| bobby1digital's Full Review: Simmons Beautyrest Mattress |
I went to litterally every single mattress store located in Colorado Springs. I layed on all the beds they had to offer. I came to this website and read all of the negative reviews of this mattress, and I have come to a very solid conclution: THIS IS A WONDERFUL MATTRESS
Ever since the first time I layed on the mattress it just felt right to me. Buying a mattress is all about personal preference, and this bed was the one that felt best two me. My particular mattress has a terry cloth top which is really what makes this bed special. It is extra flexible so it can contour to your body easier.
I ended up paying $1080 (total with tax) for a king size Beautyrest Eurotop Plush with low profile box springs. YOU NEED LOW PROFILE BOX SPRINGS. In case you didn't know, a standard simmons box spring is 9 inches, the lo-pros are 4.5 inches. When you have such a fat mattress you need skinny box springs, or you will find yourself jumping up into bed.
Remember that every store you buy from will say this mattress is on sale. They will try to pressure you into buying that day by telling you a sale will end. DO NOT LISTEN, when the sale ends another one will begin. Also it is difficult to cross-shop the brands. Every company has their own SLIGHTLY different version of the same bed. Chances are you will not be able to tell a difference. The mattress industry is REALLY SHADY, so be careful and make sure you recieve a NEW product, not returned or 2nd hand. Do yourself a favor and buy from a more reputable company is my advice.
Also, the first 2 nights on my new bed I had a bad back ache. This was not what I expected, but then did some reading. Apperantly your back needs a bit to adjust to the different support. So just know that can happen, don't return the bed right away. After I made the adjustment, it was PURE BLISS.
Some other specs: My mattress has 1080 springs. The springs are roughly the size of a dollar bill when compressed. The more springs the better because it helps dispense your weight more evenly. Generally mattresses with more springs cost more money, 1080 is a lot for a king size bed. Beware of anything in the 800's.
The mattress height is 15 inches. It is my experience that 15 inches is about the maximum height that you can accomodate with oversized sheets.
Word to the wise, this bed weighs well over 200lbs. Have it delivered so you don't break your back. Always double check the bed for any shipping problems. The first bed they sent me had a one inch scrape on the corner from being drugg. The company was cool and promptly swapped it out.
So in closing, DON'T LISTEN TO ALL OF THE NEGATIVE ADDS. If you like the bed, then it is right for you. I LOVE THIS BED, and EVERY one of my friends who has seen it would agree. THIS BED IS SWEET. A+
