Mattresses

[MirORich]

Ok gang, the riveting discussion everyone has been clamoring for, or me just trying to crowdsource some help buying a new mattress.

As nasty as it sounds, maybe some of you relate to not buying your own brand new mattress until way into your 30's(or beyond). Inherited ones, hand. me downs, ones that come with the girlfriend, ones that came with the apartment. In any event, the one I inherited from a relationship ten years ago needs to be replaced.

There are way too many mattress choices. Price wise, I'm in the $500-$2,000 range. Sweet spot being in the $800-$1200 range. Would go higher or lower for that right combination of quality and value. Looking mostly at memory foam and hybrids. Any recommendations, advice, or horror stories? Brands I've looked at so far include Leesa, Saatva, Nectar, NovaForm, Purple and a ton of others(so I guess mostly the mattress in a box companies so far)

Appreciate any thoughts and discussing on this.

No idea wtf those number are you posted. I have a king size Nectar mattress and love it, although I wish I had given Original Mattress Factory a try first. I preferred foam mattresses overall prior due to portability, but no king sized mattress is easily portable. Also really liked the Purple mattress, my brother has one in his guest room, would also recommend that. Just go flop on some mattresses now that it's legal to again and see what you like.

We have a Stearns & Foster bought about 8 years ago, and are in the market as well. Any opinions on Tempur-Pedic, or just overpriced junk to pay for their expensive mall stores?

We got a king-size latex mattress about seven years ago and love it.

I'm on my third in my life. Every one of them has been great, and every single person who's spent the night in them from the time I was 17 until now had said it's the most comfortable bed they've ever slept on.

My first marriage (16 years long) we had a waterbed. It failed while I was on a business trip.

Wait, which failed?

Or both simultaneously?

Ho boy

I have back issues and had no idea what to do for a mattress. Completely debilitating, wake up in immense pain at 3am like clockwork. My firm mattress didn't work, soft mattress didn't work, hell the couch was the best thing but eventually that didn't work either.

So I made my own. Adjustable base from Amazon for like 5 hundo, springs from Arizona Mattress company and various layers of foam from Amazon that I plugged and played until I found something that worked. Ended up wasting like 300 on foam but I ended up with probably like a 3k setup for under 1500 when you consider quality of materials

I already apologized to your first wife about the bed, but sorry about that.

Haven't slept on the purple, but I have an ass cushion version for my work chair and it is really great. Chair sucks

I have a beauty rest black which was intially great but we are at 5 years and has a mild center dip (Which is not from anything going on that I am party to... :0) It cannot be flipped either.

My youngest son has a purple and swears by it. He is very active on it, and has had it four years?

We also have an Ikea Bed Frame with the arched slats and a Haugsver firm matress in one of the guest rooms, which I like a lot. It gets little use but is very comfortable.

Nectar has also been great for me.

absolutely love our Novaform Serafina Pearl Gel Memory Foam Mattress from costco. A king was like 700 dollars (sale going on right now). Ours is now 5 years old and still going very strong.

Is about a 90% version of Tempur Pedic

Highly highly recommend, especially for the price.

edit: Also i cant stress this enough, go to a mattress store and just lay on a couple of them. You dont realize the different in mattresses until you lay on one you hate.
