I won't buy a pillow-top mattress anymore. I like to flip them, and you really can't with a pillow-top. Never even gave it a thought, until after I bought one.

I only buy Beautyrest mattresses; never had a problem.

Its hard to give a recommendation on a mattress because its such a personal thing. All I can say is try out as many as possible. Go to a store that will analyze the type of mattress you need.

SophiaMarie...I ordered this mattress in February. Very comfortable. Good price...pleased with this purchase. Easy to unroll and set up. Used my old boxspring...no problem. I would re-purchase.

Good luck!

Sleep Number with an adjustable base. Expensive but so worth it.

I can't say enough about our mattress. I would have never been one to order a mattress online, let alone believe something so inexpensive and from an unfamiliar name could be so comfortable. Because of my experience, I suggest you look at Wayfair for the Gramercy Hybrid 14-inch mattress by Classic Brands. Several years ago now (maybe 6 yrs.) we purchased an expensive mattress set by Stearns and Foster and we hated it from the start. We should have returned it but we didn't. Because we spent over $2,000 on the set we did our best to make it work by adding a topper. It helped but we still werent happy. About three years ago we'd had enough and started shopping the mattress stores. Then I did a lot of online research and reading of reviews. Ultimately I ended up ordering the Gramercy Hybrid 14" in a king size. I'm not lying when I tell you that DH and I say "aaahh, I love this bed" practically every night when we climb in. Keep in mind, this is a mattress only. It's intended to be used on a smart base or you can do the traditional setup by using your existing box spring. We are using a smart base and appreciate the storage space underneath. Since ordering ours, other family members now have the same one and love it as well. If you have any questions, let me know.

I agree @Toot1920 . After going to their store and finding out the sale was ending that day, we ordered ours from QVC with 6 EZ pays. The price was $1500 less than what it was at the store for the same model.

Love the adjustable frame and we got a split king, so each of us can control the head/feet to our comfort. Yes, they are pricey, but worth it to us.

I should mention that the mattress we have now, was bought online. It is a Simmons Beautyrest - non flip, non turn. It was close to $2,000 and when we got it, I noticed that the top portion (where the pillows go) was higher on one side than the other. I called them and they sent someone over to measure, take pictures, etc.....

After a few days, they called and said I was rigiht... The mattress was not perfect... So, they sent me another one. They said they didn't make the same model we had, so they were sending me an upgraded one.... It looked entirely different and my husband wasn't fond of it. They never took the first one back when they brought the new one, so now we had two brand new mattresses.

We put the first one back on the bed and called the Salvation Army to take the newer one away, telling the men that it was brand new, so they could do what they want with it.

At any rate, this mattress is giving him a backache, and I have a stiff neck... We think it's the mattress.

check with courts. they are a place that has used furniture that was used in model homes. they can't sell the furniture as new but it is not really used either. i bought a twin mattress with the box springs there for $99.00 for both. and it is flipable. it was a simmons beauty rest. they had had it cleaned and sanatized. it was wrapped in plastic. it had never been slept on and just been on display in a model home.

yhou can also check with matteress companies in your area to see ifany can make a flipable matteress

I have always preferred Stearns &Foster....much higher quality than any other brands imho....have never been interested in any of the “ sleep systems” advertised now...DH and I both like our mattresses to be “slab-like” in firmness.....have never had a problem with Stearns & Foster and have them upstairs in three bedrooms as well as in our master. Most people I know also like this brand. SIL has spent thousands on Tempurpedic, Sleep Number, and several others...still hasn’t found one he likes. Will he try our brand?Nooooo...🙄

My life changed forever when we got a Sleep number bed.

Love my Tempur-pedic. We've had one for over ten years. We got a split king with adjustable bases. I never adjust my side, but DH uses his sometimes.

After trying aonther kind of king bed at our lake house, we finally bought one for that house, too. We both sleep so much better. This time we chose a split king (for ease of moving it in and out of the house), but no adjustable bases.

NBC's TV show Consumer 101 (a Consumer Reports production) had one episode about choosing a mattress and...

"... with the help of a Consumer Reports expert, learns all about choosing the right mattress to help get a good night's sleep"

S1 E14: "Rest Assured"

https://www.nbc.com/consumer-101/video/rest-assured/3910565

Fast forward to about 11.5 minutes into that video to see the part about mattresses.

2 yrs ago, I needed a new mattress. I went to the local mattress shop where I had purchased 7 mattresses previously. I have a 4 bedroom house - and replaced each mattress after many years. I purchased a Queen-Size Simmons Beautyrest Silver, Luxury Firm - it's medium/firm. It stays cool and the mattress is around 10" deep -- and the boxspring was too deep. The salesman special-ordered a 5" boxspring so the height of the mattress now fits me - as I'm short.

I recommend you check out Yelp for local mattress stores near ur house (not furniture stores) and read all the reviews. You could check out a couple of them and tell the salesmen what ur looking for - also price-wise - and lay on each mattress for a little while (although it's difficult to tell).

My salesman said I need to sleep on the mattress for 30 days to see if I'm happy - and within the following 60 days, I could exchange it. Well - I love my mattress. See if they offer that option. It was free delivery and setup - and they removed my other mattress. It was around Memorial Day - and I got a good discount.

Another choice is to order from costco on-line. They have many mattresses - some with a boxspring and some without. The mattresses that sit on a platform don't require a boxspring - and I think it would be a lot easier to make the bed - and not need a bedskirt. Since u can't try out the mattresses, read all the reviews on costco's site --- and if ur not happy, Costco is great about picking up the mattress and replacing it.

Most of the mattress can't be flipped.

I want to thank everyone for their replies.

We finally settled on a Saatva. Did some more research and read lots of reviews and are happy with our purchase.

I can't wait for it to arrive and for them to remove the one we have now. I just hope the one we chose is the right "firmness"....... We chose the "luxury firm".....

Again - thanks to everyone....

My Saatva will be here any minute.

I hope they take my other mattress away.....
