Brooklyn Bedding Best Mattress Ever

[phoenix]

Hi FourAgreements,

Did BB recently move away from a multi-line, 10-level firmness offering, to a single-line (Best Mattress Ever), 3-level firmness offering? While I see evidence online of other mattresses and firmness levels attributed to BB, these all appear to me to be “legacy.” I don’t have a problem with this, but if BB’s website currently supports a mattress option other than Best Mattress Ever, I don’t see it.

Yes they did. You can see some comments about the switch and a link on the wayback machine to their previous lineup in post #1027 here.

I was curious to know if there are any people with my general profile who have purchased from BB recently. I’m a guy who knows where to put his pizza (5’11", 300–hey, I’m working on it). But, thankfully, I’m also a guy who knows how to steal his wife’s pizza (she’s less than half my weight). This weight disparity concerns me as I’m looking at mattress options where the sides aren’t “split” in firmness. I get the impression that the BME cannot be ordered in a split configuration. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who purchased a BME that either has a significant weight disparity with their partner, or who loves pizza as-much or almost-as-much as I do, if that’s explicit enough.

Hopefully any of the members here who are in the same general weight range or circumstances will see your post and share their comments but I would be very cautious about using other people’s experiences on a mattress (either positive or negative) as a reliable source of information or guidance about how suitable a mattress may be for you or the durability of a mattress and in many cases they can be more misleading than helpful because a mattress that would be a perfect choice for one person (even if they are in the same weight range) may be completely unsuitable for someone else either in terms of “comfort”, firmness, or PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) or in terms of durability (see post #13 here). Reviews about the knowledge or service at a particular store can certainly be helpful but when it comes to the specifics of a mattress they won’t provide you with the type of reliable information you will need to make an informed choice about how well you will sleep on a mattress, how long you will sleep well, or the “value” of a mattress purchase compared to all the other options that are available to you either in your area or online.

When you can’t test a mattress in person then the most reliable source of guidance is always a more detailed phone conversation with a knowledgeable and experienced retailer or manufacturer that has your best interests at heart who can help “talk you through” the specifics of their mattresses and the options they have available that may be the best “match” for you based on the information you provide them, any local testing you have done or mattresses you have slept on and liked that they are familiar with, and the “averages” of other customers that are similar to you. They will know more about “matching” their specific mattress designs or firmness options to different body types, sleeping positions, and preferences or even to other mattresses that they are familiar with than anyone else.

Finally, we will be relocating to Phoenix (the city, not the forum participant) at the end of the month, and it is for these new living arrangements that I’d be looking to purchase a mattress. Unfortunately, I have a very tight (48-hour) window in which I’d have to receive, or supply, a mattress at my new location (will be there for 48 hr, then gone for several weeks). As I’ll have a moving truck already, I wonder if it’s possible for me to physically get a BME mattress either at the warehouse, or somewhere in the metro Phoenix area, on a particular day. (I probably should direct this question to BB, but thought I’d ask in case anyone got a BME mattress this way.)

As you mentioned … I think a phone call to BB would probably be the best way to answer this.
