Need a Mattress? Heavenly bed or the W bed

What I want to know is how everybody shops for a matress. You know how they say you have to lie down on the matress to see if it's the one for you? So who does a quick nod to see if anyone else is in the aisle first and then the quick blink-and-you're-done lie down test drive? And who sprawls down and takes a half hour nap just to be sure?

Oh man, I want one! Stayed at a Westin for the first time on our wedding night. I'd love to have one of those!

That might not be the matress per se that you remember so fondly

I have been considering a heavenly bed for a while. It is the mattress/box springs by Simmons used at the Westin hotels. I have stayed on it and loved it. I came across a code online for a 40% off and free shipping last night. Thought some of you might be interested. The pillowtop is the heavenly bed, and the plush top w/ featherbed is what is used at the W hotels. Here is the link, http://www.whotelsthestore.com/, put what you want in the basket and the code is WH7G4. It is an employee discount code for 40% off. Only downfall is the code is good through august 31st. The mattress will ship free, but if you add other items a shipping cost will apply. Check out fatwallet.com for more talk about it if interested. http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/756780 I ordered mine and some of the great pillows....can't wait to see if it lives up to my expectations.

I am sooo jealous. I have put that bed on my christmas list for the past 7 years! Santa has yet to come through for me!:angry:

You got a few hours left......It really was a great price. I ordered some other stuff too, so I am thinking the total would have been 1395 for the King set less 40%===something like $ 840. and no shipping...not bad at all. I just hope I like it!

That is fabulous price, I am sure you will be sleeping on clouds very soon. Did you get the bedding too, or just the mattress set?

I have a Jamison, which made the original version of the Tempurpedic. It is made of latex foam instead of batting and springs.

There are several versions. The most expensive is about $1000 just for the mattress. I housesit for several people who have that one, and I don't like it as well.

Mine has a layer of the latex foam (what the Tempurpedic folks call the "memory foam") over a core of what my friend at the furniture store called "carpenter's foam." Kind of like what they have in stiff couch cushions. It feels soft to the touch, but it's firm, which is good for my back. I think you can get them with a pillow top, too.

I got it about 4 years ago and absolutely love it--no lumps or dents or anything.

Same way I shop for porridge and chairs. I break into people's houses like Goldilocks.

NoHall did you order it or buy this brand through a store? I need firm for my back too. Once our mattress starts to sag in the middle (From Doug sleeping in the middle) my back just can't take that one side of my bed is higher then the middle....where I roll to. This has been an ongoing battle for about 18 years. We've had three very expensive mattresses....and it's always the same.

I got it here at a local furniture store, but they're made just outside of Nashville. The company is Jamison, and here is their link.

I used to work for the owner of the store, and he told me that Tempurpedic bought their mattresses from Jamison, so the Tempurpedic that you see on t.v. are the same as the Jamisons.

NoHall---I think I may have seen while doing my research that Marriott Hotels use Jamison. I feel like I may have seen that you can use Marriott points to purchase. I know I could have used Starwood points on the Heavenly bed.
