Can we talk about mattresses?

We have tried Tempurpedic and Purple and both major failures. We then switched to Saatva and will never look back. We have had one of our Saatva's for 3 years and the other for 1 year. LOVE them both. The delivery is amazing as well as the quality and comfort of the mattress. We have been super pleased, and when our 3rd bed needs a new mattress, it will also be switched out for a Saatva!

I would swear by Sleep Numbers. I've slept on them for over 15 years now and they are wonderful.

Oh and call Saatva. They can tell you which one will be right for you and your hubby.

Same here! I got a card in the mail the other day telling me it was our 18th anniversary of having our original Sleep Number bed that we still use. (In contrast, the Simmons Beautyrest we replaced only lasted 1.5 years and cost $1,000 more than what we paid for our Sleep Number.) I can’t believe it has been that long! The only maintenance issue we have had in 18 years was that our pump went out around year 8 but because the bed has a 20 year warranty the cost to replace was prorated and not expensive. AND the customer service around that issue was so way over and above that I will be a customer for life, no lie.

I was 8 months pregnant at the time and we had changed out our bedroom furniture to make room for the bassinet. When we went to put the mattress back together the pump didn’t work. 😫 My only other option would be sleeping on our crappy futon. I made one call to see what my options were, and upon learning that it could take a week for the replacement pump to come, I was distraught. The lady on the phone went out of her way to call EVERY store within driving distance, on a Saturday, to find a store in our area that had a pump they could loan us until our new one arrived so we could get our bed set back up that day. All at no extra charge. I was so happy I could have literally cried.

My DH is a big guy, 6’ and 300+. I’m considerably smaller. I don’t think there would be another single mattress that would make us both happy long term. It was also a life saver when I was pregnant and I was able to adjust the mattress firmness as my weight and body structure changed.

On a related note, I’m about ready to switch the traditional queen mattress that’s in DD’s bedroom for the Sleep Number queen mattress that’s in our guest room. Why? Because the traditional mattress on my kid’s bed is SO. FREAKING. HEAVY! With her allergies, I have to wash and change ALL of her bedding every week, blankets and everything, and that bed is so heavy to lift to change the sheets. Her bed frame was originally a waterbed so the mattress has to be pulled up and out of the frame at the corners to change the sheets. I have arthritis in my back and a messed up shoulder. It’s been about a year and a half since she was diagnosed with allergies and I am so over it with that heavy freaking mattress. The Sleep Number mattress is like a tenth of the weight. It would be much more tolerable to only have to change the sheets on that heavy mattress once or twice a year when we have guests compared to every stinking week.

Neither one of us had specific mattress needs, other than at the time, I was getting a lot of night sweats (menopause) and his tossing and turning was keeping me awake. We ended up with a Casper and I can definitely say, I do not feel it when he’s rolling around all night. It does sleep a bit cooler than the traditional pillow top mattress we had before.

I think if we were going to spend more and go all out, we would look at Sleep Number. But since we didn’t have a need for all the bells and whistles the Casper has been great.

Going and laying on them in a store never, ever worked for us. We always ended up with the wrong mattress.

We just went through this and are having a new mattress set delivered tomorrow. We are fortunate that many of the online brands are available in stores here to try out. I ruled them out almost immediately. The Purple was the only one that made my lower back hurt. We went in convinced we wanted another plush innerspring and had decided on a Kingsdown medium plush. Very comfortable with excellent side support. Stern & Foster has less of that and I felt like I was going to roll off the edge.

After 15 years of swearing I would never have a Tempurpedic, that is what we bought. It's the ProAdapt Hybrid with both springs and the tempur foam, and was by far the most comfortable mattress. When I took DH back he agreed. What we've done differently this time is to buy the split set (2 XL Twins), as well as the adjustable base with head/foot adjustments. Our sleep patterns are so different and this gives us the most flexibility. Not thrilled with having to buy new fitted sheets, but hopefully it's worth it in the end!

We have the Casper Wave at two of our houses. I've never slept better in my life.

we bought an avocado brand mattress, it was made in the us and very well rated in consumer reports. we like it!

Another Sleep Number user here, with an adjustable base. We had a Temperpedic prior and didn’t like it. 

We bought a Sleep Number a year ago after having a posturpedic. My back is so much better now!

We bought a Sleep Number split king adjustable last summer and we love it. My favorite position is the Zero G. My back feels better instantly when I adjust to it. I love that I can sit up in bed and read and DH can be sleeping on his side and we can both set our own firmness and position. The customer service has been great. I love that I can control the bed with an app on my phone. We’re very happy with it.

Ten years ago we were gifted one of the cheaper Sleep Number mattresses and I have hated that piece of junk from the day it was delivered. I wish they would have left my previous mattress with the sprung spring because at least it was semi-comfortable. We are leaving this POS in Texas when we move and getting something else entirely and I literally have a clock on my phone that is counting down to the day I can throw this bed away.

As for what I am replacing it with? I'm not 100% sure, but I keep coming back to Big Fig and Wink, so likely it will be one of those two.
