We tried out this mattress at a local furniture store (Star Furniture) and found it to be amazing. The store offers a 120 day trial with exchange but they only carry three brands - Aireloom, a Tempurpedic line and Kingsdown.
I’m not interested in Kingsdown or Tempurpedics, so if we end up needing an exchange we’d be stuck with Aireloom or a store credit for future furniture purchase - which is fine by us except for the fact that we may not be in TX forever.
So the practical question is whether we’ll find a replacement Aireloom if we don’t like this one after 3-4 months of trial.
I’m hoping that experts here might chime in on the possibility of finding suitable replacement within the Aireloom lines (we tried out both a firmer and plusher versions), and also general comments on this model (not M2 but M2+) that may helps us decide.
I have cervical arthritis that causes referred pain in neck and shoulders and struggle to fine tune the level of support in mattresses. Sometimes what seems plush and perfect turns out to be too plush, and sometimes what seems just firm enough turns out to be too firm. I realize matching of pillows is part of the trick here, but its nevertheless been a struggle finding the right mattress over the years -and I’m hoping that this is going be the mattress that turns out to be just right for me.
@TheCleanBedroom offers the Aireloom line of mattresses along with a nice selection of mattress that are excellent quality and perhaps better alternatives if the Aireloom should not work out.
Additionally, Dr Rick of @BackScience offers Aireloom at his Ultrabed store location. I know it is in the Southern California Area, but they are very accommodating and offer an extensive lineup of options should the Aireloom not meet your preferences.
I would be happy to offer you some advice based on my 25 years of experience as both a mattress designer and a Doctor of Chiropractic. Maverick was correct, in that we offer some solutions that go beyond most mattress store offerings.
The struggle of finding a mattress that is not too firm and not too soft—especially when dealing with cervical arthritis and referred neck and shoulder pain—is a dilemma we are very well acquainted with. You are also entirely correct that the pillow-mattress connection plays a massive role in this equation. The depth your shoulders are allowed to sink into the mattress directly dictates the height and contouring required from your pillow to keep your cervical spine in a neutral alignment.
As a top Aireloom dealer and a mattress manufacturer ourselves, we have extensive knowledge in navigating this exact trickiness. We understand the specific layer constructions and spring tensions of the Aireloom lines and how those components interact with sensitive joints.
To address your practical concern about being locked into a local store’s limited selection or worrying about moving out of Texas: we offer a 4-month (120-day) sleep trial with exchanges no matter where you are located in the continental U.S.A. Furthermore, because we carry a massive selection of top brands alongside our own Back Science and Tempflow models, as well as specific models that have that same traditional high quality innerspring coil and Eurotop type construction, so you would never be stuck with only a few alternatives if an Aireloom exchange doesn’t quite hit the mark.
I would be happy to personally consult with you to discuss the Aireloom models and how they may relate to your specific physical needs, and how to properly align your mattress and pillow setup. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at 800-667-1969, or you can view our lineup at www.Ultrabed.com.
