Mattress shopping

[dmccarty]

Gracious. I can believe that thread was six years ago... Seem like just last year....

I HATE shopping for a mattress since you just don't know if it will work until you have bought it.

We considered the Select Comfort but seems like it was more money they we could spend. Then the Bone Crackers mentioned Dormia which we eventually bought. My back feels much better on the Dormia than the old mattress without a doubt.

We don't find that the foam mattress makes you hot.

I can sure understand that. Ours was more than double the cost of any mattress we had bought before. Our youngest daughter and her husband asked about the select comfort mattresses a couple of months ago and decided they were too expensive. So they thought they found a bargain on a name brand conventional mattress, and after 2 months, told my wife they were wishing they'd gone ahead with the select comfort.

Of course when I was younger, I could sleep just fine on the ground; didn't need a mattress. But no more.

I got one of those mattresses that the sheep sell. I bought it at Sams Club. After about a year I thought it was crummy and sunk a lot. Stopped by Sams and they would have refunded the whole price if I had sales slip. Couldn't find the slipo and they wouldn't make a copy. They claimed they would not be able to find sale unless I knew the exact time and day I bought it. Now, about 2 1/2 years later, every time I see those sheep I wonder if I should have lamb chops for dinner.

If the kids got the mattress at one of those big stores, maybe it's not too late for full refund?

Wireless was not an option when we bought ours. And we were lucky. The price of our full sized bed nearly doubled a year or so later. We would never have bought it and would not have realized that it was worth the money. At the time, we had a tiny spiral staircase. Bringing our conventional mattress up that was an extreme pain. Obviously, the select was very easy.

My brother bought a different style air mattress which has valves to let air in or out. It was quite expensive but he likes it.

And yes, i was quit surprised to find that the thermal foam was not hot to sleep on.
