Anyone buy a mattress recently?
We are in need of a new mattress, and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for retailers. We are looking for King size. If you've purchased a King size and are willing to share, how much did you pay?
Thanks.
Re: Anyone buy a mattress recently?
Do you need mattress only or a set with the box springs?
I bought a new bed about 2 years ago from Costco. It was a queen size (can't fit a King in our house) but we are really happy with it. It is one of the memory foam mattress. I think a King mattress would run you about $800.
Really the best thing is to go into a store and spend a good amount of time laying on beds. I know Art Van had/has a diagnostic bed which you lay on and it measures the pressure points when you lay on it and it helps direct you toward the right type of bed.
We bought a new mattress last fall from Jonathon Stevens. We love it! They were wonderful to work with. They are a local company, they do all the mattresses for the Amway and the JW. They make them right here in Grand Rapids. I feel like I'm sleeping in heaven. :-)
I believe they sell the box spring with the mattress, so it's priced as a set. I'd suggest if you replace one that you replace them both. It sounds like your bed is super old anyway.
The best thing to do is go lay on a bunch of beds and take your time making a decision. Put the time into picking out exactly what you want. GL!
We got ours from JS almost 5 years ago. We paid $1,300 for a king + box spring, frame, and a sheet thing that protects the mattress from stains.
I like the mattress. I think we should have gone with a softer one, but that's my fault for not choosing more carefully. It's 1000 x's better than what we had.
