QVC/HSN Mattresses

Msfitness — Sun, 03 Sep 2023 04:24:16 GMT

Hello everyone!

I am considering purchasing a mattress from QVC or HSN. I have never done this before, and am wondering if someone in the forum has done so. What was your experience with purchasing a mattress without trying it out first and would you do it again if you had to.

Good morning! I did a search of the forums and found many posts on this same topic. Maybe the responses will answer some of your questions!

Have you price shopped? A lot of places have big sales going on this weekend. I'll bet you could find a good mattress in your area that wouldn't be so difficult to return.

For me, I'd never buy a mattress without trying it out. I know what I like but it's difficult to trust blurbs online about how they would fit my body.

@Msfitness --I bought a bed in a bag about 8 years ago from a company in NYC--called Helix. This is when those type of things were very new. I got to actually have it custom made for me as that was their thing at that time. I answered a bunch of questions about how I sleep, the temperature I like the way I sleep and a few others---I got the mattress in about 2 weeks, was free shipping too and had 100 nights to decided if I liked it or not. Well--I LOVED it from the first night!! I ordered the full size and paid $750 for it. I still have it---It is still very comfy and not broken down. I don't need a foundation mattress --I turn it from side to side every 6 months--altho I don't need to. And they would have had a donation place come get it if I didn't like it and I wouldn't have to pay for anything. Was a great decision on my part.

Yes, I've purchased a mattress without trying it out. The Beautyrest we had was plush, but too firm for our taste. Plus, it was nine years old. I read up on softer mattresses and ordered one that is medium plush. My first choice was Saavata which has been discussed on these boards, but I without being able to try it, found something much cheaper.

@AuntG thank you so much for responding! I am looking for something soft too. Eight years ago, I purchased a medium firm from Macy's because I did not want anything too soft. They did not have a pillow top as I had prior. I have been uncomfortable, but not miserable on that mattress for 10 years because I did not want to pay them an additional $100 to pick it up with the allocated timeframe for returns. Also, to start all over again trying out mattresses and having to not have a mattress until I found another. I will look into the ones that you mentioned. I just don't feel like trying out mattresses in the stores because I get so confused.

No, I have not price shopped yet. The last time I tried so many mattresses at the stores, that I got so confused. I ended up getting one that was not right for me. I will call around tomorrow at the stores and then go out to sample the fit and see what happens. Thank you so much for your advice!

@fthunt I've heard about the non-traditional ones that you are talking about. I will look into those as well. Thank you so much for your input!!

@Msfitness --you are welcome--just remember, I got my mattress several years ago and the system they had then, may not be what they do now. I haven't been back to that wesite since, so not sure what they are offering now.

I bought a 10" thick Rimensy Queen Mattress from Amazon in July. It's a hybrid with pocketed coils and then gel-infused memory foam on top. It was listed as medium firm but is more plush than medium firm (at least to me.) I paid $206 for it at the time, and I've been perfectly satisfied with it. It's now showing as $189.99 on Amazon. It's got a 4.3 rating from 859 reviewers.

I prefer a plusher mattress and some reviews said it was too firm while others said too soft, so I had plans for a topper if it was too firm, but it's not. It's perfect for me and the price can't be beat. Will it last a hundred years? Probably not. But at that price point, if I can get a few years from it, I'll be happy. So far, so good.

@gardenman Thank you! I did not think about looking on Amazon. I am happy that things worked out for you!

@Msfitness

The big issue on Amazon is sorting through the hundreds of mattresses offered. One reviewer will insist the mattress is too firm, like a rock. The next review will say it's too soft and they sink right through it. You can go a little crazy sorting through the options.

Modern mattresses are pretty basic things. You have all springs, hybrids (springs with memory foam on top), or all foam. I like a memory foam mattress and one with the cooling gel infused, so I focused on the last two types and had like twenty options in my price range. The one I picked had the best overall reviews and was very affordable. I'm happy with it.

We're in a world now where you can buy the same basic mattress design and pay anywhere from $150-$5,000. And the reviews on all of them are more or less the same. Too soft, too firm, wore out quickly, got lumpy, regardless of the price you pay. I like mine just fine. I've been using it since early July and it's been great. Looks and feels brand new. They label it as medium firm, but it's more plush. It's great. Perfect for me. I can't imagine getting anything better for me at any price point. How long will it last? God only knows. But, so far, so good.
