Thank you for your note! I checked the online reviews on the Costco Beautyrest mattress, and a couple of reviewers said that the mattress lost support after a couple of months in the spot where they slept the most. Others thought the mattress was fine for their needs.
I also checked the Beautyrest website, and the Costco model isn’t listed there at all. If it were, it would most likely be their lowest first-level, low-tier models. As you are probably aware, I’m pretty sure all three Beautyrest quality levels have mattresses that are box spring compatible.
One can buy an innerspring mattress w/box spring direct from the Beautyrest website, and have a White Glove delivery. The other alternative I have is to go to my nearest Mattress Firm to check them out, and not be pulled in by their sales tactics.
There’s also a Saatva showroom in DC which is not too far from me, so I might go there soon to actually see and lay on a couple of mattresses before I make a decision.
Saatva states on their website that if the box spring is more than 7 years old, it should be replaced. Is that a marketing ploy to sell more product, or is it valid? As I mentioned in my first post, I bought my current setup in the Spring of 2012; it’s been professionally moved once, in Summer 2022, from my old apartment a mile away, to where I live now. I’m pretty sure both the mattress and box spring were boxed up during my move. That said, the box spring is 13 years old. Do they break down the same way a mattress does?
My only recent comparison with mattresses is when I stay across from Nats Park overnight for baseball weekends at a Hilton property. Those mattresses are OK, but do not have a plush feel that I would prefer, if I could have that as well as good side/edge support.
Do you know more or less who makes hotel mattresses, particularly for mid-tier Hilton properties? That might help me a bit in my decision process.
Thank you again for your reply!
