Is this a good mattress?

Sealy Posturepedic Reserve Firm with Visco Memory Foam Mattress

do all mattresses require a box spring?

i want a bed that is not for use with a box spring. My mattress is Sealy spring free posturepedic crocker grove ultra plush. It also has a latex core. I want to know if i should look for a different bed.
The bed I’m looking at is a platform bed and i do have a box spring. I’m wondering if I can use my mattress without a box spring?

Anyone know the Rooms to Go Gresham Mattress alternative names?

I know most mattress companies re name mattresses per company to prevent shopping around. Does anyone know what similar mattress names would be for the Simmons Beautyrest Gresham mattress from Rooms To Go might be called? Thanks!

Would a double sheet fit my mattress?

I have a Sealy posturepedic mattress measuring 135 (width) by 190 (length) by 29 (width) cm. I need to buy some sheets for it and am currently looking at Argos but I’m not sure if what they have will fit my mattress since I’ve already bought a double mattress protector from them and it barely wraps around the bottom edge of the mattress… I think mine must be a bit deeper than standard double mattresses because of the extra foam. So what kind of sheets should I buy? Flat or fitted? Double or maybe something bigger like king? If you don’t know the answer, would any of the sales assistant at an Argos store be able to help?
@Jenny: Thanks for the answer, but does anyone know a UK company or store that sells sheets for extra deep mattresses? I assume that is a US one since everything’s in dollars.

Which mattress should I choose?

I’m planning on buying a new mattress at Sit N Sleep because they are having a sale right now. I’ve narrowed it down to 2 mattresses. They both feel really good, but I’m curious as to how good a quality each one is. These are both queen size beds. Here’s the lowdown:

#1: Simmons Beauty rest Classic Plush/Firm was 9.99 now 9.99

#2: Sealy Seal Beach posturepedic Firm was 9.99 now 0.39

Why would one bed not be marked down as much as the other? Thank You!!

I need a very firm mattress for my injured back. Will it work to put firm mattress on a solid wood platform?

I injured my back more than 20 years ago and arthritis is developing in it causing more pain. Right now I sleep in a recliner because the Serta Posturepedic Set I purchased a few years ago gives me back pain every morning. I am planning on buying a good Sealy Mattress during a current close out sale and I wonder if it will be more firm if it’s not on a box spring.
I don’t want to change the total height of the surface I sleep on very far either and definitely not make it any taller. I have nice drawers under my mattress and box springs and it is the perfect height to stand beside the bed for sexual intercourse which is great for my back in that position.
I have other convenient furniture for other positions that won’t hurt my back also.

What are some ways to get rid of mattresses/box springs?

I have two Sealy Posturepedic queen size mattresses, box springs, and frames. The beds are 10 years old but in excellent condition. If I can’t sell them, which charitable organizations pick up beds? Or, do the trash collectors pick them up? I live in an apartment complex and was told I can’t put them near the dumpsters.

Anyone heard of Serta 'Simply Perfect' mattress (see description)?

I am trying to possibly purchase a used mattress off craigslist that this couple bought at the air force base store (so I’m guessing this particular brand is not available to the general public). Anyway they are telling me it is Serta ‘Simply Perfect’ NOT ‘Perfect Sleeper’. Also told me it is a posturepedic and a pillowtop. I have looked and looked and looked to find a pic of this bed/mattress (queen size by the way) for a pic on the internet, plus I want to read some reviews of this particular mattress on the internet. But I can’t find it? and FYI: They sent me a pic message over my cell phone and I seen with my own eyes this ‘Simply Perfect’ but just can’t find on the internet. So if anyone out there reading this has a site for me to look at, please let me know. Thanks

What are some of the better mattresses out there (besides Tempurpedic- love it, can't afford it!)?

Give me the pros & cons if you can, and do you know any great tempurpedic knockoffs that are just as good or even come close?

How long does it take to get used to a new mattress?

Hi,

My girlfriend and I just bought a new bed from Big Lots. Its a Serta Courtland Perfect Sleeper. She loves it but every morning I wake up with my shoulders aching because I sleep on my side. She says that with a few weeks time, I’ll get used to it and won’t ache anymore. Is this true?

Thanks
