Simmons Sagging





I'm replacing my Simmons Beautyrest mattress that is less than three years old because it is sagging. I'm looking at organic memory foam companies and now believe that heavy metal coils don't work for me. I weigh about 118 pounds and am experiencing back pain from the lack of support. I tend to get cold at night. I read statistics that some memory foam customers complain about getting hot, I don't think that will be my issue.


I have read statistics that twenty five percent of Simmons Beautyrest owners report premature sagging. My mattress has lost all support and when the bed is made up it visually shows the dip in the middle. This is not normal wear.

When I bought this at Sleepy's I was told it should last eight years.  I'm shopping other companies Sleep EZ, Innomax, Foam Sweet Foam, Eco Sleep, Nurest, Englander,  Dream foam, Ergo.... and more.
If you have suggestions please advise

Converting Teen Bedroom


graduationjune2011 026

I am in the process of replacing the bed in my teen daughter's room that is off to college. Her bedroom is large and colorful but not very practical anymore. I would like to make the room into a craft project room as the windows have a lovely view. I will move daughter's "bedroom" to downstairs as an updated guest room. I donated all the chartreuse green linens, wild murals and toys she left and no longer wants. By combining white linens with feminine touches, I transformed her leftover furnishings to accommodate guests. When she comes home for holidays the downstairs will be her new room.



I looked at Murphy Beds online but most are dark wood frames and two to three thousand dollars. I do not want to throw away the mattress in her old room as it is only three years old. , On holidays I may need the extra sleeping room. Wondering what other lower cost options might be available to combine a craft room with a hide- the - mattress?

Gel Memory Foam Mattress

Costco Bed in a box. The mattress comes in a cardboard box, - yes. Photograph of actual unappealing floor display. There is no display of the product. How could a consumer know what is inside the box when none are displayed on the floor? The Serta memory foam three layer in a Queen size is cheaper than the king size of this same product. Costco price $899.00

The box might be lighter than the packed other product to carry home, therefore avoiding the borrowing your cousin's pick up truck to then later find your new Sealy or Serta or Simmons mattress strewn on the freeway as a foam bed for the cars behind you.

Is a Costco Sealy Mattress Really a Deal?

Costco Sells the Sealy Ivory Forest Mattress in King for $899.00
How can a loyal Costco buyer determine if this is the same specifications as one in a store on one purchased from Amazon?

Costco makes the display impossible to even see if the mattress is nine inches. After some study, I learned the mattress is supposed to have 14 coils inside; however there is no way to even touch the bed to check.

After I put it on a flat bed trolley, lug it home in my brother in law's pickup truck and set it up will I like the bed? I trust Costco's reliable return policies; but by the time I get help bringing it upstairs, the idea of bringing it back to the store and not getting it dirty in the process seems daunting.  Amazon sells one with box springs included for an additional $225.  including delivery to my home.

In comparing a local retailer, Sit 'N Sleep- they do not sell any Sealy beds in the $ 899. price range. They have Powder Sand and Rose Sorbet that are firm beds from $1249. -$1399. How in the world can a consumer compare apples to apples when custom names are attributed to same manufacturer?



For new firm mattress they appear unappealing-
