Well, as stated in the home remodeling and Ikea thread, remodeled our bedroom. I also wanted to also replace our mattress. Our bed had gotten so uncomfortable that last year got a latex 1.5" topper which made a world of difference. What I wanted to do this year is replace the mattress with another no frills firm flippable mattress, and continue to use the latex. So, went to store. Was informed that no longer making flippable mattresses since 2002 (so our mattress must be older than that). Tried a couple of firm mattresses, but actually preferred a "plush" one better, (simmons beautyrest bora bora plush). I am very intrigued about the seperate coils because sometimes when my husband gets into bed late he wakes me up and I have a hard time falling back to sleep.
We decided to buy it. In an ideal world maybe should have waited and gotten an all latex bed, but didn''t want to wait years (and years) to replace this bed. It will definitely be the nicest bed I''ve ever had. When I was growing up my twin bed was so lumpy I would often take my blanket and pillow and sleep on the floor instead. In college and years afterwards I had a futon. After that a spring mattress with no padding. Now that I''m older, I want a little cushioning for my joints. The main thing I''m worried about is whether it will last as long as a classic spring mattress. That is I don''t want 3 years from now it not feeling it is giving me support. It comes with a 10 year warranty and the store added another 5, so hopefully if it fails before then we can get it replaced.
