 6 months use.

$2000 Saatva vs $550 Lucid both hybrid latex, very similar construction. What’s the benefit of going with the Saatva? Slightly higher quality latex (although the Saatva site doesn’t out and call it Talalay latex).

A Saatva is a real mattress, not a thick slab of foam. They’re basically the same as premium mattresses from Sealy, Simmons etc. They’re not folded up and compressed in a box. They have pocket coils, foam and cotton on top. I can’t tell the difference from a Beautyrest Black, in comfort or quality of construction.

The Lucid is a 12” (vs 13” Saatva) hybrid coil mattress with 2” latex layer (3” on Saatva) not an all-foam bed in a box.

In general I prefer a nice Indica before bedtime, but looks like you guys are getting good results from Sativa.

I would of paid more for 5" rather than 3" of latex, as I think that component is very important in the mattress. Only 2" seems pretty thin to me, but 3" works, so who knows. If your light, try it. I am heavy, so more is good. Look at Avocado also, as I think they look similar to the Saavta latex hybrid on paper for a few bucks less, last time I looked.

My daughter needs a "bed in a box" on short notice in Fredericton. What internet brands are available in Canada and have quick shipping? It needs to be inexpensive.

Go to Costco or look on Amazon

My bad, I just read on the website how it’s compressed and rolled up for delivery. Maybe it’s because Saatva is US made?
The higher price I mean

Hard for me to imagine spring coils compressed and rolled up for delivery, but I am no expert on this for surz

I finally received my mattress today that I ordered at the end of May. Hallelujah!
to be fair the mattress arrived in the shop 2 wks ago or so but we were still waiting on the box springs and I didn’t want to pay for 2 deliveries.
I can’t wait for my unadulterated star fishing!
One peculiar thing is that I picked up some new King sized sheets and I didn’t realize they came with King size pillow cases, which seem to be the double length of regular pillows. Is that typical?
….they were from TJMaxx though so maybe that was it

Don't ever change.

I haven't read this thread much. But for those of you mattress shopping, the wife and I tried them all. Purple, Saatva, etc., 5 different mattresses in a year and a half. It sucked but all the companies had easy return/refund policies and other than losing some sleep we got refunded 100%. Most of the mattresses were great right out of the box. It usually started to suck 3 to 4 months in, most were ready for the garbage by 6 months. We ended up with a pimp ass Stearns and Foster that I will sleep on the rest of my life.

perfect [emoji1787]

but yes, the king sets come with king size pillow sheets. Pretty annoying if you use regular size pillows. I have cut them and made them shorter. But not always

someone likes the new mattress
but it’s a bit higher than the old bed and he totally whiffed on his first attempt to jump up [emoji38]
Attachment 384330

thanks for the info about the king pillows too. kind of a bummer that all king sets some that way but I guess I have plenty of extra normal size cases

It took us a couple years to break down and buy a couple king sized pillows but it’s worth it.

I've had a Simmons Exceptionale Pillow Top for a while. Tried lots of others and nothing close for me. Similar to the S&F

So many people think. New bed is a magic pill that is going to cure all issues, that’s unrealistic. Beds aren’t perfect but new beds are pretty incredible at putting you in a better position to sleep better. I also see all the time people getting support and comfort mixed up. They are different things, get the bed that is most comfortable and keep your expectations in check.

the decision to get separate twin duvets when we got a king mattress was huge for us
(only downside is that you have to separately purchase the king matching pillow cases separately from the duvet covers)

Damn, I hope our Saavta doesn't break down as fast as you experienced. Our previous mattress was a Sterns & Foster that we had for about 17 years. I thought it was pretty good still until I slept on the new one. I should have got rid of it after 10 years.

So is there a quality medium-firm Full for under $700 that will last 5 years?

Try Englander

Any more Sleep Number reviews? I did a search and didn’t find much.

My back can last about 3-4 hours max on a surface before the pain starts. Usually I just switch to the couch around 3-4am because the it’s firmer (or I start on the couch and go to my bed at 3-4am)

Anyway, my thought with the Sleep Number is I could increase the firmness in the middle of the night instead of having to sleep on a different surface.

Anyone try this? Adjusting firmness in the middle of the night?

I gave a review a few posts up.
I was a sleep number guy for over 20yrs.
I am now on a Saatva air, with zero regrets
Try a better bed, and maybe you wont need to adjust
If you dont like it they charge 99.00 I think, and they will come and get it.
I kept my old sleep number in the same room for about a week, after that out it went, no turning back for me.
In all the reviews I read sleep number, didnt even show up in the top 10, which was weird I thought, because before the Saatva, I was pleased

You just said you had one for 20 years and just got a new mattress, wouldn’t call that a review.

We’re you able to adjust the firmness when you wanted? If adjusting firmness at night would it wake up your wife? Was it hot like memory foam or does it have some cooling elements that actually work? Does it go up and down like a hospital bed?

Hmm, what does an adjustable frame do?

For those mentioning Saatva, they have an adjustable bed that seems similar to Sleep Number.

I used to have a bad lower back and by using a small slim pillow between my knees when I sleep, that has totally gone away, so I'm not sure what your back pain is all about but you may want to try sleeping with a pillow between your knees.

Adjustable so you can raise your feet/knees/back. It may be the answer to your issues. Temperpedic makes one.

Ah, got it. Raising my legs definitely helps. I’ll research this too. Thanks

Anyone try an eight sleep water cooled bed yet? I'm intrigued.

Been on a queen saatva medium firm for 7 years. While it's been great for the 1100ish I paid for it, feels like it's lost some of its softness. I also find myself waking up hot on it now, but that's probably more me than the mattress.

And I wasn't trying to be cute. I use to be the hot sleeper in our bed, then ,,,wham .... my post-menopausal wife now routinely throws all the covers off the bed due to over-heating. I would very much like to hear about cooler mattresses.
