Need mattress choice help

[Schu]

Volkswagen Alltrack has been good so far... as long as you stay away from the moonroof option.

 

 

Nice and peppy with all wheel drive and a 1.8l turbo that can be pushed to around 300hp without much effort, but expense 😛

Probably a direct competitor to most of the Subaru SUV line...

Thank you for buying a vehicle assembled in Indiana 👍

I wanted the Honda CRV but it has known problems with the 1500cc turbo charged engine.

 

I have that engine, its tuned (ecu) and it's my daily.  My motor certainly doesn't have that problem.

I researched SUV's

 

For 5 dealerships. Driving into the lot of the fifth dealership my wife pointed and said "That's what I want right there"!!! Done.

Waterbed, for sure.

 

[dtel]

I would love to but scared.

Both US-Mattress and Nectar have some nice mattress at good prices.

Yes waveless waterbed better if you want to walk on. Broken big toe. decided for me. Would just sleep on the showrrom floor overnighter for such a decide... women allowed...

Sams Club Serta Perfect Sleeper - (I bought the Ridgemont in 2015) - back then, Sams had floor models that pulled out from the pallet racks like cabinet drawers, and you could test... but that test wasn't anything more than a tire kicker opportunity... I couldn't find the Ridgemont as a current offering last night, nevertheless, other things to consider with a plush pillowtop mattress would be;

1. height from the floor - so get the big box springs at the same time... (no one wants to see a T-Bone steak on a pancake in their home)
2. current sheet supply - you will need to get bigger sheets - I enjoy Sams Club hotel offerings, the elastic edging rival's the best I've ever seen, even beats good underware...
3. The top bedspread will need to be large... but I don't mind seeing the box springs in my current set-up, so I just kept the one I've had for the last 25 yr's...

Well... there's a few points I consider a normal observation, but I have no doubt they may be strange when reviewed in other parts of the world...

And.... I'm a CPAP sleeper, so the tubing to the Philips Unit was not an issue, infact it improved with the added height to the bedside table nomenclature angle set-up or whatever word you use to describe point A to B..

In Summary.... For Comfort - The Best I've ever Slept in... $650 was my Budget.... add a Hundred for the new sheets maybe... I don't remember, but I got them....

 

P.S.  You might want to consider a new Washer and Dryer, for the ease of not listening to a knocking sound during the rinse spin cycle.....

 

Or.... you could invest in a classic 1949 Nash Airflyte

Why did the waterbed go out of style?

I really enjoyed mine, slept well and the heater was awesome in the winter.

It's always been my dream to have another good car made in America.

 

Our last car was made in Marysville, OH at the Honda plant.

Our local Sams has the pull-out.  I agree with you about the tire-kicker concept.  It's not great but I guess it's better than nothing.

 

I have a box spring I am going to keep, just need the mattress.  SC may not have that Ridgemont model you mentioned, but it sounds like you are recommending the plush pillowtop?  I'm sure SC Serta has an equivalent.  It gives me a place to look.

 

EDIT:  Here is the Sams Serta:

You mentioned two things, the Serta Perfect Sleeper and the motel mattresses.  I saw the motel models in the SC on-line.  Is a motel mattress something I need, or should consider?  Is it superior to a standard home mattress?  Which was the best mattress you ever slept it, the Serta or the motel mattress?

 

FYI I am also a big guy, Cpap user, Philips unit.  I sleep mostly on my back.

Thanks for the link, looking now.

 

I was just at Sams Club, laying down on the mattresses believe it or not.  I felt like an idiot.

I don't know.

 

When we got married 40 years ago we couldn't afford a new bed and there was a place in N.O. that if you bought the mattress, liner, and heater they gave you plans for the frame. It was full motion back then, over the years we got a better waveless mattress and different frame with drawers under it. Never had a leak in probably 35 years, and we had cats, then kids and no leaks.

 

Now I'm older and worried about all that water inside, we really did like sleeping on it but a little scared of leaks.

Had to share this ... from a post by @Chris A in Audiophiles Anynomous ...

My first bed out of college was made up of eight tea crates (free for the asking from Lipton company at the Galveston docks) with a pad of foam rubber on top...for 5 years.

OK; last one on mattresses ... we got a Tempur-Pedic about a year ago ... ?Flex?model ... awesome ... expensive, but we got the floor model at 50% off from a big furniture store ... haha; only 100 people laid on it for a minute ... for a $1000 savings it did not bother me  

Cheers, Emile

Tempurpedic.... The fire from below... 

[MEH Synergy]

And..... For those that just don't sleep on mattresses(I am hoping all, especially with the holidays approaching) .... A TERRIBLE choice....

I swear this won't take 3 weeks to decide like the TV thread, but I need help.  I'm going to pick up a new mattress (only) , but how the heck do I decide?

 

I'll buy through Sams Club.  They have in-club and then a whole bunch on-line.

https://www.samsclub.com/sams/queen-mattresses/1353.cp?clubId=6373&limit=48&offset=0&rootDimension=product_rating%3A4%2Bstars%2Band%2Babove&searchCategoryId=1353&selectedFilter=all&sortKey=p_sales_rank&sortOrder=1&viewMode=grid

 

In the Queen size mattress there are 500 choices.  When I go to the 4 star and above ratings there are 252.  There is memory foam, innerspring, hybrid,  After that there is Firm, Medium, Plush, Ultra Plush, Extra firm, adjustable.

 

Here are the 94 mattress only choices.

How in the world do I figure out what I want?  I don't even know where to start.

first it was a tv.... And now a mattress.....

 

you should go sit on Santa's lap...

 

i hope you haven't been naughty....

 

Santa's checking his list and checking it twice...

There's nothing wrong with a naughty boy.   In fact, there's something wrong with a boy that hasn't been naughty?
