I’ve spent a few hours in different mattress retailers, trying to find out what type of mattress I want to get. I’m looking to buy one that feels similar to one of the luxury hotels I occasionally sleep in (I travel a lot for work). One of my favorite hotel chains is the St. Regis - I always sleep great in their hotels, so I took that as a sort of basis of my purchase. I found out they actually sell their mattresses, but since there’s no real reviews out there and I can’t be 100% sure they actually use that bed in every single St. Regis hotel I’ve been in - I looked into what brand they used. Turns out it’s Simmons Beautyrest.
So I went to the stores and tried out the Beautyrest Black Natasha and in another store I tried out the Katarina Luxury Firm Top. Both of these felt AMAZINGLY comfortable to me. Out of all the hours I was in these stores - they were absolutely my favorites, and I did feel they were more supportive / comfortable then the lower priced Beautyrest products.
I was pretty set on it (even after reading online reviews) until I stumbled upon this website. Now, after reading some of the information here, I am COMPLETELY overwhelmed and unsure about my purchase. There is so much information on here that I don’t know where to start… I really don’t have the time to research every single statistic and do all this research, I just want a really high quality bed investment. One of the major tips that I saw everywhere is to test out the mattress and spend time on it in multiple sleeping positions. That is what I did. And the Beautyrest Black Natasha Plush Pillowtop was my favorite, followed by the Katarina Luxury Firm Pillowtop. But now I have doubts…
My maximum price is about $3500. I don’t have a problem spending a few grand if it delivers me an amazing night of sleep every single day for the next 8 - 10 years. By that time I’m probably going to buy a new one anyway.
I’m looking for a king bed to give me that 5-star ultra luxury sleeping experience every night for the next 8-10 years, where I wake up feeling great and without any fatigue / pains in my back. I want that ‘floating on clouds’ feeling that I got from the Beautyrest Black Natasha. I don’t care about the price so much - I just want a great lasting investment. So my question is this. Which bed can I buy that feels very similar (luxorious) to the Natasha but has more durable materials? I would love if there were simple pointers to companies / mattresses that I can compare these with.
Finally, how long would a Beautyrest Black usually last? I would be upset if it lasted less than 4 years, but if it lasts 8 years, I wouldn’t even mind it that much. But I really have no reference point right now.
All help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: for the record, I will purchase the mattress in the greater Nashville area. I’m 6’2 and I weigh about 175 lbs.
