Memory foam mattress recommendations?

[Jumpem]

Perhaps a generic one, not a Tempurpedic.

And what do I put under it? I have heard box springs are not rigid enough for them.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Just buy a good coil mattress

Baring that a good latex bed

What size and budget?

CostCo B&M and CostCo.com have different merchandise, if you have access to a local CostCo check them out.

Queen, and it seems like you can find them for $400-$500.

I got a 10" Serta with 2" of gel foam from sams for $599 about a year ago.

Very happy with it, although i feel that 5" of foam would feel exactly the same.

If you have access to a local CostCo and aren't in a hurry, these (currently dead) go on sale for $399 after coupon every 2-3 months.

I personally sleep on an all latex mattress.

If you pay anything over $600, you are getting ripped off.

From the thread linked above by RossMAN I found these:

There were also recommendations for the Serta iComfort. But those range from $1,100 to $2,800 locally.

We got one of these a couple years ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...2&tag=mt05d-20

Really fun opening it too, comes in a relatively small box and you cut it open and it expands.

Nothing under it except the bed frame itself.

Beds are VERY SUBJECTIVE. I recommend whatever you want you try out.

I have slept in bed others raved about (memory foam) and to me they didn't feel right and I felt hot.

I like a bed that is soft when laying down and you don't sink into when 'playing' in it.

I am up for a new mattress now and the market has changed a lot since I purchased it.

Also beds should be replaced about every 5-8 years max. 10 year, 20 year, etc warranties <> bed life in reality.

What bed do you have?

Sex in a memory foam is obnoxious.

What bed do you have?

A box and some newspaper. Why?

I'd be interested in anyone's experience with latex foam. We're in the market for a new king and the price is certainly right. Good reviews too.

I've been eyeballing the latex one on amazon for a while now. Might be my next mattress.

I've had one of the ultimate dreams latex foam for 9 months now. I am very happy with it and will probably order another the next time I need one. I ordered mine at a 4 firmness which has turned out well I think. The gf was concerned it would be too hard for her but we both like it. At $750 for cal king I think it was a great choice, and the company was great to work with. I ordered mine just a couple days before I was traveling outside the US so I asked them to hold the mattress until a ship date that would put it on my doorstep shortly after I returned home. They had no issues with that and it worked out perfectly.

Beware though - It comes rolled up in a vaguely human sized box (24" square by over six feet long). It was an absolute bitch to get up to my third floor bedroom by myself. Far better to have help than attempt it yourself.

I paid $250ish for one of the queen-size Costco mattresses about 2 years ago. Not sure which brand...I must say, it's a fine mattress.

Put nothing under it. Just a flat platform frame or just toss it onto the floor, if you're into that sort of thing. Box springs are one of the biggest scams out there. "Hey! I just convinced all these suckers to buy a hollow box of plywood! Muwaahahahaha!"

I've heard that the WalMart brand gets nice reviews, too. At one point, they would deliver for ~$200 total cost for a queen. I believe those had some kind of leafy oils that masked the typical foam chemical odor you get with the new mattresses.

Not all platform beds are equal. If you have a solid base you are good to go.

Most just have a few slats and that will mess up a bed.

For a bit more money make sure you get the ones that use ECC memory.
