I'm in the process of buying a new mattress and I just need some input on the ones really worth the money. What are they?

I have a Sleep Number with a leak in the bladder and no way to fix it. The pump is cheap plastic made in China. Any air mattress with a pad on top would be just as comfortable. Sleep Number is a severely over priced gimmick.

I bought a very expensive Denver Mattress double pillow top California King, it has been replaced 3 times. Each replacement was for a different kind of Denver Mattress bed, I am down to a Queen Drs. Choice which is going to be replaced because it failed. The only thing I can say good about Denver Mattress is the 15 year warranty, they just keep replacing the bed when it fails. I still have 7 years on my warranty.

We have a serta. I go to bed & wake up in the same position where I use to toss & turn all night due to back pain from AS & FM. It was around the 2 thousand dollar mark but we got it on sale for 1500.00.

we swear by Stearns and Foster. Bought one 20 years ago and just had to replace it this year. A little more money, but well worth it. These babies are built to last.

We recently purchased a TempurPedic bed. We'd surfed the net looking at them, we order the free video and sample of foam, we looked in the mattress stores at them, we asked around. We have not regretted purchasing this bed. I don't hurt when getting up in the mornings, with my back, like I had been for the last year with our old mattress. My husband doesn't snore as much as he did before with the old mattress, nor does he moan and groan in pain (had some vertabrae & cracked ribs a few years ago) when turning over in bed, as he did with the old bed. All in all we get a much better sleep. No regrets at all.

The best bed I've ever had and still own was recommended by my lil; bro who is a chiropractor. It's a Select Comfort. I.ve had it for 10 yrs and it's still like new, unlike conventional beds where the foam breaks down after a couple yrs. Disassembled you can move it in a car (no struggling with bulky mattresses) and you use regular sheet sets on it. I have lots of back and neck pain and fibromyalgia and this bed has been wonderful. It has dual controls , so your bed mate can adjust the firmness level also. I'd buy thi bed all over again, but next time I'd get a king size!

Denver matteress is the best. We had the very costly
simmons beauty rest firm and it was HORRID....
$2,500.00 we paid for it Simmons in about 1999 and kept it as they would NOT refund or exchange..
We love our Telluride/Denver mattress and it was
very well priced and so comfy. Go in and test away and check several places and get the one you feel
is best. Good luck.

I have the simmons Beautyrest, which I like. THis is my second one in ten years, because we lost the first one to smoke/water damage (and the movers broke the frame just before that). It is a firm mattress, but my DH has back problems and prefers the couch or floor! We have talked about trying the sleep number bed, but I think we'll have to win PCH sweepstakes first!

I really need to buy a new queen size mattress and box springs and have not done this in awhile. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best mattress to buy and where to buy? Thank you for any help!

Answers:

Sleep Number Bed

We finally bit the bullet and spent the money for a Sleep Number bed system, and with the benefits we are getting, we should have done it decades ago! The only thing that stopped us was the expense, which was about $2,300 buying it through the company's outlet system. We went into one of their stores to learn about the system and have them figure out what our "numbers" were initially, but it would have been so much more expensive buying it through the showroom. The advantages of this system to us are incredible - no more problems with pressure points, waking up dozens of times a night to try to get comfortable on our old mattresses, sore backs, etc. Because my husband now rests so much more comfortably, his snoring has even decreased and he isn't flopping all over the bed, which also woke me up. We knew we had made the right choice when we had to spend three nights in a high-quality motel but didn't sleep or rest well at all. All Radisson hotels now have Sleep Number beds and that's where we will be staying from now on. (05/17/2006)

Denver Mattress

We had a very pricey 2,500.00 Simmons and it was firm and the owner of the store was not a decent person so we kept it a few years but it never got better. This past month we got a Denver Mattress called Telluride and it is the best. It's like sleeping on a cloud and so restful, go in and really lay on them before you choose. We did this before picking. Good luck and sweet dreams. (05/17/2006)

Sleep Number Bed

We have a sleep number bed. My husband has had three back surgeries and is awaiting disc fusion now because his job was brutal on his back. With all the changes his body went through on a daily basis, it was great to have a bed that could adjust to his needs. (05/17/2006)

Sleep Comfort

I had a Sleep Comfort bed and never could get it comfortable. Total waste of money for me. I now sleep on one of those air mattresses you use for guests. It's the best sleeping I've found and considering they cost less than $50 for queen it's cheap to replace. They do have to have the air increased over time because they stretch out. Eventually they'll pop a seam if you just get the really cheap ones. The Eddie Bauer will last much better, but of course they cost more too. It's naturally hard to keep sheets on the air beds because of their light weight, but I quit using sheets long ago. I just use a good comforter (not the fluffy kind) with the decorative side down and another one on top with the decorative side up. I sleep between them. Perfect weight too. They are so soft and smooth and don't wrinkle up on you like sheets. I use those mattress connector things that are elastic and are made to keep sheets from untucking on both the top and bottom comforter (just the bottom corners of the top one) As cheap as these air beds are, you can afford to get one and try it out for yourself. If you don't happen to like it, just save it for company. Of course they may never leave. (05/25/2006)
