Ottakee Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 My ds needs a new mattress and box spring. He wants one of the memory foam types vs. a traditional mattress. he is 5'5" tall and 160 pounds and not going to grow anymore. He has bedding and a frame for a full size so that is what he wants. Tuft and Needle are $495 but I saw other options on Amazon with just as high ratings for 1/2 the cost. I can afford the higher priced Tuft and Needle if it really is worth the added cost but if it is about the same quality, just generic vs. name brand type thing, then saving money would be good. He has no health issues, back problems, sleep issues, etc. What do you have and love.....or what did you buy and wish you hadn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 We got a Tuft & Needle and found it both way too hard and way too hot. The firmness is especially important if you are a side sleeper as it will cause painful pressure points. The Tuft & Needle Mint is supposed to be softer but it costs even more money and I am not sure how it does on the hotness scale. You can do searches for best bed-in-a-box mattresses on youtube and even specify things like side sleeper or hot sleeper or a few other things. My dd has bought a few other mattresses off Amazon for her guests' rooms and both her and the guests have been happy with them. I am currently looking at the Layla mattress.

Annie G Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I recently bought a Nectar mattress and it has a 365 day trial period. So far I like it, but the true test will be whether dh and I can sleep together on it. (It’s at the new house and he won’t be there until after Christmas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks for the input. I had a Comfortpedic mattress that I hated. It was like new but a hand me down from my daughter. I ended up going with a traditional mattress from a local furniture store and LOVE it. It was pricey but sleep is so important. My brother and his wife and all 3 kids have Tuft and Needle beds and love them. My brother is a very large guy and says it is so comfortable. I hate spending big money on something not knowing how well it will be liked in a few months. I do see some of them have some pretty good trials.

Moonhawk Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 MIL has a Tuft & Needle I think. she's determined to like it but she keeps saying things about changing her bed size and I think it's partially just to get a new mattress. We have used Ikea mattresses, DH and I, I guess, are easy to please. Their cheapest mattress we slept on for 3 years and I was sad to lose it to the move. We are now on a more expensive Ikea mattress and like it, perhaps not quite as much as the first, lol. I will admit to be a sucker for advertising, and the next time we get a mattress we'll get a Purple mattress. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyandtheBrains. Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 We like our Zinus mattresses. We bought them off amazon. They have a few styles to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Thanks for the input. I prefer a traditional mattress so I keep wondering if I should get him on like mine. My respite provider even contacted me as a weekend here with the kids to ask me the brand/model of mattress as she said she slept the best ever on it.

Carol in Cal. Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Simmons brand, from their Hotel Bed program. You tell them where you stayed that you liked the mattress at, and they make one for you to order. It is purported to last longer than typical residential use mattresses because of the hard use requirements at a hotel. Most comfortable mattresses I have ever owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once slept on the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on, at a hotel, and have looked for several years now at mattress stores for it. That particular model doesn't seem to exist. I think it was a Simmons! I wrote it all down somewhere... I'm going to try and find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We called the place we stayed and asked where they got their mattresses, and they gave us this 800 number and the rest was history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 So... this is kind of creepy. Right after I posted about our mattress on this thread, my Facebook site became filled with various mattress ads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factory arranged shipping and set up. We just had to be here to meet them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 We have a T and N Mint. I like it, haven’t found it to feel hot. We have outgassing concerns and it was the most affordable we could find that fit our needs for low/no outgassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
