Replacement for Serta Empire Mattresses from 1998.

Tracie & Steve write:

 

Hi Pete,

In 1998 we purchased 5 sets of Serta Empire mattresses for a cabin we use as a retreat/family reunion in TN.  

The mattresses were super comfortable and we got compliments on them and they have held up extremely well.  

I don't have a model number - just the original receipt with the name.  

We are now needing a replacement those mattresses and would like something comparable.  

Can you direct us at all?

Sincerely, Tracie and Steve

 

Hi Tracie and Steve,

The 1990s was the best time to buy a mattress.

The industry had struck that balance of support, comfort and longevity.

During those years, it was nearly impossible to buy a bad mattress.

All of the major brands were competing with one another for quality & comfort.

 

Much has changed since then.

All of the name brands were sold to investors who concern themselves with profits only...not quality.

The product that came along, that made all this happen?...Memory Foam.

 

Your mattress has no memory foam, which is why it lasted so long.

Despite all the advertising hype to the contrary, memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented...specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

 

The key to a successful purchase, today, is in avoiding mattresses made with memory foam.

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years, until 2013, when Tempurpedic bought them both. 

A different investment group bought Simmons and Serta.

What had been great products are now nothing more than expensive junk.

All that sent us to the trade shows, to find high quality alternatives.

 

The best value we found is from Wolf...the oldest mattress manufacturer in the country that has been continually owned and operated by the same family...since 1873.

They make a very good quality mattress that is an old fashioned two sided mattress...very much like what you have now.

The Brolynn Plush both sides is the most comfortable of them.

Here is a link to those mattresses.

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.
