Mattress based on my "sleep comfort"

Can you recommend a mattress based on my "sleep comfort" test that I took at a local Mattress store. My level is "Steel" and the mattress that was recommended was the S&F Abbey Lynn Pillowtop. The store price is $3,099 and due to a local sale I was offered $100.00 off my purchase. I still think this is way too high a price for this set, and my biggest fear is durability. I want something that I'm not going to have to replace in 5 years, especically at this outrageous price. My current complaints are saggging mattress, neck and lower back pain, don't sleep well anymore due to lack of comfort. I'm female, late 40's, weigh 150, 5'5", sleep alone in a queen size bed. Thank you for your help!

Hi Robin,
What you experienced was not a diagnostic tool, but a sales tool. It's designed to create the illusion of legitimacy to stores that are notorious rip-off artists.
The Abbey Lynn, the T grade, is the most expensive in the S&F line.
Pillowtops are terrible values, as they don't keep their shape as well.
The price for a queen set sell for $2249, from us....with free delivery and no sales tax.
However, the best spec in the S&F line is the P grade. A plush without a pillowtop sells for $1529.
The sleep test is a phoney gimmick...a shameless sales tool to aid salespeople who know little about their products.
The mattress industry, as a whole, has become inscrupulous. The greed of the large chains and the power they hold over the manufacturers are at the root of this problem.
Look for smaller companies to deal with. You'll usually find better prices, better service and more knowledgeable sales staffs....with fewer con artists.
Or, you could just buy it from us and avoid the whole mess.

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest pillowtop mattress, add latex foam topper

Hello, I have a Simmons beauty rest pillow top mattress. It is pretty comfy but it is only 4 years old and seems to have a slight indented where my hips are..I am getting upper back pain big time. Can I put a 2 inch latex topper on top with 20 ILD to make it a bit firmer! I have had back surgery and still have other aches pains due to autoimmune disease. cheers

Hi Linda,
A 2" soft Talalay Latex foam topper will make it more comfortable. Before laying the topper on, lay in towels to fill in the dips and even out the surface.

Aireloom mattress sagging

We have an Aireloom mattress and have had really bad sagging issues, with the Aireloom handcrafted model. I am 6 foot and weigh 235, I find my shoulders and arms falling asleep from pressure and laying in the hole. My wife thinks I'm crazy! I am in the process of dealing with Aireloom. Will keep you informed.

Hi Jay. Please do. Aireloom is a tough company to get service out of.

A mattress like the "old kind"

Hello Peter. We have purchased from you in the past and were very pleased. We are looking for a mattress like "the old kind" that isn't 18-20" high and so heavy for our old weak bones that we have a hard time lifting and tucking sheets in. We actually would like to use the old (20 years) boxspring. Can that be done? Between Serta Perfect Sleeper and Sealy Posturpedic firm which would you recommend. Can we purchase the old fashioned less high mattresses or are they gone now? Thanks for any help. Pepper

Hi Pepper,
It isn't advisable to reuse a boxspring of that age...or even half that age.
The Posturepedics are better made than the Perfect Sleepers...stronger, and better quality materials.
The Reserve Series level 7, our Wysteria Lane, is your best bet. It has the higher coil count and better edge support as the higher end Signature Series, but not as thick. At about 12" in the "firm" model, I believe it's just what you're looking for.

Thanks, Pete

In this busy lifestyle we dont have time to sit and to have rest. Our 12 hours sitting time creates many tips of pains in the body. If you have these types of pain as back pain, neck pain you should try Chiropractic Technique. Here I am pasting a link that shows about message therapy http://www.corechiro.com/ check it once it'll help you for sure.

A GENERAL MESSAGE TO ALL IN RESPONSE TO THIS POST...
The management of this blog, while allowing this comment to remain published, does not know nor endorse this particular chiropractor. While I see one myself, on occasion, I have found that their practices can vary dramatically. I have found some that help and some that don't. There are conditions that are relieved and some that aren't, after a visit to the chiropractor.
There is value in checking it out. I would caution you to not believe everything you're told and I would further recommend that you shop around for a chiropractor as you would for other any product or service.

If anyone, after availing themselves of this chiropractor's services, finds that service to be either ineffective or otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will remove this post in its entirety. 

Thanks, Pete
