I need a new mattress

[fool]

It has been a year or two since we bought our Saavta hybrid and every night we both say how comfy it is. Best bed I ever had.

Are people still loving their Saatvas? I know I was pushing Saatvas a few years ago - since I loved the mattress for the six months I had it - but wanted to confirm people are still happy. I'm going to be buying a mattress again soon and planning on a Saatva unless I come across something different.

Consumer Reports just reviewed mattresses and pillows. The pillows they liked are the Coop Home Good Original and the Sleep Number Comfort Fit Ultimate. They also listed the Rest Haven Memory Foam as their cheap pick ($25 for two!).

I have a Casper pillow, pricey but awesome. I started even packing it on road trips.

I also need to upgrade my pillow game so this is great great - thanks.

Every time I see this thread I think of Benny's racist story about the moving crew that fixed his old mattress by beating the crap out of it trying to get it through the door.

I got a Saatva a couple years ago, and no complaints. I really like it.

Still loving my Saatva 3 years in.

Wife and I have been on a traditional mattress for 25 years. Have slept on a half dozen foam mattresses at AirBNBs and friends houses and never impressed. I don’t get it.
That said, it’s probably time to rotate this one into a guest bedroom and get us a new one.

Bed in a box is the stupidest idea ever.
Don’t do it.

I still like traditional.
But good luck trying to find a two sided flipable mattress.
One sided was a fucked up invention. So nice to flip and rotate from time to time.

Never had a sleep number mattress. The long term problem I guess is the air leaking.
But can confirm they have some awesome pillows.

PS. The ghost of Benny Profane is smiling down on us.

Ours too. Likely 3 years old now and super comfy. We did buy the fancy one. Cost a bit more but really worth it.

Ours is the latex hybrid. In firm.

Saatva isn’t a bed in a box. It’s basically the same as a Beautyrest Black.

Yeah. Satvaa is good. Have one going on three years. Still good.

But next time I’m demanding a flippable mattress. The only way to get longevity is by changing the weight location.

I was just venting about bed in a box. Wife bought two twins. For overflow. Worst beds ever. Well no. Better than an air mattress. But not a real bed. Thank dog she resold them locally.

Still absolutely loving my Beautyrest Black after 10yrs. I got the middle of 5 firmness types called a luxury firm.

[liv2ski]

To get the latex top you have to spend $3,500 on a queen size Beautyrest Black. That is almost double my Saavta.

What’s the point of latex?

It’s for protection

[lowsparkco]

Counter point, I’ve had great luck with two $300 to $400 memory foam bed in a box purchases.

Toughest thing is to dial in the firmness. You basically have to guess and hope you were right. Can always throw a topper on if you guess really wrong.

Hopefully everyone knows the drill on the internet mattresses. All of these companies offer a full refund after X number of days if you don't like the mattress. Rather than pay for return shipping, these companies either have you donate the mattress to a non-profit or have someone pick it up for you. This someone works for the mattress manufacturer and picks up the mattress for free. In return, they are allowed to sell the mattress (minus warranty) and keep the profit.

I bought a 2k+ organic latex Avocado mattress that was used for a week for $500. Check out the reviews and once you decide what mattress you want, search craiglist and FB marketplace. If you live anywhere near a fairly large city you will find quite a few of these mattress resellers.

I might do that if I had a dry shed I could put the used mattress into on a hot summer day to nuke the bedbugs before brining it into my home.

The mattresses are sanitized and wrapped in plastic. The mattresses also had to be spotless and used with a mattress cover for the warranty refund. I have bought a few mattresses this way and have zero complaints. These folks normally have a storage unit filled with numerous brands to choose from. It actually isnt as sketchy as it sounds

It is just so comfortable. Once you try it you're ruined, kind of like flying first class overseas. Coach will never work again.

[jm2e]

Sorry, are we talking about condoms?
I literally don’t understand where the latex would even be. I mean, my reference is a firm coil mattress with no pillow top. A basic mattress pad to keep stains off. And sheets.
Every mattress I’ve ever been on that attempted to make things softer fucks up my neck and back.

Bought 2 Tempur-Pedic mattresses this year. Both medium but the queen is slightly firmer than the full. Both are the same thickness but if I sleep on my back with the queen I wake up with with a sore neck. Oddly on the full no pain whatsoever. All I can figure is maybe it's has to do with the boxspings. The queen has a new one and the full is on an older one. Not really sure if this a factor or different manufacturing location or use of materials. I bought them 6 months apart.

In other news my wife's frozen shoulder went away after a month and after a decade of rough sleep I'm finally sleeping better and waking up refreshed. I highly recommend giving a Tempur-Pedic a try.

My original Bed In A Box is the best mattress I have ever owned/slept on. I have slept on the 5k top of the line tempur pedics too. You are just paying for the name on those. Seriously.

Going to grab on of these soon in a King.

I have come to the belief that most people just sleep on way too soft of a mattress and therefore have back/sleeping problems.

[liv2ski]

I sleep on my side, so I must have a small pillow between my knees to avoid a lower back issue. Got a latex pillow too and my fucked up neck is perfect again. Can not emphasize enough how important a great mattress and pillow is.

Brand X is better than Y doesn't mean anything. You don't even know what's in it.

At least you are talking about the bed's construction. Coils over foam core.

Dunlop latex is often considered better than Talalay latex since it is denser, hardier, less energy-intensive to produce, and more sustainable. However, when compared to other materials, such as memory foam, Dunlop and Talalay are both exceptionally durable.

Perforated or solid? How thick?

I like talalay better but if you use it as the top layer, it doesn't last at all. Its all personal, if you hate it I wouldn't blame you.




But if you bought a bed with Polyurethane foam, you fucked up.
