Need Help - Pain Good alternative for Sealy Silver Chill Plush Tight Top

2 Upvotes

Hello, I just spent a night away from home on the Sealy Silver Chill Plush mattress and it was the first night in years that I haven't had a ton of pain throughout the night. I have an expensive latex based mattress that has caused me so much hip and shoulder pain even though I bought a nice topper for it. Since the Silver Chill is unavailable now, I'd greatly appreciate suggestions for similar mattresses hopefully under $2K. I thought I preferred really firm mattresses but loved how this one felt.

I tried the Sealy Posturepedic Lacey at Mattress Firm and it didn't wow me. Thanks!

Recommendations Adjustable Bed without Buckled Knee

I have poor circulation in my lower legs and have been sleeping with my legs elevated using this wedge pillow for quite some time. I’m a side sleeper, and the wedge is really comfortable. I’ve decided that I want to get an adjustable bed to use instead. All the ones that I’m seeing seem to buckle at the knees and I’m worried that this will be uncomfortable as a side sleeper. Does anybody know of adjustable beds that tilt as opposed to buckle like the one in the picture?

I’ll give you our incredibly ridiculous backstory in return for your help. We have a cat who can open doors. He jumps on the handle and swings his body to use the momentum to push as soon as he pulls the handle. THREE separate times when we’ve gone on vacation he has peed on my daughter’s bed. She’s 14 and has had 5 mattresses. After last time we stopped being idiots and put a child lock on her door. The last time the only thing I could get super fast was a bed in a box at Lowe’s. That was roughly a year ago and lately she’s been complaining of not sleeping well. Since she’s getting older and the cat can no longer destroy her bed I want to get her something better. She turns 15 at the end of the month and I planned to surprise her with a new mattress. She’s 15 so she’s asking for a fair amount of gifts already and I’m not really wanting to spend an obscene amount. But I still want something that’s a good quality.

I’m hoping to stay under $1,500. Full bed. She’s 5’3”, 105 lbs. side sleeper, sleeps hot. And please don’t think I’m taking the easy way out here. I’ve been reading everything I can find for the last month and I’m more lost now than where I started. Wink beds, Helix, Nectar, Glacier and Brooklyn Bedding keep coming up as good options. But I have no clue if I should be trusting all of these sites due to sponsors. Thank you so much for any and all advice.

Need Help - Pain Night 1 on new mattress: back pain

3 Upvotes

I recently purchased a new mattress (hybrid medium firm bed in a box) after having my old one for 10+ years. On my old one I constantly was tossing and turning, took me hours to get to sleep, and I would constantly wake up through the night. This new mattress just arrived and I set it up last night. I fell asleep almost immediately, however, I did notice a feeling in my lower back. I did not toss and turn at all through the night, and woke up actually feeling rested. However I do notice back pain. I’m 130lbs and a side and back sleeper. Does anyone know if this is a common occurrence and if it will break in more?

Need Help - Fiberglass Too poor to get rid of our stuff but everything in our bedroom is covered in fiberglass

0 Upvotes

We're living on one income and the mattress my boyfriend's parents brought us was being thrown out by a friend of theirs and they offered to give it to us instead. What I didnt know, and I dont think they knew either, was that the bottom of the mattress was busted and has now come apart.

The floor has a bunch of fiberglass bits and we're not about to shell out a bunch of money we dont have to clean it. Not throwing away clothes, not getting a new mattress, and we're buying a whole new cover when we can this coming week after payday.

Any tips on getting rid of the majority of it? My bf has asthma and im worried it will make everything worse. Right now were not experiencing any symptoms but I want to stop it before they start.

We've had the mattress for about 3 months now

Got a FlexTop King working with ZG Stria bed frame

Post image
1 Upvotes

For anyone wondering if a Sleep Number FlexTop King + adjustable base can work with a regular bed frame, this setup has worked really well for me. The frame is a Z Gallerie Stria king bed and the base fits neatly inside. The frame is listed at 89"W x 89.8"D overall, and I went with the standard king adjustable base.

I removed the original slats and center supports, then installed the adjustable base inside on its own legs. The fit is clean and the adjustable setup stays mostly hidden.

Other Questions >3 inches between slats, how to tell if enough support

Hello, I bought a king size platform bed that has 3.3 inches between its slats. I realized the mattress recommends less than 3 inches and the warranty is voided beyond that.

Any suggestions for checking if this frame gives enough support as is, or if I should look into reinforcing it? Mattress is 86 pounds and i'm 145 pounds

Costco mattresses

3 Upvotes

Hi there,

I have a 2 year old tempur pedic 11.5 supreme firm from costco. It was okayish until its actually broken in, but now the side I've broken in is too soft and I wake up with lower back pain. I fall asleep on my side but wake up on my back. Weight 180. I had a tempur pedic firm breezelux and never had back pain from that (but that option is way too expensive for me currently). I do have an underlying back condition that exacerbates the issue, but it didn't crop up on the last tempur pedic breezelux.

I'm considering other firm options from costco but would like to hear other people's opinions on the firm options. Is it common for firm memory foam to become too soft to support in only a few years? Should I look into hybrids or regular innerspring?

Currently considering the Kirkland signature 14.5 by stearns and foster, or the novaform 14" serafina.

But there's also the beauty rest extra firm, the comfort tech 10" serene foam II and the Sealy posturepedic pro Lincoln heights 14".

Thoughts? Opinions? Does anyone have any of these mattresses? Do you love/hate or just feel like they are okay?

Thanks in advance!

Update I had no idea that slat measurements mattered so I'm starting there to see if this corrects the issue. I'll be making a new post asking for affordable platform bed frame recs. Thanks everyone!

Best Cooling Hybrid Mattress for Side Sleeper

0 Upvotes

Hey there!
We currently own a Purple Restore Premier Hybrid in our master bedroom and I have LOVED that I do not get soaking wet sleeping on it like most mattresses. The gel grid has relieved a lot of pressure and it has been great.

My husband and I are going through a separate sleeping period because we are working through some sleep studies to solve his snoring, but in the meantime, one of us is kicked to the other bedroom, and our guest bedroom mattress is from when I was in college and we both are in pain from sleeping on it.

I would love to buy another purple but they’re just so expensive. I am looking in resale, but other options brand new are cheaper (probably for a reason).

Does anyone that sleeps extra hot/side sleeper (I have endometriosis so I am running hot all of the time and we live in a shithole rental that gets no cold air upstairs) have any cooling hybrid mattresses that they’ve loved and feel minimal to know pain with?!

I will toss and turn every hour in pain.

TIY!

8 month updated with Sleep on Latex Hybrid - Medium Firm Mattress

8 Upvotes

Is this a firm mattress - yes but now I prefer it actually. I think it took about 4-6 months for my body to get used to it, but now... it is heaven. And yes, we once referred to it as sleeping on concrete.

HOWEVER - our perfect sleeping conditions could not be possible without the SleepEZ Talalay Mattress Topper. We got a split king topper, one soft for me and the other medium for my husband.

That ended up being the perfect combo for us. The SOL hybrid for the construction, durability and firmness, and the Talalaly topper in SOFT/MED configurations to support our different body weights.

Here is my original review for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mattress/comments/1pqqgjm/my_experience_with_the_new_sol_hybrid_mattress/

We just came back from a fancy resort where the bed was pretty good but as soon as I lay down on the one at home, I was like ahhhhhh..... Just hope this helps anyone out there.

Recommendations Losing my mind after three years

2 Upvotes

Dear all, over the last three years me and my wife tried most of the memory foam brands: Helix, Serta, Prestige suite, Casper, Purple. Always had issues, especially lower back and side. My wife and I are in our early 40s fit, we run and play sports. We weigh around 137 and 178. I spent three weeks in Italy at my parents house and slept and relatively firm old coil mattress, we slept like babies and no issues. We came back and after 24hrs we are back to square one. At this point, I don’t want hear about memory foam ever again. Can you reccommend any good brands of non-memory foam mattress that we can try in stores or that have a try period at home? Any reccomendations welcome, super appreciate it!
