Re: OOT Sleep Experts: What kind of mattress do you have?
I slept on crappy mattresses for years and last christmas bought a bed for ~1500 all in. If necessary I would pay >10k for it. it's the best purchase you can ever make. don't skimp.

[/ QUOTE ] This entirely depends on the mattress quality, how much time you spend on the mattress, etc. But, a good rule of thumb is that most mattresses are supposed to last for roughly 10 years (which is why many mattresses have a 10 year warranty). After that, you may see a decrease in support, shape, and overall comfort. Once again, if you treat your mattress well, it can last longer. For instance, my parents had their for 20 years before they decided to get a new one. |

Thanks Mat. jba, What bed did you buy? [/ QUOTE ] honestly it's slipping my mind. it was either a serta or simmons but it was a jordan's furniture model, whatever that means. one thing I would recommend is calling 1800MATTRES. every store has a different name for brands/models so it is pretty much impossible to comparison shop, but 1800MATTRES has all of that stuff cross referenced and they'll tell you that model A at store 1 is the same as model Z at store 2. my conversation with them was this: me: hey I'm at Jordans, here's the model I'm looking at them: ok, that's a model that serta|simmons only makes for Jordans. the most similar thing we have to that is ABC and XYZ, the difference is blah blah blah, they are $1535 and $1475. me: really? this one is $1300 at jordans. them: wow really? that's a super good price. you should take it. |

Re: OOT Sleep Experts: What kind of mattress do you have?
the intellibed stores have the sleep number beds and tempurpedics so you can try them all side by side.
there's no question that for some people, tempurpedics are better. one of the things i don't like is they kind of "lock" you in. |
