Simmons BackCare Mattress

Pros: Simmons does make high quality products - just not this particular model/line.
Cons: Never had a back ache/other aches UNTIL this mattress! That says it all.

Bought this almost 5 years ago in Chicago from a major department store with a special furniture division/stores because I had been sleeping on an agonzing futon in a studio apartment. Once I got my "real" one-bedroom apartment, I did all my ...

Pros: get it if your goal is to ruin your life
Cons: Extreme pain, sags in the middle, useless

This bed has f****d up my back more than I can explain. I spent a lot of time looking at beds and this one seemed very soft in the 15 minutes i laid on it and the salesman assured me of its quality. For the price ($1450) I assumed that equaled ...

Pros: The mattress was great for a short term, providing medium-firm support for two sleepers.

We bought a Simmons Back-Care mattress and boxspring set 5 years ago, and loved the way it felt. Not too hard, not too soft, just right. But just five years later, it's unbearable to sleep on. It sags in the center of the bed, so that my wife and I ...

We bought this mattress nine years ago because I have always believed in firm mattresses. At the mattress discounter, we were given a break for buying two mattresses, so we paid only $150 for this one, which seemed surprisingly low. It has been slept ...

Cons: Sore back everyday, impressions in the mattress, very deep ones

Cons: falling into the a giant hole every night after 1 year!

Pros: Initially very comfortable - went away quickly!
Cons: Break down of pillow-top and spring/coils - BACK ACHES!!!

Hardly a surprise, considering what we have experienced. I'm glad I came to e-pinions, because many reviewers have iterated the experience that we too, have had. I am amazed that this mattress feels completely unusable to us after only three years of ...

Pros: Like Sleeping on a cloud
Cons: Very expensive compared to most mattresses on the market today.

Our new bed is now about a year old and so far this bed is like sleeping on a cloud. The plush top is just wonderful. I have never been able to sleep on my back until we bought this mattress. I don't toss and turn like I used to on other mattresses ...

Pros: Very comfortable in the first year to year and a half.
Cons: Breaks down surprisingly fast and ends up being very painful to sleep on.
