Hi!
I have been reading a lot about mattresses today, in hopes of finding some info about my options. Unfortunately, I have found very little about my specific choices.
I work at a Hilton property, and one of the super hidden perks is that I can buy their mattresses, bedding, etc. at basically the price they pay for it. Super, super cheap. Like, I am afraid to post prices in case I get in trouble kind of cheap.
I have options for their mattresses as well, all of which are name brand. What I found in my research is âAvoid Serta mattresses⌠unless you are looking at Waldorf ones.â
Well, I happen to be looking at Waldorf ones. Waldorf ones that I can buy at Walmart prices. But I have no clue what I am getting! Here are the exact names of the mattresses I can get. I canât find any info about them, but would appreciate any help. Even posting stuff like âif you can get it for x number of dollars or less, then it is worth it. Otherwise, donât botherâ would help me decide whether to buy one through the company. I understand about adding stuff on top, but I am unsure what firmness any of these even are. Like I said, I canât figure out which models they are! One of the most comfortable beds I ever had was a horrible Ikea mattress in a college apartment that I imagine they paid no more than $200 for. It was unbearable until I got a decent memory foam topper, stuck a down alternative thick fill topper on top of it, and a decently padded mattress topper. I spent more on addons then they did on the original mattress! And it was soooo comfy⌠though the springs finally gave way in the last year there, it was awesome for a few years!
Anyways, my options are:
Serta âPerfect Sleeperâ for Hilton Garden Inn (mattress and foundation)
Serta Waldorf Astoria II Plush Mattress and Foundation (same price as the Perfect Sleeper above, which concerns me a bitâŚ)
Serta âSuite Dreams IIâ Plush Mattress and Foundation (a bit less than the ones above)
And, finally, this one I did some research on, as I slept on it and was very impressed, but found scathing reviews. The reviews are old, and I wouldnât deal with the company in question⌠but it still concerns me. Also, the bad reviews are old, the company seems to have folded in, but this mattress is still available through this one place through my company⌠I have pretty much eliminated it based on reviews, but if there are reports that Hilton cleaned them up to get good stuff for their hotels, I am interested. Like I said, I was very happy with the one I slept on.
Hilton Garden Inn Sleep System, Mattress and Foundation (a bit more than the Waldorf and Perfect Sleeper. It is a type of air mattress based on the SAT bed, which seems to get a lot of negative reviews. I can get any model, including a King that is actually twos bed for individual adjustment, and seems like it would eliminate the problem of sagging in the middleâŚ)
I am not sure which other mattresses I have slept on. I most like slept on the Hilton Garden Inn regular one, but donât remember how I felt about it. I have stayed at various Hilton branded hotels, none of them Waldorfs, so I am unsure if I have tried that one. Every hotel seemed to have different mattresses, truly. Even when staying at the same brand. If could be age, it could be that the other brands choose whichever mattress they want from whatâs available, and it could be many already had stuff from the last owners, and kept what was in there. I never thought to check at the time, but will from now on.
Can anything better be found for fairly inexpensive (sub $1000 I guess isnât giving away too much info⌠:p)
Thanks for any info you might have about these options!
