It seems to me like everyone I have talked to lately has had the same problem my wife and I did in finding a mattress we both liked so I thought I would write about our experiences.
We had a mattress that was about 15 years old and had that sag in the middle. You know the one where if you lay on your side youâ€ll roll backwards into each other?
We decided it was time to get a new mattress so we went to our local furniture store and tried several different models from all the top names. After spending so much time "sleeping" on them to the point of the salespeople asking us for our breakfast order we decided on a Simmons Beautyrest and it was promptly delivered to our home.
It was extra firm and you could not feel the other person move around which was definitely a big plus. But, after trying the mattress for several weeks and waking up stiff and sore we felt it was too hard and asked for a replacement.
Since this was a store where we did a lot of business they obliged and we got a Serta Perfect Sleeper pillow top thinking that the extra cushion would help prevent that morning stiffness.
Well, the Serta turned out to be too soft and we never did get used to it. After several months we saw an ad for the Select Comfort Air Bed and I told my wife to" get ready because weâ€re headed to the mall" where there was a Select Comfort store.
After spending close to an hour trying the bed out and playing with all of the settings we were sold. Now we only had to wait a few weeks for delivery and we would be set and finally able to sleep peacefully.
The mattress came in several boxes and set-up was simple. At last, we were going to sleep comfortably! Well, once again we never did get used to the Select Comfort. Either it was too hard or too soft and it kind of felt like an air mattress that we used to use when we stayed at my sisterâ€s over the holidays so we sent it back. The remote control was kind of neat though.
The re-packing process was pretty difficult and I had to call the company to figure out how to get everything to fit back in the boxes as the main "mattress" was originally vacuum packed into a compact bag and now was much bigger and bulkier.
We went back to our old Serta still longing for a good nights sleep when we finally decided to try the mattress of last resort, the Tempurpedic Memory Foam mattress. I had used a Tempurpedic pillow for years and absolutely loved it but I was put off by the high price of the mattress. We decided that if it worked it would be well worth the money so we ordered one (this was before you could buy them in stores) and were pretty excited when it came.
After a few weeks we noticed we were having slight backaches in the morning so we called the company and a representative said that was common if you slept on your side (which we do) and that it would go away after awhile.
It took some time but eventually the pain did go away and we now love our Tempurpedic! You never have to flip it, dust mites canâ€t live in it and it lasts for at least 20 years.
I really like it best in the winter as it gets firm when itâ€s colder and then your body just nestles in nice and cozy as your body heat softens the mattress. In the summertime itâ€s definitely softer but still much better than any other mattress we have ever slept on.
If you are on a quest like we were for the perfect nightâ€s sleep do yourself a big favor and try the Tempurpedic Memory Foam mattress. Hey, if you donâ€t like it you can always send it back but Iâ€m guessing youâ€re going to love it too.

We all know that children are typically challenged when it comes to cleaning, so start your youngster off right with kids furniture that's quite simple to keep clean. When hunting for a kids bedroom set or playroom furniture it's a terrific idea to consider furnishings made of wood. Wooden kids furniture is likely to be built solid and is usually covered in a robust stain that will keep every single piece looking beautiful and new for years. But don't merely rely on the finish to keep the furniture looking good when you can do some things along the way to make sure that your kid's bed, dresser, nightstand and other furnishings will remain attractive and scratch free.
Now known as a convenient, inexpensive way to furnish almost any room in the home, futons have been in use in some form for many centuries. Though Asia, the Japanese in particular, are credited with using the first futons, the use of similar convenient, cotton beds can be traced to ancient Egypt, Babylon and Mesopotamia. These ancient yet advanced civilizations chose cotton because it is comfortable year round, keeping people warm during the winter and cool during the summer.
The many benefits of a good night's sleep cannot be overstressed. To this end, we often invest in expensive beds, high quality mattresses and even more frequently, luxurious bed linens. Nothing seems to make the world slip away faster than settling into a cozy bed and cuddling in our soft cotton or silk bed sheets. Interestingly, as enjoyable as this experience is, most of us do not take the time to preserve our investments in our luxury bed linen. By following a few simple steps you can maintain the quality of your bed linen investment.
Once upon a time, futons were considered cheap furnishings relegated to the kids' room or finished basement. As consumers realized how versatile, functional and comfortable futons are, the futon's place in the home became more prominent. Now these sofa bed alternatives are proudly displayed in the living rooms, dens and offices of even the highest end homes and businesses.
Good value and cheapest price are not the same thing. You can still get a high quality beanbag even if you save money on the purchase. Quality beanbags last longer and look better than cheap ones. They are also more comfortable, are fuller and come in a better selection of styles, prints and colors.
