Mattress

#2000!!!! That's almost as much as my car payment.
Seriously, I had that problem with my $400 matress and solved it with extra slats and a support along the middle of the slats to support the matress from below.

We bought our mattress online from Healthy Foundations -- http://www.healthyfoundations.com/memory_foam_mattress.html
It arrived very quickly, vacuum-packed via the men in brown.

barefoot guy - the memory foam mattresses, when you get up in the morning, do they go back to their old shape or do they stay indented?

I think the mattress I have has a memory foam top, but it doesn't go back into shape. I just stays sagged in the middle.

Ours goes back to its original shape. Maybe after years of enjoyment it won't, but it does now!

About three years ago we bought Beach Jacket a foam mattress at the Mattress Firm in Atlanta. For at least a year it has sagged so badly in the middle that it gives me a backache when I spend the night with her. Any suggestions where I can buy a good queen-sized mattress in Atlanta that won't cost me a boatload of money? I really don't want to spend $1000.

Beachrunner - What brand was it? I would like to know so I can avoid that brand.

I think it was one of their house brands. I just looked at the handwritten invoice, and all it says is "Premier Queen." It is a foam mattress, and we paid $419.99 excluding tax. Unfortunately, we didn't buy the three-year warranty because we've never had a mattress that didn't last at least 15 years. This mattress was purchased in August 2004.

If you are considering the foam route...

Thanks for the link. I'm a little reluctant to get another foam mattress after the bad experience with this one. On second thought, Beach Jacket has back problems from injuries from playing basketball for so many years. Maybe I need to revisit my price point?

It's just really annoying to buy a mattress that doesn't even last three years. :bang:

Sterns and Foster is the only way to go!!!!

We had a Sterns & Foster for maybe less than 2 years.....it was HORRIBLE.........talk about buyer's remorse!!! It was so difficult to sleep we had to replace....our bodies felt like we'd been in a car wreck each morning!!
We had purchased a SERTA at the beach house and enjoyed it so much we just bought the same mattress for Nashville....it is excellent.....

Explored foam mattresses last year.....just couldn't get comfortable with the potential toxicity issues......

Good Luck....I will say that obtaining the Serta's have been the best mattress buying experience we've ever had.....previously for us it was ranked down there with "root canal" :yikes:

PK glad you said that about Serta, just bought a Serta for a daybed with trundle. I haven't recieved it yet, but had concerns.

Skunkape, OVERSTOCK RULES!!!!!!!!!!!
