Quote HistoryQuoted: You have a mattress pad underneath it? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Signature-Design-by-Ashley-10-Chime-Hybrid-Mattress-Queen/342428811 I ordered this from Walmart and it showed up on my doorstep rolled up in shrink wrap and inside a long box. I walked the box to the bedroom and put I on the bed and removed the box. Got a razor and cut the wrap and it unrolled on the bed. I'm happy with it so far, but it does seem to skid off to the side a few inches and I just push it back every couple of weeks. That might be because I put it on top of a box spring. You have a mattress pad underneath it? No used the old box spring to make sit high? |

Picked up this one a couple of years back, it serves guest room duty. All guests have commented positively on its comfort and that they slept sound. Happy guest happy nest.

We have a Zinus in our camper and also bought one for our daughter. I think they're just as good as the tempurpedic we have in our master bedroom.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tuft and needle is appealing because I think they've been around longer than a lot of the recent pop-up brands I'll tell you about my experience. I used to work in the city and had an apartment. Got a twin T&N and it was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. When wife and I moved into our new house we got a queen T&N. It was hard as all hell. I called the company and they said the queens are firmer than the twins because of some BS reason. They apologized though and sent me a free mattress topper. That shit was like a $200 mattress topper for free. Well we tried it for another month and ultimately decided not to keep it. So I called the company and they refunded my money. I asked them how I return the mattress and the topper and they said because of health concerns they were not able to take them back and that I would have to discard of it. So they gave me my money, and let me keep the mattress and the free topper. So you may find the mattress is wayy too firm. But I couldn't recommend the company enough. Very good company to spend your money with. We ultimately moved the mattress to a spare bedroom and when my parents come over they swear it's the most comfortable bed ever. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Our Tuft and Needle has been great. Firmer than some of the other options I've tried out at other people's houses. Another vote for tuft and needle. Ours is about 2 1/2 years old now so I can’t really give you any long term review, but it’s been great so far. FYI a king size mattress is really heavy even if it’s jammed into a deceptively small box, hope you’ve got a handtruck at the house or a wife with a strong back, and under no circumstances should you open the box until it’s in your bedroom, haha. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I first went with the Nectar. I was hoping to love it but it hurt my back more than the POS I got rid of. I slept "on it" instead of in it. Too firm for me. Number 2 was the trick. I have the Puffy mattress. It allows me to sink into but supports my body. I love it. I never sleep good but it's about as good as I can get and it's comfortable. ETA It slips my mind right now but there is a brand which is flip able. One side is firm, the other softer. |

Laying on a Zinus queen sized right now. Pretty decent for the price ($300?). Son has one in his guest room that is really comfortable and that is what turned us on to the brand. Made in Indonesia, not China FWIW.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My wife and I had a Tuft and Needle for 3 years. I hated that thing. It killed my shoulders and lower back. We just got a an Idle Sleep Plush mattress. Only a couple nights on it, but so far its better. It is much softer and had a 18 month trial period which is nice. @spyderboy03 do you remember which model you had? Are you a side sleeper or other? |

Off-gassing mystery foam in a box. No way I would spend 6-10 hours a day breathing in whatever reaction byproducts it leaks out. What was wrong with regular mattresses, besides shipping costs?

You just don't smell it because they air out in a warehouse swimming in rat shit for 2 years before you sleep on it. |

I have an Idle Sleep Hybrid. Went with it because it is is flippable and still has some springs in it. Most of the mattresses are just usable on one side and I feel that wears them out quicker.

You just don't smell it because they air out in a warehouse swimming in rat shit for 2 years before you sleep on it. You can (and I do) get mattresses which use cotton, wool, polyester (probably other fibers too) batting instead of foam. Who knows the volatility of the byproducts of that foam reaction? Who knows how well the mix was calibrated for your mattress? I don’t, and neither do you. There are innumerable carcinogenic, xenohormone, or otherwise biologically active compounds - some odorless, some you go nose-blind to after minutes, hours, or days. You pick your own mattress, obviously, but I’m sticking with known materials. |

Made in the USA . |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You don't think foam is a known material? Foam is the product of a chemical reaction (not being a jerk just laying the groundwork). That reaction occurs throughout each foam product as it is produced. Each mattress (and each part of each mattress) is consequently the product of an independent set of reactions. Provided the reaction is well known, the inputs are well controlled, properly mixed, and the flow through the mold cavity is well understood and remains properly mixed, the temperatures, pressures, levels of reactants and byproducts throughout the forming mattress remain within whatever ideal boundaries - you should get an output that has some range of foam and byproduct content. A mattress isn’t part of a space shuttle, and all of that stuff is not controlled or monitored to any degree more than is required to get a product to market and into peoples homes. That means telling people the chemical stench is normal and just needs a little “airing out”. Wool is made in a sheep. It’s a known material that does not have volatile components to poison me while I sleep. |

I switch between my back and either side at night, but probably spend 90% of my time on either side. There were also noticeable depressions on both sides of the bed within the first few months. I probably averaged 240 lbs during the time we had it. |

Bought a Casper from costco. It replaced a near 20 year old first gen tempur pedic. For about 3 week, I HATED the Casper. The first week, I couldn't sleep for more than an hour... it almost got returned. Only reason it didn't was optimism and laziness.
10 months later, I like it... but the first 4 weeks sucked... it felt fine to lay in, but sleep, sucked. After about 4 weeks, it seemed to break in and got comfy. Now, I like it. I don't love it, but it's a solid 4 out of 5. |

I like my Casper. It's an 'original', and what I would consider firm.
The mattress it replaced was completely worn out and falling apart, so it felt like sleeping on a rock the first night we had it. After that it's made for much nicer sleep. It's been worth it, and convenient. We also bought the Casper 'foundation' for it. In hindsight, I'd have just kept the box spring we had. |

This topic has been studied and reviewed ad nauseam and every single article I have ever read has come to the same conclusion: the levels of byproducts (vocs) that are emitted are well below the limits of exposure recommend by the cdc and there has not been a single research article that has ever been published that suggests the out gassing from foam mattresses has or will ever cause cancer. Linoleum floors also have vocs, many of which are the same. Same conclusions there. Foam is literally everywhere. You're around it all day, every day. I understand if you want to sleep on hot, expensive wool beds with springs sticking in your side... but to suggest foam mattresses are unsafe is simply wrong and is not supported by a single piece of research literature or government organization. |

Of course every mattress and use is different We have a Tempur Foam and it started to dip after four years and we are not big people. I actually added a piece of 3/4" plywood to the middle of the bed and it still is sinking. Had the rep come out two summers ago and review and they would not warranty it. On top of the dip it is so hot in the summer we keep our air set lower just to try and get good nights sleep. The only thing I do like about it is that it does help with any pressure points on my one hip that bugs me from time to time , but many days i wake with back stiffness from the dip. Looking at TN hybrid right now , but still not sure. |

I got the previously mentioned Zinus. I'm pretty impressed to far. I usually toss and turn a lot from my hips and shoulders hurting. There was much less of that.
It is a bit hot but I had a foam mattress years ago and this one is much cooler. It was pretty neat watching it grow from the size of a mini fridge to a 12" thick king. Maybe I'm easily amused. |
