Hello!
Thank you for the massive information here! It is not as simple to educate yourself on mattress online as I hoped for.
We are looking to purchase a King size bed to replace our 7 years old queen.
I’m 5.11" about 160lb and my wife is 120lb 5ft 4".
She likes her mattress “soft” and- “hotel like” as she puts it.
I usually prefer firm, but do not complain on a good softer one.
I sleep all over: side, back, stomach. She is a side sleeper and back sleeper as well…
We are in NYC, but will be relocating for work few months to Israel (yes…).
We thought that we should try the memory foam a try and “indulge” ourselves with a good quality one, however we do not want to invest more than $1200 (and i\even this one is a stretch…).
We want a mattress that will last at least several years (7??) but won;t be sorry if we can keep it for more.
Doing some math we just came to the conclusion that it won’t be smart to buy an “expensive” around $1200 mattress in order to replace it in 5-6 years. It might be more beneficial to buy a cheaper one (around the $600-$700) and then replace it.
Having said all that now we can go to the most important part:
I was looking at several options in stores and online.
We went to Sleepys and tried the TEMPUR-Cloud Supreme Breeze, TEMPUR-Weightless Supreme and A\another Sleeping Beauty Gabrielle (that I can’t find online). My wife really liked the last one.
When I started reading about matrresses I eliminated the Costco/Wal-Mart ones, as well as the Bed in a box and Novosbed.
Your recommendations lead me to DreamFoam Bedding on Amazon.
Initially I was looking only at the Ultimate Dreams 13" Gel Memory Foam Mattress but then I noticed the Eurotop one and lastly the latex one here.
Eventually, my questions:
- I now think that the additional $$ for the Eurotop is not for us and that the Ultra Plush will most probably be more than all right for us. Am I rights?
- Now, I’m trying to understnad the difference between the latex and the MF, and I know you will say this is apples to oranges, but still- shouldn’t a latex mattress be more expensive then a MF?
I saw this but no more about these two. . Will appreciate any assistance on the difference, pros and cons of these two. - In terms of longevity- which one?
- I don’t want to come as rude, but I will be direct nevertheless: I couldn’t find any reviews/ company information or recommendations for Brooklyn Bedding anywhere on the internet except this site. How come?
- General question- how one can check and make sure that the mattress received is true to its specs?
- is Brooklyn Bedding 13" MF CertiPUR certified?
I am sorry for the long post… I didn’t even know that I have so many questions before I started writing
Thanks for any guidance!
