Mattress Advice
 

I'm looking at getting a new Queen Size mattress/foundation for our guest room. Has anybody here on the CP bought anything new lately? I bought a very nice set from Hawn Bedding out in Lee's Summit about 10 years ago. I kind of like the new latex or memory foam mattresses. Money isn't a big object here, although I don't want to pay an obscene amount over traditional mattresses. Any advice on something that will last a long time, be comfy, and best place to buy in KC area? Thanks in advance!

I have a middle/upper tier Serta, don't remember the name, but it's a taller pillowtop. Best money ever spent. They have built some brand loyalty with me.

just bought select comfort king size. had a select comfort queen size for 19 years before that. moved it to the guest bedroom. no problems w/the old one...the wife just got tired of me groping her all night long.

I wouldn't buy anything but Stearns and Foster...they are the best.

last time i checked memory foam mattresses were obscenely high priced.

sleep number bed.

aren't they also expensive as hell?

like 2,500 for a queen in their basic model?

Watch the Penn and Teller Bullshit episode "Sleep Inc" available on Netflix streaming.

The hysteria around high end mattresses is really bullshit. Just find a decent on that is reasonably comfortable and save yourself a thousand bucks.

Who gives a crap about quality, its for the guest room.

high priced is right, but if i get 20 years out of one i think it's worth it. i don't mind paying more for a good nights sleep.

i've also laid several miles of pipe on that old mattress.;)

Also, with the 'pillow top' or 'flip free' mattresses, they have woefully under-engineered the bottom half of the mattress. Basically, they tossed a nickel's worth of goodies to one side, then ignored the other.

Useful life of a flip free is like 1/3 of the old flip mattress.

I just bought a Select Comfort queen. Best sleep I've had in a while.

Now, that could be because it's replacing a 12 year old mattress, but I do like being able to adjust the mattress depening on how my back's feeling.

I have a select comfort and a tempurpedic (memory foam). Like them both ok, but wish the select comfort would hold air. Has to be pumped back up about every other day.

might be the compressor? you should be able to call their 800# and they'll send you a new one.

or, i guess you can spray a can of fix-a-flat in the mattress and shake the $hit out of it.

Get a waterbed, baby.
