Don't forget to ask for your "The Mattress Underground" forum member discount/bonus

Hi gpawned,

I didn’t see a place on their website to get the discount, so I will give T&N a call on Monday to order. That gives me time to ask one final question from the expert.

If you email or call them and let them know you are a member here they will apply the discount and the extended trial period that goes with your membership in the forum.

Originally we thought we’d go with latex since I need something firmer for my back and she does too for her stomach sleeping but I just don’t think we can afford some of these $1300-2500 options that I’ve looked at. I guess what I’m wondering is, are we selling ourselves short by going with such a cheap option like the T&N 10inch for only $600?

I don’t really know how to answer this because the choice of materials or components is really a matter of preference. If your preference is a polyfoam mattress or your budget range doesn’t allow for more premium materials or components then it would certainly be a good quality/value choice in this budget range. The polyfoam they use is about 2 lb density which is in the density range that I would suggest for higher weights (see the guidelines in post #4 here and post #2 here also has more information relative to higher weights). Polyfoam is a less costly material than an innerspring or latex support layer and it’s also less durable than latex in a comfort layer and of course latex is also a higher performance material so if you prefer the feel and performance of some of the more costly materials or components and they are inside your budget range (even in a comfort layer) then they would also be well worth considering. The only way to really know which materials you prefer would be based on your own personal testing or experience on different types of mattresses.

Of course their return policy also means that it’s a very low risk choice so you would have the chance to sleep on the mattress and see how you feel about it but only your own testing and/or experience can tell you whether a higher cost/quality mattress or materials would be a better match for you in terms of PPP or your personal value equation if it’s inside your budget range.
