| Our Englander latex mattress is only 2 years old but doesn't seem as comfortable any more. Your comments would be appreciated.

| My wife and I went out hunting for a mattress a week or so ago. Our aim was to find one as comfortable as one we slept on in the Gaylord Texan hotel in Grapevine TX. We found that it was a custom made posturepedic mattress from Sealy. Never found a Sealy that fit that bill. We ended up going with the new Tempur-pedic brand Rhapsody bed. The normal Tempur-pedics were too soft and made too much of a hole for you to role out of during the night. The Rhapsody has a higher density foam that seems to still be soft and supportive without the hole. Supposedly it sleeps cooler too. It should be delivered next week. |

| Platinum Dreams brand is great. Yu can only find them at a handful of stores in the midwest, but they will ship them to you throughout the midwest. The real problem with your mattress may not be the mattress itself. As your body ages you want a different feel. Also, matresses will become softer over time and that may make you feel less comfortable on them. When lookinf for a new one look at the warranty not just the brand. Also make sure that it is flippable. Many sales people will try to tell you that the mattresses are made so well now that you don't need to flip them. I would always ask them if that is true why did they lower the warranty on them when they made them one sided? If you have more specific questions let me know.

| Mattress buying is nothing like what it used to be. Quality is down, and prices are up. You'll find lots of information (and sympathy) at the message board at whatsthebest-mattress.com, linked below. Many of us have found the best solution lies in smaller, regional mattress manufacturers. |

| could it be the pillow top has compacted down? someone once said to never buy a pillow top but to buy a good mattress pad instead so you can just get a new mattress pad instead of a new bed every few years. |

| What do you think is the average life of a mattress That's kind of like asking the average height of a human. You'll get a number, but it's not very useful. You really would have to differentiate between coil mattresses and mattresses used with/without boxsprings, etc. |

| There are lots of things to compare including comfort, health and hazard criteria, maintenance and use and things like price. This tool below is very helpful. |

I LOVE the mattress I got a RestOnClouds.com last year. I got the 12", but since, one of my friends got the 10" from there and he loves that too! If you want a memory foam mattress, Rest On Clouds is a great place-plus they'll help u figure out which one is best for you over the phone! (I did have the wrong size pillow sent to me, but they fixed it right away, and gave me a discount for the inconvenience!)
OH-PS they're memory foam mattresses. i don't think I mentioned that. |

| After using the mattress for some years, most of us do not get the same pleasure which we used to. Its good to have a mattress pad/topper above the mattress and get the same feeling when the mattress was new. |

| Well, my husband and I feel as if we have a new lease on life: we recently purchased a Tempur-Pedic Celebrity bed and I am telling you, the quality of our lives has improved. I loved reading everyone's opinions (esp. d3nali as that reminded me of myself: I, too, wanted to replicate the comfort of a specific hotel [Flatirons Renaissance] mattress) and being consumed by the mattress forum alisande kindly shared. Thank you all for helping me (without knowing it!). That sent us in all sorts of directions (gelpac mattress / topper, for example) but what it ultimately came down to was when we walked into the store and actually lay down. We both knew instantly. And for us, it helped having our children with us (three years-old and fifteen months-old) so we could actually lie there in "real-world" conditions. We haggled and while we didn't get a price break on the mattress / foundation, we did get the frame, delivery, removal and Tempur-Pedic pillows (two) thrown in, plus we "split" the sales tax with the store (which I guess is a sort of price break). Don't forget to haggle! And happy sleeping to all. |

| Hmm, and only 2 yrs old...We're looking at buying an Englander mattress so I'm really curious as to what types of problems you're having with it. Does it have the laytex type pillowtop? Is it sagging now? Did you notice any outgasing smell when you first got it? TIA |

| jamison mattress is much better if you are looking for a mattress for yourself, go for Jamison mattress. It will last you for a long time, thus giving you value for your money. |

| My husband and I got an adjustable bed from RestOnClouds. It was over $1000 less then quotes I got from other companies, and it's great! The model we got did require assembly, but we are quite pleased. It's extremely quiet! You can't even hear it when it moves. We got it with the 8" memory foam mattress - which is the nicest mattress either of us have ever slept on. I highly recommend them. hope it helps. I was very confused when looking for one online! |

| I requested a Tempurpedic video a couple of years ago, and have been bombarded with ads ever since. Anyway, in both the ads and at two local furniture stores, two free pillows, free delivery, free setup, removal of old mattress set are all included in the price. Retail stores cannot discount any Tempurpedic mattresses; that is done only by the company. I am still undecided. I really liked the Sleep Number bed. Does anyone have one? |
RE: Mattress Suggestions?

| As others have suggested, I think that Memory Foam beds are by far the most comfortable. I've had mine for a few years now and it's great - though you do have to leave them to air for a while to get rid of the smell! |

| I also recommend the memory foam mattress, because i think molds best to the body. But then, the best type of mattress for you would really depend on your own preferences. Look for your own personal mattress criteria to see what's best for you - I think that would be helpful. You might be surprised at what fits your criteria, depending on support, durability, etc. |

| I guess I'm the only one left in the country that totally hates memory foam mattresses. I don't like the heat, the hole, the smell and the hard to move in part of it. But, to each his own. I can tell from the comments I'm in the minority...by far! I hope you have a wonderful sleeping experience on you Tempur-Pedic and it gives you the support and rest you need. |

| Not the only one! I don't like them either. Bedding Selection is a Black Art, indeed. Duane |

| Buying a mattress is, as many other posters have indicated, very difficult these days. This is, in part, I believe the result of an effort on the part of manufacturers. My understanding is that they will label different mattresses with different names depending on the retail outlet it is being sent to. A very difficult situation for the consumer. I was reading an article from a mattress review site called mattress advisor and the reviewer indicated a number of issues facing the consumer when it comes to comparison shopping for mattresses. Interesting to see a reviewer frustrated! What does that mean for the average consumer? The article is provided below for anyone interesed. |
