Thank goodness I found you, Mattress Underground! I recently moved to the Seattle area, and, sadly, on a day when I had had it with sleeping on my air mattress, I set out to buy a bed and mattress come hell or high water. I won’t go into the grim details, but after returning the first mattress (excruciating pain within days), I ended up spending more money on an upgrade and… you guessed it, no pain relief. The mattress is is a Restonic Comfort Care. The retailer is the devil incarnate, and they pull all the tricks in the book, and I am now stuck with a $750 piece of garbage (already sagging after less than 4 months’ usage), AND I need to buy another mattress or I will end up crippled if I continue to sleep on this one. Since I’ve already blown $750, I need a reliable budget-friendly mattress and have decided to go with memory foam. In addition to pouring over the information on your site (overwhelming and excellent!!!), I wondered if you had some recommendations of mattresses I should try out. Also, three affordable brands I’ve been seeing here are Easy-Rest, Emerald (The Moonlight 10"), and Enso.
Specs on the Emerald: Cooling Mesh along bottom perimeter 1" of Cooling Gel-infused visco memory foam (4lb.) 2" of Cooling, Open Cell visco memory foam with Air Flow Holes (3lb.) 2" of PU Foam for Comfort (1.875lb.) 5" of PU Foam for Support (2lb.) Great sleep with 15 year non-prorated warranty.
Specs on Easy-Rest: 1" Luxury cooling Gel Infused memory foam, 3" of ER5 5 lb. memory foam, 6 " of 2 lb. HD base foam. Luxury zip off, removable, washable cover. Firm support with soft contouring top layers.
I’m only looking at gel-infused MF mattresses. I’ve tested 12" and 10", and on the mattresses I tested, it seems like the 10" is better for me. I’m a back sleeper, 5’5" and 125 - 128 lbs.
Your insights and wisdom would be so appreciated. Hoping to end this nightmare soon :S
