Waited too long.

I have done my research. I have visited over a dozen regular mattress stores and 5 better mattress stores,read the latest 18 pages on this forum and read the content of many other sites from raw material suppliers to mattress manufacturers. I finally decided I know enough to make my decision. I have decided on a SleepEZ 10”. But I decided too late. I started building a platform form base worthy of such an investment. Doing the work is getting harder and harder as I am only able to get 4.5 to 5 hours of sleep and wake feeling like I have been kicked repeatedly in the back. My current innerspring mattress and topper have a 5.3" depression within 15 minutes of getting up and 3.1" depression after 7 hours off the bed.

At this point, I am going to buy the required slats and put them on my ugly old metal frame and place my order with SleepEZ. Better for the mattress to be slumming for a bit and me sleeping on it, than me suffer a power tool accident from lack of sleep.

Hi WillyG,

Thanks for letting us know what you ended up deciding … and congratulations on your new mattress :slight_smile:

As you know you made a great quality/value choice and I’m looking forward to your comments and feedback once you’ve received it and have had the chance to sleep on it for a bit.

It sounds like your old mattress was well past its due date for replacement!

That should be fine and it would also be OK to put mattress on the floor for the short term as well until you have the chance to get some very needed sleep and build your platform bed a little bit more “safely”.
