Hi all,
Because of a move, I recently gave up my really old mattress of 20 years which was great, even after all that time it was still in good shape. The mattress was a Simmons Beautyrest First Impressions model with I believe individual pocketed coils and it didn’t have a pillow top.
I was thinking of getting something similar again, but when I looked online, I saw the mattress market has exploded in the last 20 years. It’s almost impossible to choose! I am a side sleeper. But I switch from one side to the other especially in the beginning when I am trying to fall asleep. I am 5’11, 180 lbs.
I’ve tried lying on the Tempurpedic memory foam mattresses and while that sinking filling was cool at first, I’m not sure it would be great over the long haul as I think I would get pretty hot with the lack of air flow. There were no hotness problems like this with the Simmons I used to have.
So maybe I should get something like the Simmons again - not sure if that model is still even around? Or maybe a latex mattress based on some of the tutorial I read on this site. Maybe a hybrid? I really have no idea!!!
Can someone make specific recommendations? I’m in Canada. I would say my budget is in the $1000 to $2000 range, but I could go higher if an ideal candidate shows up. I also want to buy an upholstered bed frame that goes along with it, so I imagine that could cost another $1000.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any contributions.
Edit: Dormez vous is a popular store in Canada that I can go to try any suggestions someone may have.
Edit2: For the next few months I will be sitting in the bed and working since I will have no other furniture yet.
