Hey Guys! Well, after 30 years of using hand-me-downs, I'm finally going to get a new mattress to me from me for Christmas [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]. Any ideas or suggestions on which brands to look at?

Good for you! You have to do things like taht for yourself once in a while. We bought a mattress last spring from Slumberland. I don't know if thats a national chain or not. We had to compromise and took forever to find one both of us liked. We ended up with a Sealy Posterpedic.Have fun searching!

Howdy! Up here in CT we have Bob's Discount Furniture stores and that is where we got mattresses for the kids! So comfy and so cheap too! Good quality...I wish I had that for my bed! Lots of luck finding a new mattress!!

I bought a pillowtop mattress set (first new ones for my husband and I too) about 1 1/2 years ago. I can't think of the brand off the top of my head....but it is one of the ones with separately wrapped inner springs (pretty expensive). Don't get the pillowtop kind....although it was great to start out and cured my bad back, it has now molded to our bodies and no longer gives the support I want/need. -HiddenMickey

Couldn't resist a reply to you here as my DH and I own a mattress store. All the major brands have their pros and cons as well as firm, plush and pillowtops. Shop in comfortable clothes and bring your pillow if you want to, it's not uncommon! The very most important thing is to go to a reputable dealer with salespeople who really know their products. They should be asking questions about what you want, what you don't like about your mattress now, if you have any back problems, etc. They should give you plenty of time to try the sets you have narrowed it down to, and not rush you into any decision. If it's on sale today, it will more than likely still be on sale tomorrow (unless it really is a close-out model). I don't know what's standard in your area, but here we give everyone a 30-night trial period, with the option to exchange for another model if the first one doesn't turn out to be right for you. Being a sleep specialty shop, we have traditional mattresses, air mattresses, adjustable beds, and the way cool Swedish foam mattresses. If you go somewhere with lots of choices, you're bound to find the right bed for you! Hope this isn't too late to be helpful! Happy Z's to you!

We have a air mattress...that is to say, we have one of those adjustable air chamber mattresses, and WE LOVE IT! It has dual control which allows DH and I to choose the firmness of our side of the bed. It has a pillowtop too, so believe me, it is by far the most comfy bed I have ever had! We will never go back to conventional mattresses again...(Sorry Thumper Fan)!

No apologies necessary Debi! We sell tons of air mattresses! They are truely 'marriage savers'! I wasn't sure if IluvDisney was married or not so I didn't go there, but it's a good idea to take your spouse with you (where applicable!) when you make your final decision. It's not unusual for the husband to say, "Oh, it doesn't matter honey, I can sleep on anything!" And then they are the ones saying, "Hey, I really like this one, are you sure you still like that one better?" Ha-ha!

Hey, thanks for the insider info Thumper Fan. Our present mattress is sagging bad. It is a Sealy about 9 years old, so we are thinking of a new one. We were thinking of a pillow top, but not so sure now.
