I see a good deal on a mattress ( https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Brands-Ultimate-Mattress-California/dp/B07BV2PTJQ?th=1&psc=1 ) and ours is about 5 years old and sinks in on both sides. Are classic brand mattress’s any good? Thanks in advance!

Trying to decide between two mattresses, Zinus Green Tea or Classic brands Mercer gel hybrid. Which bed is better to you guys? I'd appreciate the feedback and help, thanks.

my wife and I are mattress shopping currently. it seems like when we finally find a mattress we like, the internet, and reddit in particular, give us a thousand reasons to get the hell away from it. so, are there any brands anyone can actually recommend?

edit:Thanks for all the responses. much to consider now

anyone have any experience with the classic brands cooling gel 12 inch king mattress the Amazon reviews look good but not sure I trust them I've used the dream foam for a while and am a fan but got a classic brands for 384 off of Amazon although am skeptical

Hi everyone, I recently got article Lenia bed (with velvet panel for headboard) and ordered classic brands cool gel mattress (after trying it at a friend’s place). Both the bed and mattress are standard king size and the mattress is 12 inches tall. Somehow the mattress doesn’t fit and I have an inch out of the bed at the foot of the bed. Any suggestions? Should I return the mattress? Or let it rest for 2-3 days? Does anyone have the similar bed, if so what mattress do you use? Please help!

What's the most frugal way to get a quality mattress? I've seen Tuft & Needle brought up here before. Has anyone owned one for a couple of years? I've also seen that mattresses bought from Sam's were actually good. Any tips?

Edit: looking for a Queen size for me and the wife.

I found a memory foam mattress from Classic Brands on super deep discount. I've never heard of them before and I was wondering if anyone had any info on the product or could point to some reviews?

Cool Gel Mattress

I am trying to find a mattress that is less than $1,500, will not sag in 5 years, doesn't contain fiberglass, and helps with overheating at night. I have looked at "Best mattress reviews," and then I came on Reddit to see that people complain about the mattress. What brand of mattress is even worth it? Why is this so difficult hahah...

Editing to say we are looking for a king mattress and my husband will not budge on that haha

I would just go with them but their return policy is looking pretty scary. I'm looking for that late 90's, early 00's entry level double-sided regular boring old spring mattress. I'm a stomach sleeper and modern ones just aren't cutting it. The old one I had from that era was fairly firm and would still be going strong had it not been deformed in a move.

edit: I'm in Pennsylvania if that helps. Great suggestions so far, thanks so much!

My mattress is cheap and is about 23 years old 😂, so I have finally decided it’s time to upgrade, it also might help me get better sleep. I was trying to choose between the main big brands that I usually see all over: sleep number, purple, nectar, Casper, and tempur pedic. Also throwing in beauty rest and stearns +foster. I am 130 lbs and a side sleeper, but for the most part I’m not super picky about my mattresses (considering my current mattress sucks, so anything would be an improvement). Anyways I was having trouble deciding, and When I get a day off I’ll go in person to try all of these mattresses out. But in the meantime the info I have is:

Purple: I bought their expensive Freeform pillow and loved it. So I like their gel grid “gimmick”. Their mattresses are expensive but their lowest end model is currently $699 (twin size) without a base. That’s still expensive but especially since I’d need to eventually buy their $200 bed base, but I am still tempted to buy it. But two things are also making me hesitant to. 1. I’ve seen it as low as $499 so I was thinking of waiting until the next sale. And 2. I’ve heard mixed reviews of their mattresses, main complaint being that the gel grid wears out very quickly.

Sleep number: their lowest end mattress the c2, is $599 (twin size). Even though it doesn’t include a base, it actually is a decent price. Only downsides are: 1. I’ve never tried a sleep number mattress. 2. I’ve heard that sleep number mattresses are just glorified overpriced air mattresses, meaning you could get the same thing cheaper somewhere else. Basically I don’t know if their gimmick is worth it. And 3. This specific model doesn’t really have a “cushiony layer on top”, so you feel the air balloon things rub against the thin fabric top layer. The only solution being you could buy a $200 sleep number mattress pad to add cushion to the thin mattress top.

Tempur pedic: their lowest end twin mattress is a whopping $1,599 making it one of the most expensive on this list. But I have heard they are very comfortable thus “worth the price”. The downsides are: 1. Very expensive and 2. I’ve heard their mattresses wear out after a while (meaning you won’t get that body support anymore).

Nectar: they originally seemed obscure/random but recently have been popping up near me. Their lowest end twin mattress is quite reasonable price wise, around $300. But the reason they are on this list, is because the mattress firm near me is selling both the nectar premier for $550 (mid range model) and the nectar luxe for $1,100 (top range model). For the luxe 14 inch medium hybrid mattress, that’s a whopping $700 off. So I could get a higher end model for less. Anyways nectar doesn’t really seem to have a gimmick at least from what I can tell. But the only cons are: 1. I have never tried a nectar mattress. And 2. People have said their mattresses aren’t that good and wear out after a short while.

Casper: their lowest end twin mattress is on sale for $600 without a base. A bit pricey but not too bad. I’ve never tried their mattresses but I did try their pillow at one of their stores. And it felt like a cheap pillow you’d find at Walmart for $10. But since I’ve never tried their beds I’m not sure if their beds also feel like that. And I’m not sure what their gimmick is. Regardless the only cons are: I’ve heard very mixed reviews about their mattresses, main things being that they are overpriced (not worth the money for what you get) and that they wear out quickly.

Lastly, these two are only on the list because they are also on sale near me for a somewhat decent price. First one being stearns and foster, I’ve heard they are 100% worth the money and very durable, but the cheapest one on sale is the studio 13” medium for $1,550. So definitely way up there in price. They do not seem to have a gimmick but only downside is that I’m not sure what sets them apart from the normal/standard mattresses (like Sealy and Serta), since they seem to be very similar.

The other brand “beautyrest” is on sale for $1,250; the model being the black series one. Which is still expensive but is about $300 off the original price. Anyways similar to stearns+foster people have said this is a luxury mattress and worth the money. They don’t have a gimmick as far as I can tell but I’ve heard they are very durable and very much worth the price. Only downside is that only the extra firm model is on sale for $1,250. Every other model is like $1500+. Cons are similar as well, being that I don’t see what makes them different in compared to a normal standard mattress.

Sorry for the long post, and I know that a big factor that will help me is actually trying each mattress in person. But I was mainly asking here to get more insight for each brand listed (which will help me choose), because I know some might be less durable or not very good. Anyways any help/insight is greatly appreciated thank you!

My old mattress has finally given up on me—I’ve been waking up sore, and it’s definitely time for a replacement. The problem is, I don’t want to spend a fortune but still want something comfortable and supportive.

What do you think is the best affordable mattress right now? Any advice from your own experience would be super helpful—thanks!

What would you recommend for someone who wants a high-end mattress?

I'm looking at the upper tier of brands like Saatva, Airweave, Purple, Naturepedic, and others.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So I live in Oklahoma, which is fairly dry as far as humidity goes. While there is some tiny mold spots in my bathroom here or there, it's pretty much impossible for it to grow under normal conditions outside of there. My room, and basically everywhere else, has absolutely no indications of mold anywhere.

Anyways, about 1 year ago I bought a cheap 12-inch memory foam mattress off of Amazon, from Classic Brands called the Cool Gel. During it's tenure, it was comfortable and I really had no complaints. It slept a *little* hot, but I kind of like that, since I can't sleep when I'm cold (and I like to blast the A/C). However, I negligently plopped it directly on the carpet, and proceeded to never let it air-out. I also didn't use any mattress protector or cover (or even a sheet). Well, fast forward a year later, and despite the mattress still being fairly comfortable, it was absolutely rotten with mold to the core. Disgusting, deep, and some crazy shades of bright green and blue as well as a stinky smell. The cover was stained, pilling, and pretty well-worn, and I had to throw it out after research online confirmed my suspicion -- which is that the mattress was unrecoverable. Despite the infestation of the mattress, the mold didn't cling onto anything else, and I made sure to douse everything in some strong cleaning vinegar as well as thorough scrubbing of the walls, vacuuming of the floor, and washing of the bedding.

I'm now very concerned with mold being an issue with my next purchase, since I don't have too much money, and well... mold is gross and unhealthy. I'm legitimately considering buying a mattress from the same company, since... well the comfort of the mattress seemed great. I'm pretty sure the mold is more my fault than theirs.

I'm done a bunch of research and discovered that basically, the mold happened because it was perpetually damp underneath the mattress because of my night sweats, and that because it was plopped on the floor with no airflow, it was the perfect environment for mold to grow. So I've decided to take a couple precautions so this does not happen again, since I want the mattress to go for at least 10 years... hell, 5 would be a lot better than 1. First off, I'm gonna grab a heavy-duty metal slat foundation to rest the mattress on, which should aerate under the mattress and allow moisture to escape. Second, I was going to get a 5-sided waterproof mattress protector, that will protect the mattress from my sweat better and keep the cover looking pristine. Going for 5-sided so I don't trap moisture -- it can still exit through the bottom foundation. Third, I was going to grab a nice breathable fitted sheet, to make the bed more comfort and allow one more layer of defense versus moisture penetrating into the mattress in the first place.

Anyways, I've got three major concerns;

- I'm a big guy (6'0", 325+lbs), and I'm pretty concerned that I will feel the mattress bottoming out on the metal slats. It was great on just the floor, but that is very even weight distribution. Or that the foundation will bend under my weight, or that it might be loud.
- If this is enough mold prevention steps. Last thing I want is a destroyed mattress and a hostile environment for my lungs, AGAIN.

- If a bed skirt will impede the ability for the foundation to aerate under the mattress (since I do want some basic covering for it under there, and bed skirts just look nice.

I'm open to all suggestions for which products to get and my opinions and plans are definitely open to interpretation too.
At the end of the day, I just want... well a nice place to sleep that won't become a nightmare.

I’m looking at a mattress by sealy that’s 1000$ off for 4th of July. I do see some people online saying their bad tho and they start to sag after a few months. Is this still true and are there any brands I should look for?

I previously bought an IKEA mattress, that has lasted at least 10 years. Great quality foam infill.

Are modern mattresses any different? I see some on amazon for $1000+ I'm sure I only paid a few hundred for my IKEA mattress. It must be a con to spend more than $300 on a mattress, right?

What are your recommendations?

Edit: Sort by new and 2 months later mattress salesmen are still commenting on this post. Interesting.
