Mattresses – Considerations For Buyers
If you're not sleeping well and have decided to buy yourself a new mattress to help you be more comfortable, then there are a few issues you need to consider. Different companies will, of course, market their products differently, but it's worth bearing in mind that most of the manufacturers - that is, the people who make the products which are then sold on - rarely vary, meaning the most profound difference is down to the marketing. This means it's possible to get a great product without spending a fortune.

What Are Memory Foam Mattresses?
Have you ever heard of a memory foam mattress? Memory foam has actually been around since 1966 when it was invented by a team of NASA scientists, who were searching for ways to make aircraft cushions safer. Therefore a memory foam mattress is a mattress manufactured from this space age foam, although modern memory foam has been greatly improved since those early days. The problem with the early foam was that it was too brittle, so it crumbled within a few years.

Box spring Support (ikea bed frame)?
Hi,
I have a Sealy Posturepedic matress with a matching boxspring. I got it in August, but had them on the floor until 2 days ago when I finally got a frame for it. Until now I have had great sleep, but when I started sleeping on the mattress using the frame, I found my back hurting when I woke up the past 2 nights.
My new frame is from Ikea and I didn’t purchase the middle support that runs lengthwise from headboard to footboard or the wooden slats they sell when you are using their mattresses, as I was under the impression I did not require either of these since I have a box spring. My box spring is only supported on the left and right sides from headboard to footboard.
I’m wondering if my hurting back is caused by not having enough support in the middle of the boxspring? I noticed I sink down quite a bit on my mattress now, and I don’t think that happened when it was all on the floor. It may have..but I never noticed.
So basically…do you think that the frame is not giving enough support? Should I get that middle support? I’ve noticed on other frames there are middle supports but they go from side to side rather than top to bottom.
Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Which mattress? Stearns and Foster or Simmons? Thanks!?
Here’s the deal. I’m really active and I play tennis every day and golf alot, as well. I think the time has come for me to purchase a new mattress. I laid on 56 mattresses today (yes, I counted) and I narrowed my search to two.
One: Simmons World Class Plush Euro Pillowtop
Two: Stearns and Foster Plush Euro Pillowtop
The Stearns and Foster feels a little firmer and slightly less comfortable than the Simmons World Class. Right now I have a Sealy Posturepedic Plush (no pillowtop) which is about 5 years old. The Simmons is a little thicker, as well. However, Sealy makes Stearns and Foster and I’m happy with all the Sealys I have owned. I have never owned a Simmons and I don’t know much about them.
So if you have either, or even if it’s just the same make, let me know what you think about your mattress. They both MSRP for about 00-00, but they would do 9 on the Simmons and 9 on the Stearns and Foster.
THANKS IN ADVANCE AND SORRY IT’S SO LONG!

buying a mattress – help!?
Hello! After doing quite a bit of research, I know that every single retailer/store sells mattresses under different names. Now…I’ve narrowed it to 3 mattresses and I have a feeling they may be the same one, so I hope you can help with:
1. identifying if they are indeed the same mattress
2. estimating a good price for them and how low you think I can go. I know that the markup is huge and I want to make sure I don’t overpay.
All 3 mattresses are Simmons, Beautyrest, Classic in full size. The names are:
1. Macy’s : Sunflower Luxury firm. Retail price: 99 (on sale for 9) with free delivery and old bed removal
2. Sleepy’s: Hamlet Luxury Firm Retail price: 99 (got it down to (0) with delivery charge
3. 1800mattress: Bethea Luxury Firm: Retail price (was not given one but told me they could sell it for 9) with delivery charge.
Thank you for your input!

Should I get a pillowtop mattress?
For the past 15 years that I’ve been married, we’ve always had a mattress on the cheaper side since we couldn’t really afford the decent ones. The mattresses never seem to last and my back is usually hurting in the mornings. Funny thing is we have one of those overstuffed cushy couches. If I sleep there I don’t have back problems. I’m thinking I need a pillowtop mattress. I tried out a few mattresses the other day and the most comfy was a Super Pillowtop by Simmons Beautyrest. We have always had either a full or a queen – I also think we need to go one step bigger to King size. What kind of mattress do you sleep on? I honestly haven’t had a true decent night’s sleep much at all.
Cottonlilly: I’m so glad to hear someone else is having similar issues like myself. So that Queensize bed – the double pillowtop your MIL bought is the one your husband likes to sleep on? My husband is 5’10 and about 225lbs I’m only 5’3 but I don’t feel like we have enough room on the bed – he always asks me to scoot over (go figure he’s almost twice MY size! Lol). Anyway, I think we’ll splurge a tad and get the Kingsize.

How to buy a mattress…can it be more confusing?
So, we realized we need a new mattress. A serious "grown up" mattress, not some knock off for 0. I’ve heard of the major brands (Sealy, Simmons, Serta), but now that I’m trying to research them, it makes my head spin.
No two stores seem to carry the same models. Macy’s has a Simmons Beautyrest Classic "Felicia Ltd." while Sit n’ Sleep has the Simmons "Frasier River" model. Are they the same mattress underneath with a different style pillow top?
Anyone know of a decent site that reviews mattresses or have suggestion about how to tackle this? I know we have to try them out, I’d just like to educate myself first.
