What kind of mattress do you own?
 

I have to go buy a new mattress...

Hard, soft, firm, ??? I need a hard one..i tested out 15 different beds today..Sealy, Serta, posturpedic...there are so many!!!

I can't make a decision......HELP!:helpme

Custom made California King. It's about medium I guess. Has posturpedic pads sewn into both sides. It's like 16 inches thick from top to bottom. Waste of money for me. I'm an insomniac lol.

Do yourself a favor and don't be afraid to spend money on a good mattress. You will be surprised of the difference a few thousand bucks can make on your life.

surprize there are not replies yet with.. you need to test out some more.. come try out mine.

definitely one of the best decisions i've ever made... not cheap, but these mattresses are amazing! nothing like that tempurpedic crap i used to have

I have an incredibly firm Sealy. It's like sleeping on a slightly-cushy brick. Oddly, that's the way I like it; if it's too comfortable, I feel like I got the shit beat out of me over the evening.

I have something, dont even know.

I had it custom made, xtra hard as I have a bad back.

I sleep on my bumper pool table

I have a Temperpedic....and they suck, they hold in body heat and are just terrible
get the Westin Heavenly Beds....they sell them at Nordstroms

I have memory foam. I went to Foamite (http://www.foamite.com/). They're in Vaughn, but they have a showroom on Danforth. They are one of the largest foam importers in Canada (over 40 types to choose from) and will custom make anything you want. Compared to a Tempurpedic, mine is double the quality and 30% less money.

I love the memory foam, but some people don't. It does get a little warm in the summer, but not so much that I mind it. It would probably suck in the South. You might also want to consider Latex foam. Latex makes for an awesome mattress too. They are extremely comfortable.

When choosing firmness with a foam bed (especially memory foam), you need to select it based on your body weight. You want it to properly relieve pressure as equally as possible.

I would take foam over any spring mattress any day. Spring mattresses just don't make any logical sense at all.

I have a Sealy Posturepedic, firm springs, with a double pillowtop.

Extra EXTRA firm (foam) futon mattress for me!

None of that box-spring & matching mattress stuff for me. I have yet to find one that is truly firm, let alone extra firm!

I need a new bed too. I'd consider a sleepnumber type to accomodate different firmness needs.

Sucks to hear those tempurpedics hold in heat.. they're off the list.

What ever the short-time rooms and shady overnight hotels have to offer ;) :)

i layed on a sealy posturpedic once... My friend spent a couple grande on it and a nice oak frame - fuck the oak - but that bed was heaven - firm yet soft - truly one that you can jump up and down on - without bounce - and the person laying beside your jumping wont even feel it - unless theres a blanket on the bed too

Truly heaven!

I know what you are going through, I had the same issue a few months ago.

If you are looking for a hard one like me, take a look at Simmons Beauty Rest "Oakville" (I found it at Sleep Country). It has independent coil system, doesn't disturb your bed mate, thin pillow top for cozy cushion because the mattress is really firm.

It is the best mattress I ever owned and I had changed 4 mattresses in an 18 month period until I got this one and couldn't be happier.

I always wonder about the sleep number beds...I didn't test one of those out yet...

my friend has a tempurpedic and it's heaven but yeah that whole heat thing sucks..I sweat like a mofo at night...:Oh crap

I'm NOT doing spring! thanks for the advice!

My girl used to work for Serta so she's kinda helping me but you really don't know unless you've slept in one!!:mad:

We have a Sleep Number and I will never go without one. We upgraded from one of the original Select Comfort beds about a year or so ago. There isn't a big difference, aside from the bigger size we got.

The Radisson Hotel chain has them in some of their rooms, if you want to spend the night on one. They also give you a pretty long time to test them in home if you want to do that too.

Quoted for the obvious!

I was waiting for the first wiseass to come in here and say somethign! SHARKY!!! lol

I need it HARD!

Thats very true

Do yourself a favor and go check out the Sleep Number, you can change it up when you want.

They've got a varied selection, so they're not always as pricey as people think.

If you're not doing spring, seriously consider latex foam. They are expensive but damn comfy.

i would like to buy hard. may be you can read about advantage of its and about advantage to the health of them

I have a firm Sealy it's only about a year old and I'm happy with it. I noticed that mattresses go by different model names in different stores so it's hard to keep track of what you've tried.

actually...I did sleep pretty well when I came for my visit...hmm I'm gonna go back to the store and check it out..

and YES! They change up the names of the mattresses for each mattress chain so that they feel special..wtf? White labelled mattresses?? lmao!

Did u know that mattresses are the #1 marked up products??

I had firm and soft mattress. Iim using it in our office especially when our team need to meet deadlines. Im very much comfortable with it. :sleep

Yeah each store carries the same mattress with a different name. I think they don't want you to be able to shop around.

We went to Sleepy's. Spent an hour or so laying on different beds. When we finally found the one we wanted it was a no brainer. It just...fit. Everyone is different so brand doesn't matter. Put on your jammies and hit the stores. Look at the price tag AFTER you decide which one you like best.

Ours cost a pretty penny but was well worth it. I figure, people will spend 20-30k on a car without blinking. How much time do you spend in a car? Now, how much time do you spend in your bed? 2-5k on a decent bed is just a wise investment.

My back problems are gone, my shoulders don't ache, I have more energy when I wake. Best money I ever spent. Honestly.

:jerkoff

Find a place that sells these:

AMAZING.

I have a hard one.:winkwink:

i bet you do!! lol!


So I'm going back to the store now...I should take pictures ahaha the sales guy must think I'm nuts!

I always get my matrasses for free here on the island.
Cant say to much about it though. Its a hush hush thing....

I've had a latex foam mattress going on 10 years now. Still the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on. Hell it came with a 30 year warranty. I also have a pillow made out of the stuff. Got it at the same time. And my large mellon hasn't destroyed it yet.

and how do you go about getting mattresses for free??

I get a family and friends discount but FREE??? :upsidedow

I spent 2000 on the cal-king Hainsworth
best thing i have bought in years. Id pay up to 5000 for a mattress if i could find a better one, a good nights sleep is worth a lot to me.

I second that one

it can't be that hush hush if you're talking about it? ;)

yes I'm an insomniac and a really light sleeper so I need a good hard mattress!:thumbsup

I'd love to make a recommendation.. but I'd have to do some research on what you're currently sleeping on to really understand your needs :)

I bought a new mattress a few months ago and am LOVING it. The previous one I had was way too soft and got dents and dips right away. :( My new one is a Serta one... not sure the name. But if you go to Sleep Country, they have a list of the beds that the hotels like Westin and Mariott use. My bed is the one they use the most. :) Woot woot!

well coming from Niagara, I am used to sleeping on HAY!!! lmao

I can come over and try YOURS out but I might get stabbed!:winkwink:

I had a Serta Muskoka...was the hardest thing they made but I'd wake up w a sore shoulder...so that means it was too hard..

RIGHT NOW, I'm on a couch :( in the middle of condos..I'm moving on Tuesday so I need a bed STAT!
:helpme

you know the reason they are in all the hotels is bc of my friend?? she's the national rep that sells them all lol:thumbsup

I'm going there with a friend tonight to test out some more lol I needa nap anyway!

Well when you decide on a mattress.. let everyone know. I have a similar issue, need a hard matress but totally screw up my left shoulder and arm when sleeping on my side

Only hard, believe me

sorry, this is all i saw gurl bcuz i need one too LOL. but seriously, i have a double pillowtop medium mattress and i love it. my daughter's is the same but softer and it is a little too soft. firmer is better for your back :2 cents:
