Hi Hyacinthos,
Glad you found my post helpful. Yes, Online retailers have the ability to take the order online and to ship their products to consumers as opposed to a physical ‘buy and take’ only type of showroom. Since it sounds like you are moving to a different area, you might want to consider the proximity of your new apartment to a retail “brick and mortar” shop, since it may be closer to your new destination, you can test it and the shipping will likely be less. Keep in mind that even though online retail companies are advertising products as “free shipping” in fact most of the shipping or part of it is actually included in the final price of the mattress, and many times at the expense of component quality. Many of our Trusted Members have offerings in the approximate range you give of $1000 depending on what you are looking for. but you did not narrow your choices and preferences down enough for me to be able to look through their offerings and point out a few that may meet your criteria.
As you mention the $1000m price point I am guessing you are looking at the Midnight Luxe. They don’t list the layer thickness and density but even if it would meet the durability guidelines, again this is a memory foam mattress and as I pointed out before it will “sleep hot” Phoenix has a super detailed post here about the various factors at play in mattress microclimate s that may prove useful to you in some way. In terms of durability memory foam (or gel memory foam): If your mattress is one-sided then I would make sure that any memory foam is at least 5 lb per cubic foot. If the mattress is two sided then I would use a minimum density of 4 lbs per cubic foot. In terms of suitability, they use a questionnaire with their customers that takes information such as BMI, body measurements, and sleeping positions into account and use an algorithm to choose both the order and the firmness of each of the comfort layers that are most suitable for each of their customers. The 3 comfort layers are on top of 4" of 1.8 lb polyfoam with two different firmness levels. I
You can read several forum discussions on the Helix Midnight here More recently though (9 months ago) there were some consumers complaining about indentations after 2 weeks of use of Helix Midnight Luxe and you’d want to check that they did not change the foam densities and that each component meets the durability guidelines mentioned above. See post 1 hereas well. As a side sleeper, you definitely want a durable and comfortable support layer on whichever mattress you decide to go with. I would suggest discussing with any retailer, provided that they are not just salespeople and have real knowledge and experience and they don’t rely just on the “questionnaire” and tell you what you want to hear to get a sale. So make sure that you speak with an informed rep, where you will be shipping the new mattress to, so you can get a comparison of time and cost and can have it in your new residence on the first night.
