All right well my mattress is just about done (dip in the middle and small back acke)) and good solid night sleeps are not happening often enough. After spending a weekend at my sister inlaws home I got a chance to sleep on a Sealy Posture Premier matress. Fist 2 nights it was an absolute dream to sleep on very deep and instant sleep (didn't want to get up and took naps during the day just to stay on it), then the very last night I tossed and turned a lot and woke up with a small back ache. I know the pillows we had were a bit to puffy for me and may have been the reason (neck angled high) but it didn't bother me the first 2 days. So I don't know if I should just pull the trigger and hope for the best. What are *YOU* sleeping on and how do *YOU* like it?? I need a Quenn size and looking to stay at most $800.
 
Just got a Queen set from Denver Mattress Co.
Doctors Choice Firm, I need extra support for my back, so far no complaints had now for 3 months. 749.00 - 40.00 to deliver = 789.00
Back ache no more!
 
Back when I was looking at apartments and furniture, I found (what I believe was a pretty nice matress), for $246. It was a full size from Morris, brand was Sealy.

It was just the mattress, not both parts.
 
we bought our set through shopnbc.com

great price, like 900 ... included setup and removal of the old (NO TAX either)

Some high end dealio model, I sleep really well, ie ... 11pm - 6am, 99% of the time!

Do you know what sealy it was?

Nope, I'm sure it was one of the bottom models. I don't care, it was cheap and comfy for my standards.
 
Do not let the salesman steer you toward the "Stearns & Foster" (high end Sealy I beleive). Others, as well as me, experienced sagging. When I tried to follow up with the warranty I was told that it had to sag "X" number of inches below the level to qualify as faulty (It was something crazy like 4"-6"). Anyway, a lot of money shot. Just telling you so hopefully you can avoid the trap.
 
i got away rom the inner sprint matresses

they wear, espcially the high end ones

i got a new bed here in the last month, went with latex it was a lil expensive $2k but it wont wear out, stay away from memory foam

my 2 cents

I need a good matress myself, and not willing to spend over $800 either.

I bought a Temperpedic queen size off of ebay, but I cannot recall the price. I believe it was about $1200, but it is without question the best mattress I ever had and I've had a few. My wife says she cannot feel me turn over or move around at night and I am no light weight.

By the way, I was talking with a trainer the other day about some back pain I had after about 12 hours of detailing one Saturday and he said that a large number, perhaps a majority, of back problems are due to tight hamstrings. I started doing some stretching exercises designed to get at the hamstrings and I have found a very significant decrease in my back pain.

I have a 3" memory foam topper I bought (sealy brand) and the best money I've spent. Also got some Egyptian cotton sheets (1,000 thread count). They cost a pretty penny, but oh soo soft. :)

I have an old Sealy, but it was a premium model 10 years ago.
 
We've also been using flannel sheets both summer and winter and they are a lot more comfortable than regular cotton sheets.
 
Visit a local mattress store and find the model you want. High end stores also carry mattresses like Macys and such. Then call 1-800-Mattress (you can leave the last s off) and they always beat the deal. Here locally they stock most items and delivery within the day. Beat Rooms To Go and we too have a pillow-top Sealy with 20 yr warranty.

yeh stretching is invaluable when detailing, i get miserable cleaning the cars soemtimes, almost sick, the only thing with alot of the inner springs is they evetually start to sag toward the middle and they are jsut one sided now.

i dot know if you have an orginal nmatress factory near you but they make the double sided matresses, i know i was shocked as to how expensive they were.

stretch stretch Im the MAN

Original Mattress Factory is good and much more reasonable than all the others. I had 3 of them and I thought they were the best until I got the Temperpedic a few years ago. If you are going to stick to the $800 range, I would go to Original Mattress Factory.
