Hi! I started looking for a mattress a couple of weeks ago and I like to research what I buy before I buy it. So I was a little pissed about the information that covered the topic but also didn’t cover the topic. I was absolutely lost until I found your site! I love the data but I am still overwhelmed by how many choices there are.
I moved from the KC area about six months ago to Farmington, NM 87402. I know nothing much about this area and what options I have available other than the big box stores and one small store I entered. I went to Ashley Furniture store and tried out a few mattresses and I really liked the Comforpedic in Firm. I don’t know what kind it was though – the tag wasn’t clearly marked. The saleslady said it had ‘pocket coils’ and I had no idea what she was talking about.
I tried out JCPenney and another big box store but they really didn’t have anything very comfortable or affordable. I then went to SleepnAire. I told them I wanted a memory foam mattress (now I’m not sure if that’s true) and they led me to the Southerland Atlantis gel mattress. I liked it a lot in the medium. But once I started researching it – there was hardly any reviews. But then I found one on this site! And it made me think that it was not such a good choice.
So now I ask: where should I be looking? I am willing to drive 50-60 miles to try out decent mattresses. But I also have been buying more and more things online since I moved out here. Any advice is welcome and I am grateful for it
