So for the past 9 years I have slept on a tempurpedic mattress, the first 7 of the 9 on the allurabed then the past two years on the cloud luxe supreme. I thought both were great mattresses to a point. Over time my body would develop aches and pains on the allurabed so we thought buying a new version of tempurpedic mattress might help. I bought the cloud because at the time it was rated as the best customer satisfied bed and I loved the feel of it in the store. Two years later after losing a substantial amount of weight I developed severe lower back pain almost to the point of not being able to move when I got up.
So, the quest to find a mattress is on! Our first stop is the simmons beautyrest world class Shakespeare recharge….yeah the titles of these beds are stupid!!! Basically simmons makes the same model with slight variations so that companies like Sleepys can claim to give 20% the lowest price you can find or it’s free, but all their stupid beds are made for them alone!!! The Shakespeare, Annapolis or manorville are all the same bed, with one variation or another, making it impossible for you to get a 20% discount! Mattress sellers are worse than used car dealerships in my opinion. When you walk into one of those places, some scumbag inevitably strolls up and gives you the song and dance about how he is a “sleep expert” and how you as a customer don’t know shit about what you need until he tells you. This industry should be ashamed of itself!! The three places I’ve been in recently are mattress Discounters, sleepys(same company as mattress Discounters by the way) and mattress warehouse. All of them filled with salesman I would trust to watch my dog!
Anyway, I decided to buy a Saatva mattress online because why the hell not? Well then sleepys offered free delivery and box springs and a discount on the Simmons the wife wanted so I cancelled the Saatva and ordered the Simmons, online through sleepys, no scumbag salesman! The best thing going about that right now, got the mattress delivered the next morning!!! Scumbag salesman at sleepys told me two days ago that I couldn’t get a mattress delivered until next week! Yet last night I slept on the new mattress. Well, I didn’t sleep that much. For whatever reason the wife brought the three year old into bed with us who just kicked the shit out of me all night long.
The inital feel of this bed was ok. After my first nights sleep, I am not recharged. The comfort level is the luxury plush, so it has all the fancy air gel cooling crap and 1000+coils. It still makes my body ache this morning. My back most of all, right in the middle. I have a sleep tight app on my phone that measures my sleeping quality, I got about five minutes of REM sleep four time last night. Not the best sleep.
So I am going to be writing posts daily on this bed over the next 14 days at least, to determine if we should keep it or return it. It’s $249.99 to return it. $99.99 for the delivery guys to come get it and $150 for them to burn it, or so they say, I doubt that’s what they do very much!!! They probably make this the showroom bed then resell the showroom bed as “opened item” claiming that it was new when they put it out there. The scumbag salesman at Sleepys said that the charge was just $99 to have the mattress taken away, didn’t mention the $150 burn fee. The lady at sleepys who arranged delivery told me about that, so buying online from them seems to cut out all the bullshit you get from their in-store shit show.
I feel like I should’ve stuck with the Saatva. It was $310 more though. If this Simmons still sucks after 14 days, Saatva is getting a reorder from me!!
