Anyone own/enjoy?

2 year into our Expensive Restonic, and it sucks balls.

Hard to imagine a company only making one type of mattress being anything other than a marketing scheme, but if it's a money back guarantee during the trial, it's worth a shot I guess. Just be sure to look for return shipping and/or restocking fees. For reference, Restonic has about 75 different models.

And by the way, you can likely find a mattress you like from just about any company, because they all use the same types of materials and construction methods for the models throughout their lineup. Some just cost more and look nicer than others. If by chance one of them comes up with something revolutionary, the rest will be doing a version of it within 6 months.

They told me a King size Casper was $950....seems pretty low compared to what some nice mattresses go for.

Had no idea the mattress game was so intense. A lot of those online places are owned by big boys. Not that it matters. We ended up on a savvy rest. It's fine. Easy to assemble. Shipped right to the door.

Well, the Casper gets 99% great reviews, and there are thousands. Will check out the leesa.

Open to any, just like the idea of the bed-in-a-box shipped right to my door.

A guy at work casually mentioned that he was financing a new $4k mattress the other day. Yowza.

I'm an IKEA (Sultan Hansbo) simpleton and the mattress racket blows my mind.

Financing a mattress? Yikes. I really like the leesa. Not organic enough for the queen though.

A woodworker I watch religiously (Steve Ramsey on Youtube) is sponsored by Casper and that is really the only person I've heard talk about them, and obviously with them sponsoring him he has nothing but good things to say.

Caspers are okay but they are typically very firm. I've bought online mattresses before and I'm usually disappointed. In store mattresses are not as cheap but you have better support, guarantees, and service.

Does the "M" in your username refer to mattresses?

Are you affiliated with big mattress?

What has led you to buy enough matresses online that you are "usually" disappointed in them? Do you own a motel? (A motel where you personally test every mattress and buy different matresses "one at a time.")

What kind of support and service does one need from a mattress store? Tuft and Needle and Casper offer money back gaurantees and will come pick up the matress from your house if you don't like it. Do mattress stores actually pay you money to take back their mattress above the purchase price?

Are you just a typical idiot matress salesman who uses the same lines on idiot customers who can't think logically and thought you could get away with this crap here?

This is the Paddock. Peddle your schlock somewhere else, Mattress Man.

A few years ago I bought a Simmons ComforPedic and liked it for about a month longer than the return policy. I like a pretty firm mattress and I began feeling like I was sleeping in a hammock. I turned it over and started sleeping on the side not meant for sleeping. I still sleep on the wrong side of the mattress. Much more comfortable to me.

I've never understood the mattress store racket (nor the recent tire store racket either) How often do people really buy mattresses enough to warrant there being 5 stores on every street corner. or so it seems. They locate in clusters. wherever there is a Sleep Outfitters, there is a Mattress Firm and a Mattress and More within eye shot along with a couple of other smaller mattress outfits. I don't see how these people do enough daily business to stay in operation. When you deal in a commodity that people turn over once every 7-8 years if their lucky or follow the retailers advice. Most people keep mattresses way longer than that.

At least 2-3 in every home, some several more. That's a huge market.

Yeah, I have 4 sets in my own home, bought 3 sets of twin mattresses for the kids about 4 years ago. Haven't been in a mattress store since. Not exactly a frequent purchase.

Hmmm, my mattress is too soft and i flip it around on the regular but never upside down, may try. One thing i can say is, as i get older i want a very FIRM mattress, my next one will be.

It doesn't have anything to do with the frequency of mattress purchasing, it has everything to do with how much the consumer is being ripped off. Their margins are huge and they can operate store like this because of that fact.

How much do you guys weigh?

I read on the "sleep like the dead" mattress review site that you can be comfortable on cheaper mattresses if you weigh less than 220. Maybe that's why I am perfectly fine on IKEA and view all others as insanity. (I am ~210lbs)

Obviously you don't understand economics and/or business so...

Mattresses are a 9 B(with a B)illion dollar industry in the states. 40million units sold.

Lexington has over 120k households that we'll say has an low average of 2 beds in it. Without factoring in hotels and such in Metro Lex that is minimum of 250k beds. Replace them at your average of every 5 years. 50k mattresses per year.

These companies spend large sums of money for advertising for a reason and it's not to lose money in dying market. American's have more money to burn right now than the past 8 years. I'd say they're doing just fine.
