Good Innnerspring Mattress with Minimal Foam

[phoenix]

Hi karenm5010,

Have you heard of a company in Hartford CT CALLED GOLD BOND MATTRESS COMPANY. ?

You can see my thoughts about Gold Bond in post #4 here and the posts it links to.

Recently my hubby and I slept in a holiday inn and it was the first time in 2 years that we didn’t have horrible side pain, leg pain, numbness in arms and shoulders . I looked up on the Internet an it said Serta hotel line is used there. When I called the hotel itself they Said that they buy them from a commercial place and had no info for me. All I know is it was a 2 sided mattress.

You can see my thoughts about hotel mattresses in post #3 here. If you can’t find out the type and quality of the material inside them (which is normally the case with hotel mattresses) then I would avoid them completely.

I would keep in mind that the name of the manufacturer on the label or the brand name of a mattress is mostly meaningless because outside of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) a mattress is only as good as its construction and the quality of the materials inside it … regardless of the name of the manufacturer of the mattress on the label (see post #5 here and post #12 here). There is also more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress in post #13 here that can help you make more meaningful comparisons between mattresses.

I called CT MATTRESS the former owner of Better Bedding in CT. Tom WHOLLEY. He has his own mattress company where they sell several of the popular brands and this Gold Bond company since 1938 in Ct. I live in Ct. I called an I can meet with owner and make an appointment to see mattress’. He said he had a few gold bond 2 sided on the floor to try. Plush and firm (royal ??)

As you can see in the guidelines here … I would make sure that you have all the information you need about any mattress you are considering so you can make informed choices and identify any possible weak links in a mattress … regardless of the brand name on the label (see this article). There is also more about the pros and cons of a two sided mattress in post #3 here.

Just in case you haven’t already … I would also read the mattress shopping tutorial here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines you will need to make the best possible choices … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.

Once you get to step 3 in the tutorial … the better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the larger Connecticut area (subject to the “value” guidelines I linked earlier) are listed in post #2 here which also includes links to a list for the Springfield, MA area and one for the Coventry/Hartford, CT area as well.
