It’s so hard to pick something based on the feeling in the showroom alone, and while I’ve read a lot of the stuff on this site to help in selecting a mattress but I’m still so unsure. So far, I visited Craig’s Beds and Dixie Foam, and these are the ones I like best:
- Dreambed Deluxe Medium Firm (from Dixie Foam)
- Summerfield Fusion Heather Plush Firm Mattress (from Craig’s Beds)
- Serta iComfort Savant (from Craig’s Beds)
I’m a side sleeper primarily, 5’5, 120 pounds. I have a hip defect that causes pain when I sleep and sit (pain mainly in my hip flexors) so I was looking for something that would limit the pressure on my hip when I lay on my side. I hate normal memory foam as I tend to move around a lot in my sleep and I hate the way you sink so far down with normal memory foam that you have to pick yourself up and out of the “dent” to turn over.
Obviously I’d like to spend as little as possible but price is less of an issue. I’m looking to replace a 10 year old Spring Air with a plush pillow top which I really liked, but from what I read a normal spring mattress is the worst thing for people with hip problems of the types of mattresses out there. Lastly, I’m looking for a mattress that I can raise the head of the bed about six inches as I have reflux. While I’ve had the head of my bed raised on my spring mattress I feel it has caused a large deterioration in the mattress as perhaps it wasn’t made to move that way.
I don’t have my heart set on any of the mattresses I mentioned above so I’m open to suggestions. I’m intrigued by Brooklyn Bedding’s line but not sure what would work for me and am a little hesitant to buy a mattress I haven’t laid on, though their return policy is pretty good.
Any suggestions/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
