Foam Mattress

Abrowneyegirl — Sat, 25 Mar 2017 16:01:03 GMT

Has anyone tried any of these bed in a box mattress that seem to be everywhere?

The trial periods seem to be generous 100 to 365, if you do not like they come and box it up and ship it back for free.

I learned about them recently at a party and a few people had tried them and raved, the one woman got rid of a $4000 mattress after trying one.

If I had realized that there was SO MANY to select from I would have taken better notes.

So far I think we narrowed it down to a Leesa or a Ghost.

Has anyone here tried? Any reviews?

We will NEVER buy anything else, and all of the ones we've ever bought have either been from QVC or COSTCO. I 'm not sure but I think both Costco and QVC are cheaper than the two you mentioned.

I bought mine from the Q several years ago. I'm still very happy with it. My queen-size mattress was around $600 and that was a special one-day price and, as I said, several years ago. PedicSolutions is the name of the brand.

We have one that we ordered from Amazon and we use it in the guest room., Everyone comments on how comfortable it is!

@Abrowneyegirl

i am in the same mattress research mode but in no hurry.

Consumer Reports Online has some good mattress information to consider.

They like *Serta Luxury Gel Infused Foam Memory Foam Mattress* Best Buy

Sells at SAMS CLUB, the Queen Size is $500. My current mattress is a Queen size.

Sam's Club SERTA also has an adjustable foundation bed base I am considering.

Recently stayed at a hotel in a KING bed and am thinking about moving on UP.

Keep Calm and Mattress On,

We love ours. We put the mattress on our old box spring and it is perfect. They do have to air out a couple days tho. They have that synthetic smell.

@meem120 The comment about them being hot is interesting.....because that was my first question, as I had heard they can be hot. People assured me that the newer ones that are aerated and have the better air flow are no hotter than a traditional mattress. ???!!!?????

@gacat123 We are in the same boat.......

As for the Serta you mentioned, I have been told that one tends to be on the warmer to hot side. But, since I tend to be cold......... I am concerned for my DH who is like a furnance.

About the warm factor of foam mattresses...it's been discussed in an earlier thread. I would post the link to it but I don't know how. Anyway, what I did to resolve the heat build-up was place a thick 100% wool blanket right on top of my mattress then cover the whole thing with a mattress protector. The wool blanket is a breathable, self-regulating temperature layer between you and the mattress. It limits the amount of heat transferred to the mattress, in short, resulting in a more comfortable surface. Maybe someone here who read that other thread could post a link to it. It was just about 2 or 3 weeks ago or so.

I found the thread..."Searching for cooling mattress protector"...just don't know how to post the link LOL!

@meem120 I've slept on a memory foam mattress without any special cooling feature for almost 10 years and have never been hot. I really don't understand the complaint about them being hot. It could be that you'd be hot on any mattress.

I love my memory foam, I have arthritis and it relieves the pressure on knees, hips even elbows, it also helps my back so I don't get up in pain every morning.

My next mattress will probably be a Casper. I certainly wouldn't pay the big$$$, they ask for the Tempurpedics when there are so many other great brands available much cheaper.

I live in Arizona so I know hot, I bought my memory foam mattress last August and it is not hot. I do have a cooling mattress pad on it. For the first time in years I can sleep on my side without hip pain. My old Serta was only about 7 years old and I would wake up in pain every morning. Sometime I would cry because I hurt so bad. I would not go back to an interspring mattress. I also checked out Temperpedic and Sleep Number but could not justify $7000 for a bed.

@Kachina624 Casper was on our short list of top 3 picks. However I have pressure points on my hips and both DH and I are side-sleepers so it looks like the Leesa for us.

I have wanted one for a few years but was so afraid to spend that kind of money in case it didn't work out. I finally ordered a Spa Sensations 12" Theratouch memory foam mattress with the 3" air cooled inner foam. I bought it early March at a price of $269 for a queen (it's higher priced now) and I absolutely love it! Best sleep (painless) I have had in years. I can lay in bed and lounge in the mornings now without pain.

There is a 3 month return policy. 4.5 star review with over 4700 reviews. Definitely worth checking out. It was delivered free right to my door!!
