Macys Aireloom Vs other Macys mattresses

Mattress Talk
1

bought a king koil orchid firm from Macys and I find it way too firm. I am a side sleeper. I only get one exchange at Macys. The medium Jasmine of the same line is way too soft for us. We get one chance to exchange it.

We want to stay away from memory foam as much as possible due to being hot sleepers.

I loved the aireloom hotel collection Lux firm and the stern and foster medium. We put an exchange in for the aireloom and now after reading reviews here I’m afraid it’s not going to be a good mattress. Are there any other quality mattress sold by Macys that’s medium and will last ? I need recommendations on a medium or medium to firm mattress.

I tried the beauty rest black and disliked it a lot

Hi Ghubish105,

It looks like the mattresses you’re considering probably have edge foam encased coils, which isn’t my favorite feature. However, both the AireLoom and King Koil are well-built options. If you can find Shifman mattresses at Macy’s in your region, they might be an even better choice compared to the ones you’re looking at.

Keep in mind that these brands produce mattresses specifically for Macy’s (as well as Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus). While these store-exclusive models are still of good quality, they often don’t match the core lines of the brands. For example, Shifman’s regular models feature edge-to-edge coils rather than foam encasement. You might find this video helpful for understanding the differences.

Considering your price range and the types of mattresses you’re looking at, if you do not have a special affinity towards S&F or BR, I would suggest moving on by them. While some may be better than others, it seems the complaints are mainly based on the lack of luster the legacy S brands offer as compared to what they once were many decades ago. I’d suggest focusing on AireLoom, King Koil, or Shifman, with Shifman generally being the top choice for durability and construction.

Ultimately, the best mattress is the one that feels right to you. We can discuss all the technical aspects, but if a mattress isn’t comfortable for you, it won’t be the right fit, no matter how well it’s made.

When you’re reviewing options, pay attention to the types of complaints in customer reviews. High-end mattresses often use natural fibers like cotton, wool, horsehair, and cashmere, among other natural fibers, which may require additional maintenance. For instance, Shifman recommends rotating and flipping their mattresses monthly to ensure even wear, which can help the mattress last over 20 years.

Body impressions are common in natural fiber mattresses and don’t necessarily indicate a problem. Regular maintenance helps manage these impressions and ensures even wear.

While comfort is highly personal and subjective, starting with high-quality materials is a good way to ensure durability and longevity.

The rest will rely on your expectation and month or two trial that will really offer the best way to determine if the mattress will ultimately be the right fit.

I wish you luck on your choice.

Maverick.

I removed the duplicate topic, so anyone else who would like to chime in can do so here to avoid confusion

Hi Gheubish,

Would a topper help the king koil be more comfortable?

Are you able to try out the Macy’s mattresses i.e. are they near enough to you?
Taking a half an hour or so on the mattress may help you decide. Also, your partner can observe how your spine is aligned while you are on the mattress and vice versa.

All of your other questions were answered very ably by Maverick. It is important to note that the Aireloom produced for Macy’s is different than the core line.

Best of luck to you!
