The older we get, the more we seek for the perfect mattress. When we were kids, we could sleep on any hard or soft bed, on the chair, sofa, anywhere! 🤣
I own a bed company. We do both bed in a box as well as have stores. You should be able to find a great mattress that you love for under $1000! For anyone saying in store mattress sales are a scam, just remember it costs a lot to rent a place and stock it and and advertise that you exist. Another thing consumers are unaware of is the amount of waste that comes with a free return policy that lots of internet mattress companies offer. 15-40% return rate means lots of mattresses end up in a landfill. Charities can only accept so many mattresses. Bottom line, find a store that offers 100 night exchange and try them out to find the right one. Most stores are not as bad as they are made out to be.
Researching & buying a new mattress is a full-time job! But it's worth it! If you choose the right mattress, it'll change your life! It certainly did for me!
I too had a Sleep Number Bed after 4 years it developed a low spot on the right side, I went back to the Sleep Number Store and spoke to the salesman. He suggested I increase the air pressure to 100 on the dial in the morning when I leave for work and when I go to sleep adjust it to my sleep number. Well that suggestion did absolutely nothing so I kept the air pressure to 100 for a week same results no change. The companies claim of a 20 year warranty is false it’s a prorated. To fix the problem I would have to pay $250.00 to replace the 2” memory foam pad and if that didn’t solve the problem I would need to replace the top zippered portion of the mattress and that piece was $450.00. The heart of the Sleep Number Bed is the 2” memory foam pad and the entire zippered top piece (section ) of the mattress. Don’t be fooled by the sales pitch of adjustable settings they mean nothing if the mattress quality is junk.
I learned to stay away from pillow top mattresses. They get flat and bunch up over time and prevent flipping the bed over. It's much easier to just buy a separate mattress topper if you want a pillow top.
Good point, they always feel great for 3 months then you end up in a big hole where the topper doesn't rise anymore. I will definitely get a separate topper to be able to replace when I want.
I agree, I have a pillow topper with the extra support for the sides. The fact that the sides don't wear down as fast as the middle of the bed just exaggerates the hole in the middle and then it becomes almost impossible to not fall into it.

I know need a new one for back pain. I need that easy for back sleepers. Hard to describe, but the harder ones hurt my back worst. Thanks for links an info.
A family member got a Stearns & Foster king size bed. I slept in it once. It was heaven, the best sleep I have ever gotten. The mattress & box spring costed them.. $3000.
I am on my third search for a mattress. I spent hours and hours on "research" and I'm still not happy with my Birch. I don't remember what my first bed in a box was but it was all foam and wasn't cheap, had it about three years. The Birch (expensive) doesn't have any chemicals, off gassing, etc. It is so soft the company sent me a topper that would make it better - not. So here I am once again searching for something again, I was almost going to settle on one mattress until I found out it had fiberglass as fire retardant. Good grief!!! Sometimes I want to hook up a hammock on my porch and sleep on that.
I’ve been through 6 mattresses in the last 3 years. I still haven’t found found the Goldilocks mattress. It’s funny, but I can go to a Hilton Hotel and sleep with zero back pain. Then I go home and have nightly pain despite trying different types of mattresses.
Dude seriously. I stopped at first question and I changed my mind I'm kit buying a mattress fir st least another year seriously thank you haha. It was a wake up call you're awesome
Just found out if you get a pillow top it will get body indentations within the first 3 months. Best to get the firmest mattress that still feels comfortable to avoid body indentations.
what no mention on how most reviews are bought and stores make it impossible for you to compare mattress/brands? or how most mattresses are a huge scam?
If you have a bad back like I do avoid memory foam. It lasts 2 1/2 to 3 years and then it gets lumpy and causes severe back pain. I spent $5000 for the top of the line Beauty Rest and had to get rid of it after 3 yr. Got a sleep number to replace it and couldn't be happier. My sleep number is 95. My back is very sensitive. And it won't degrade like a regular mattress over time. If your back changes you just change the firmness. Bonus, get the cheapest model to avoid the memory foam they add to higher priced models.
I’ve had a sleep number bed for about 15 years. Unfortunately they don’t last to well and the warranty is not that great. The foam around the sides disintegrates quickly, have had to replace the the air chamber about 4 times. They either go flat or develop a big bubble. All in all I would rather go back to a traditional spring mattress. Another downside I have had is you have to constantly adjust the air pressure as when it gets cold or hot outside the mattress will lose air pressure or gain air pressure. Maybe a 10 degree temperature swing in the house but it really seems to affect the bed. Mine is an older model from 2006 or so so maybe some of these issues have been resolved. The only positive I can say is that they don’t seem to sag but the top that covers the air chamber is pretty worn out.
It was impossible for me to find a comfortable mattress. On a whim, I took the mattress off the box springs, laid a foam pad and a mattress topper on the box springs, and discovered the most comfortable sleep ever. So good it's unbelievable. No more mattress for me. Try it you may like it.
I think my parents brought 1 mattress in their lifetime. Ones when they had their first own bedroom. ( they were sleeping on a pull out couch for atleast 14 years) then brought their first full bedroom suite, bed, mattresses, dresser and bedsides. That was around 1966/67. They had this till 2008 , when mum past away. They never complained being uncomfortable. I suppose it was that German beds were actually 2 single beds joint. So there was never partner disturbance. Were I am on my 4th and got a no partner disturbing mattress now , and absolutely ❤ it.
@@1_viewer that's because products made in the olden days were designed to last a lifetime, unlike now were things are made specifically to break in a short timespan so you go back and buy another one. Worried about it breaking? Buy insurance. Worried it won't last long? Buy a an extended warranty. They sell you the illusion of 'customer first' but they'll suck your money before then.
We have the nectar premier it’s been about 100 days. Sleeps hot with the mattress protector but ok without it. Mattress is medium soft I would say ( I had slept on a 3” memory foam pad for a couple years and it’s definitely not as soft as that. It’s a good mattress overall.
Kingsdown mattress 10,000 series red firm with microcoils cost me $4700. We have had it 30 days. It has a hump that waterfalls to the sides by 1.5 inch. When you sit on it it sinks 3 to 4 inches. Due to the 1.5 inch waterfall the hips are higher than the legs and head and it forces an arch in the back while sleeping. The body slides towards the heads board as well as to the sides of the mattress due to this muffin waterfall. When I called, the company told me this was a standard engineered design. Buyer beware
Haha my wife and I are thinking of upgrading to a king from our queen (we got more dogs) and sticking with Kingsdown because of how much we love ours. I guess it’s hit or miss? Had the queen size 12 years.
How can anyone buy a mattress online without laying on it (them) in a store? I must be old school. Certain things don't compute without brick & mortar ...
Literally buying a car or home is easier than picking a mattress for me 😂 because brands dont remotely last like they used to or claim to now with quality not coming close to the high price points especially for all these social media online only brands lol!
I was able to finance a nectar mattress through QVC for about 112 a month for about five payments the nectar mattress is wonderful I love it so much it’s extremely comfortable.
Most even Great mattresses, usually sinks in the middle after few years & usually warranty is a JOKE ..i usually buys kinda cheaper mattress & change it every few years to new one , all of them Looks & feel great from the beginning they brand new , this is B.S
you know, i think that reclineable matress are much more comfort to sleep than a flat one, my parents in their room they have a king reclinable matress, and they have a roof fan, man i put the air conditioner on high, and the roof fan on high, i really have an incredible sleep, cause cold gives sleepiness, its the best thing a comftable reclinable sleep with a roof fan and cold
The adjustable base is a key part of a good bed, not just the mattress you put on it. Make sure it has the features and benefits you need for your health and sleep needs.
This is right on time. Shopping for a new mattress right now, but I did notice that it looks like you've tested mainly online brands? What about the traditional brands? The review seems very bias.
Most companies who deliver a new mattress will haul away your old one. Ask your garbage/recycling company if they offer a bulky item collection. San Francisco, for example, gives residents 2 bulky item pickups per year at no cost and we can select up to 10 large items per pickup. If that’s not an option, check with donation companies such as Goodwill or Salvation Army. Chances are if they won’t, they know someone who will.
my parents bought a mattress a fee weeks ago and dropped like 3k on it. their first night w it they hated it, literally hated it. the the place said no returns. Never making that mistake. research research
Probably because they got used to their old worn out mattress being shaped to their bodies and having the perfect soft give. My new mattress didn’t feel as comfortable but I’ve notices I’ve been sleeping better and lower back pain instantly improved.
I financed a Nectar mattress through Affirm and paid about 125$ a month for the mattress, headboard and frame, 2 premium pillows, pillow cases, mattress protector, and premium sheets. I am very satisfied with everything they sent me. My only complaint is the elastic sheet cover did not fit the mattress, and the return process is a pain. Other than that, I would recommend everything about Nectar mattress.
@@qnzboy223 no I only wanted to return the sheet cover that didn't fit. They requested several photos of the sheet on and off the bed to show it didn't fit? Idk it was too much trouble to return. Everything else was fine.
We're replacing our old memory foam with a new one from Nectar. Bought on Presidents Day. 20% Cash Back from Rakuten! Should be delivered today or tomorrow.
9:17 that could be reduced to less than 10 seconds "trial and error". The returns policy on a mattress is of little use as that leaves the purchaser back where they started or even worse no mattress at all. Will any companies supply 2, 3 or more mattresses to try before you buy?
Any recommendations for scoliosis , back upper mid section pain ? Joint pain .. what should go for I like organic and natural matters and I’m a hot sleeper
I got a good deal in a mattress and adjustable bed frame during a 4th July sale. The mattress was $2500 and I paid $1200 and it came with a free adjustable bed frame 🥰🥰🥰. Nebraska furniture Mart. I took advantage on that opportunity for a name brand mattress
Help me, I have a memory foam mattress I got at Costco many years ago. When it's very cold, like on a winter day (we do not use heating in the bedrooms) the sensation is fantastic. The body sinks in just a little and it stays well "defined" and I find that wonderful. However when body heat it spreads in the mattress is loses the definition and gets very average. What kind of mattress stays like that also when it's warm?
The only way around it is to spend THOUSANDS on a mattress with no foam or latex in it whatsoever. We have a different alternative, it allows you to add up to 4" of support anywhere you need it on your current mattress!
Mattress shopping is a nightmare. Purple Hybrid 3 is one of the best cooling mattresses. I actually felt cold throughout the night. However, after 2 weeks, the firm grid reintroduced lower back pain and sciatica back into my life (herniated disc from years ago). My shoulders and upper back were always sore. I felt like I was run over by a car every morning. Returned it and got a Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt in soft. It is very firm compared to the store, but it helped with my lower back pain. However, it will most likely be returned because it feels like I'm sleeping in an oven. It's been 3 weeks since the first purchase, and I haven't sleep good for one night since. I hate this experience.
@@Laura-Yu I still have the LuxeAdapt so far. Before this, I had a Purple Hybrid 3 that had to be returned because it was killing my back... but it was the best cooling mattress I ever slept on.
@@pshhyeahh Have you changed your mattress yet? I also have a herniated disc so I feel you on mattress shopping fr fr It’s my first time shopping for a mattress so I could use all the help I could get
@@yousefnajjar4209 If you don't sleep hot, I think the LuxeAdapt soft will help your back quite a bit. It takes a while to break in, but it traps heat almost instantly. I kept it for 3 months and although the heat aspect got a little better, I ended up returning for a LuxeBreeze soft. It is not as soft as the LuxeAdapt but I sleep better since I don't wake up at night feeling hot on it. Another thing I noticed was the LuxeAdapt sinks you in quite a lot. It was hard to get up from that bed. You don't sink in as much in the breeze model so it's much easier changing sides or getting up. I think both beds are great for side sleeping, and I'm happy with the LuxeBreeze.
My mattress is 10 years old I loved it, but it's really starting to degrade, i wake up in pain and have alotnof trouble finding a comfortable position. But I really love the bounce and fluff of it. Sadly, it's a discontinued model 😭
Hands down wool is the way to go guys. I highly recommend purchasing a natural wool mattress as it does wonders for your back and general health. My allergies are gone and my neck is much much better... it's been only 2 months since I've been sleeping on wool and the my quality of life has improved drastically for the better
A few very important questions to ask you. Those heat map pad things people lay on to show those colors where pressure points and pain is. How accurate are they in percentages? Should you only have blues and green colors? Can a mattress place put them on any bed they sell? I've heard opinions on which beds keep you cool, but peoples experience and regret for these supposed cooling beds leaves a lot of mumbo jumbo. so please help me make sense of it all. I do tend to sleep warm to hot, why it matters to me. With the 100 day trial etc what if you move during the period will they accept it back from wherever you live at that time? I'm moving in October but yet the air mattress I'm on I'm hating because I'm twisting and turning and losing sleep over it. Like everything else lately things don't seem to wait til it's the right time to fail. Case and point my window AC last Aug in bedroom. or one in living room this May. My old bed I already gave away. My air mattress is bumpy not flat, and is never same thickness. So I must buy a new bed in August not in October after I move. If I buy from a local place how do I get them to give free delivery or I'll buy online after I leave here. What I dislike about local places is that with last bed they charge you $100 to deliver, because they play the you're not within 10 miles game. I dispise.
Hi, if you sleep hot, get latex. It's cool and only holds you body temp. In other words in winter the spot you sleep on will be warm but not hot. Natural latex lasts forever. I trialed one (in Australia but it was too hard and they took it back. Had a 120 day trial. I trialed a secon one and it was great! But I figured I could make my own and returned it. Bought some latex layers in different densities and put them over a box spring mattress and it's really comfortable and I have chronic pain, so if you don't have pain it shouldn't be a problem. There's a tutorial on here on how to make your own bed and they sell all the components. That's where I got the idea. Good luck. Oh from a brick and mortar store they never give you a trial period, once you buy it, it's yours. We have a company in Australia that let's you trial the bed 365 days!
Do you have any referrals regarding obtaining a good hotel style for mattress? The two separate occasions I slept in hotels by Disneyland I had the greatest nights sleep in my entire life! I nearly 70 years old and I’m about 30 pounds overweight I’ve had two hip replacements at a slipped disc in my lower back in 2017 and was hospitalized because of it, plus I work on my feet all the time today, which I love doing but the bottom line is I have a horrible 10-year-old Serta mattress and I have to put blankets and or pillows under my spine in order to sleep every night I am so miserable and need a new mattress so bad and everywhere I go to look for them they’re too soft and they’re just depressing! Please, please do you have any suggestions for a firm, Hotel style firm mattress that I will not have to mortgage the house to get?!
They are probably hybrid like mattress. They have coils and thick memory foam top to them. Go check out a mattress store and check out beautyrest mattresses. it will probably feel like the hotel mattress. They cost a lot
Nice commercial for online mattress companies. But that's all this was. Best mattress? Where was Beauty rest, Serta and Sealy? They all been around 100 years. But all the ones in this ad was companies that has only been around avg 5 -8 years. You saying after decades of product development and innovation. These new guys do it better than the old dogs on block? LOL They offer lifetime warranty while been in business since 2016 This is nothing but a marketing ad. No real info on getting a quality mattress. Want a free one of these? Buy one. Then tell them you don't like it. They will say "donate it and we give refund" they don't want them back. Because they be trash in a box.
If I find a mattress thats soft enough for my shoulders, it's too soft for my hips, and vice versa. No more pillow tops! In six months I get pits where my body weight hits. The whole mattress industry is a giant scam. Best thing is a DIY mattress or doing mattress surgery on an existing one. Now I'm on the quest for a better support. The box spring I was sold is a piece of rubbish. I need to buy a platform. The logistics of that -- needing help to take apart the old frame when bed companies won't give you a firm delivery date -- is a nightmare.
I am 26 years old. 215 lbs and I have gone through so many mattresses due to my lower back aching and mattress always sinking after few month. I have a hard time choosing. Anyone know any good mattress that will last me a few years?
Me: move to my new place ...I check the mattress when I walked in. Within an hour I was on the phone with a furniture school buying a new mattress. 😂.. it's being delivered Thursday.. I refuse to struggle while I sleep .. I suffered way too much..
shouldent talk about the brands of matress , you should have talked about this the make materials used - Natural Latex , Euro Top, Hybrid Latex ,Pocket Spring Bonnell spring, standerd foam , Memory fome, Colling Gel Form ,
Save yourself the head ache and get a Simmons beauty rest. No other mattress compares. Hotels use Simmons especially the high end ones. Check the bed at four seasons. It’s a Simmons. Simmons was founded in 1870 all these companies are decades behind and definitely do not make beds as good as Simmons. You gonna trust a new company or Simmons whose been making beds for over 150 years?
I've had the same floatation mattress for almost 40 years. NOTHING is as comfortable, adjustable, or as good a value... In fact, everyone who has slept on it wants one, & many have actually switched. And yet, it was ignored completely in this 'report'.
you never mentioned the safety of materials. My main concern is choosing a mattress that doesn't have fiber glass, VOCs, or any heavy metals or chemicals that might be harmful.
One of the most important things to figure out before shelling out on a top tier mattress is whether or not that’s actually the answer to your sleep problems. I’ve been struggling with sleep for years and thought that a Purple mattress would finally be the answer to getting a good nights sleep. A couple thousand dollars and a few years later, it’s just a mattress that doesn’t improve my sleep at all. Sometimes your sleep issues are due to medical problems, not your mattress. Personally, it doesn’t seem to matter what I sleep on because my body struggles with sleep at the neurological level. It may sound a little ridiculous, but talk with your doctor before buying a mattress!
@@ahmedjawed7519 No but at least I get to collect disability for it. My issue is that my REM sleep is too short and too shallow. For every 8 hours of sleep I get about 2 hours of genuine rest, but it’s broken up into very short seconds-long periods that don’t lead to a productive rested state. It’s one of those things that medical science hasn’t figured out yet apparently.

I ordered the original pillow and it was awful.. the ads look so good on it but the material doesn’t feel the way you would think. I have laid on all the purple mattress but have not slept on them. I would not recommend though..

They sell you the illusion of 'customer first' but they'll suck your money before then.
We have the nectar premier it’s been about 100 days. Sleeps hot with the mattress protector but ok without it. Mattress is medium soft I would say ( I had slept on a 3” memory foam pad for a couple years and it’s definitely not as soft as that. It’s a good mattress overall.
0:18 third of life? rookie numbers. i sleep at least half and spend another third just laying down
Kingsdown mattress 10,000 series red firm with microcoils cost me $4700. We have had it 30 days. It has a hump that waterfalls to the sides by 1.5 inch. When you sit on it it sinks 3 to 4 inches. Due to the 1.5 inch waterfall the hips are higher than the legs and head and it forces an arch in the back while sleeping. The body slides towards the heads board as well as to the sides of the mattress due to this muffin waterfall. When I called, the company told me this was a standard engineered design. Buyer beware
$4700 buyer should beware already.
Send it back.
Haha my wife and I are thinking of upgrading to a king from our queen (we got more dogs) and sticking with Kingsdown because of how much we love ours. I guess it’s hit or miss? Had the queen size 12 years.
How can anyone buy a mattress online without laying on it (them) in a store? I must be old school. Certain things don't compute without brick & mortar ...
Lol, because so many of us are so broke it doesn't matter what the bed feels like. We buy what we can afford.
There are mattresses you can order online.
Literally buying a car or home is easier than picking a mattress for me 😂 because brands dont remotely last like they used to or claim to now with quality not coming close to the high price points especially for all these social media online only brands lol!
This crossover is what we didn't know we needed!
I was able to finance a nectar mattress through QVC for about 112 a month for about five payments the nectar mattress is wonderful I love it so much it’s extremely comfortable.
What size?
@@TheGeorgeee13 single I guess
Most even Great mattresses, usually sinks in the middle after few years & usually warranty is a JOKE ..i usually buys kinda cheaper mattress & change it every few years to new one , all of them Looks & feel great from the beginning they brand new , this is B.S
I'm still using my matress most of the springs have fell out because I'm too cheap to buy a new one.
I'm appreciating the new CNET videos way more than the old ones with the old presenters.
Ageism?
@@TristenHernandez I wasn't refering to their age but I guess the english language is a little too difficult for some people.
@@adilator well it’s not only Americans watching these videos
@@adilator Fair enough maybe it was just your chosen verbiage. 🙃👍🏾
you know, i think that reclineable matress are much more comfort to sleep than a flat one, my parents in their room they have a king reclinable matress, and they have a roof fan, man i put the air conditioner on high, and the roof fan on high, i really have an incredible sleep, cause cold gives sleepiness, its the best thing a comftable reclinable sleep with a roof fan and cold
The adjustable base is a key part of a good bed, not just the mattress you put on it. Make sure it has the features and benefits you need for your health and sleep needs.
This is right on time. Shopping for a new mattress right now, but I did notice that it looks like you've tested mainly online brands? What about the traditional brands? The review seems very bias.
But it's not a review.
Because they get a commission from the online beds.
Great info, thanks so much. What about your old mattress? Do they pick it up? Do you have to get rid of it? One of the top questions for me.
Same, I am now looking for a new mattress, and I need to worry about my old mattress at the same time.
Most companies who deliver a new mattress will haul away your old one.
Ask your garbage/recycling company if they offer a bulky item collection. San Francisco, for example, gives residents 2 bulky item pickups per year at no cost and we can select up to 10 large items per pickup.
If that’s not an option, check with donation companies such as Goodwill or Salvation Army. Chances are if they won’t, they know someone who will.
Budget is the first thing one should consider, not the last one.
What about the most popular brands like Sealy, Simmons,….
my parents bought a mattress a fee weeks ago and dropped like 3k on it. their first night w it they hated it, literally hated it. the the place said no returns. Never making that mistake. research research
Probably because they got used to their old worn out mattress being shaped to their bodies and having the perfect soft give. My new mattress didn’t feel as comfortable but I’ve notices I’ve been sleeping better and lower back pain instantly improved.
That's insane
I financed a Nectar mattress through Affirm and paid about 125$ a month for the mattress, headboard and frame, 2 premium pillows, pillow cases, mattress protector, and premium sheets. I am very satisfied with everything they sent me. My only complaint is the elastic sheet cover did not fit the mattress, and the return process is a pain. Other than that, I would recommend everything about Nectar mattress.
Guerrilla marketing, huh?
@@jonathanhains814 yes?
Return process ? Did you not like it and make a return ? I saw it says free returns with Canada. No info of return trail from USA
@@qnzboy223 no I only wanted to return the sheet cover that didn't fit. They requested several photos of the sheet on and off the bed to show it didn't fit? Idk it was too much trouble to return. Everything else was fine.
We're replacing our old memory foam with a new one from Nectar. Bought on Presidents Day. 20% Cash Back from Rakuten!
Should be delivered today or tomorrow.
How is it? I’m considering buying one right now.
@@altar_girl we love the way it sleeps. I would recommend it to anyone considering a memory foam.
9:17 that could be reduced to less than 10 seconds "trial and error". The returns policy on a mattress is of little use as that leaves the purchaser back where they started or even worse no mattress at all. Will any companies supply 2, 3 or more mattresses to try before you buy?
Any recommendations for scoliosis , back upper mid section pain ? Joint pain .. what should go for I like organic and natural matters and I’m a hot sleeper
Did he say 7-10 years… I’ve had mine for about twice that…
I got a good deal in a mattress and adjustable bed frame during a 4th July sale. The mattress was $2500 and I paid $1200 and it came with a free adjustable bed frame 🥰🥰🥰. Nebraska furniture Mart. I took advantage on that opportunity for a name brand mattress
Say thanks to Warren Buffet.
What kind of mattress did you get?
Help me, I have a memory foam mattress I got at Costco many years ago. When it's very cold, like on a winter day (we do not use heating in the bedrooms) the sensation is fantastic. The body sinks in just a little and it stays well "defined" and I find that wonderful. However when body heat it spreads in the mattress is loses the definition and gets very average. What kind of mattress stays like that also when it's warm?
The only way around it is to spend THOUSANDS on a mattress with no foam or latex in it whatsoever. We have a different alternative, it allows you to add up to 4" of support anywhere you need it on your current mattress!
Mattress shopping is a nightmare. Purple Hybrid 3 is one of the best cooling mattresses. I actually felt cold throughout the night. However, after 2 weeks, the firm grid reintroduced lower back pain and sciatica back into my life (herniated disc from years ago). My shoulders and upper back were always sore. I felt like I was run over by a car every morning. Returned it and got a Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt in soft. It is very firm compared to the store, but it helped with my lower back pain. However, it will most likely be returned because it feels like I'm sleeping in an oven. It's been 3 weeks since the first purchase, and I haven't sleep good for one night since. I hate this experience.
Damn, I considered both of those mattresses. Did you happen to find the right mattress for you?
@@Laura-Yu I still have the LuxeAdapt so far. Before this, I had a Purple Hybrid 3 that had to be returned because it was killing my back... but it was the best cooling mattress I ever slept on.
@@pshhyeahh Have you changed your mattress yet? I also have a herniated disc so I feel you on mattress shopping fr fr
It’s my first time shopping for a mattress so I could use all the help I could get
@@yousefnajjar4209 If you don't sleep hot, I think the LuxeAdapt soft will help your back quite a bit. It takes a while to break in, but it traps heat almost instantly. I kept it for 3 months and although the heat aspect got a little better, I ended up returning for a LuxeBreeze soft. It is not as soft as the LuxeAdapt but I sleep better since I don't wake up at night feeling hot on it. Another thing I noticed was the LuxeAdapt sinks you in quite a lot. It was hard to get up from that bed. You don't sink in as much in the breeze model so it's much easier changing sides or getting up. I think both beds are great for side sleeping, and I'm happy with the LuxeBreeze.
My mattress is 10 years old
I loved it, but it's really starting to degrade, i wake up in pain and have alotnof trouble finding a comfortable position.
But I really love the bounce and fluff of it. Sadly, it's a discontinued model 😭
Hands down wool is the way to go guys. I highly recommend purchasing a natural wool mattress as it does wonders for your back and general health. My allergies are gone and my neck is much much better... it's been only 2 months since I've been sleeping on wool and the my quality of life has improved drastically for the better
any recommendation of the best brands for mattress
A few very important questions to ask you.
Those heat map pad things people lay on to show those colors where pressure points and pain is. How accurate are they in percentages?
Should you only have blues and green colors?
Can a mattress place put them on any bed they sell?
I've heard opinions on which beds keep you cool, but peoples experience and regret for these supposed cooling beds leaves a lot of mumbo jumbo.
so please help me make sense of it all.
I do tend to sleep warm to hot, why it matters to me.
With the 100 day trial etc what if you move during the period will they accept it back from wherever you live at that time?
I'm moving in October but yet the air mattress I'm on I'm hating because I'm twisting and turning and losing sleep over it.
Like everything else lately things don't seem to wait til it's the right time to fail.
Case and point my window AC last Aug in bedroom. or one in living room this May.
My old bed I already gave away. My air mattress is bumpy not flat, and is never same thickness.
So I must buy a new bed in August not in October after I move.
If I buy from a local place how do I get them to give free delivery or I'll buy online after I leave here. What I dislike about local places is that with last bed they charge you $100
to deliver, because they play the you're not within 10 miles game. I dispise.
Hi, if you sleep hot, get latex. It's cool and only holds you body temp. In other words in winter the spot you sleep on will be warm but not hot. Natural latex lasts forever. I trialed one (in Australia but it was too hard and they took it back. Had a 120 day trial. I trialed a secon one and it was great! But I figured I could make my own and returned it. Bought some latex layers in different densities and put them over a box spring mattress and it's really comfortable and I have chronic pain, so if you don't have pain it shouldn't be a problem. There's a tutorial on here on how to make your own bed and they sell all the components. That's where I got the idea. Good luck. Oh from a brick and mortar store they never give you a trial period, once you buy it, it's yours. We have a company in Australia that let's you trial the bed 365 days!
Do you have any referrals regarding obtaining a good hotel style for mattress? The two separate occasions I slept in hotels by Disneyland I had the greatest nights sleep in my entire life! I nearly 70 years old and I’m about 30 pounds overweight I’ve had two hip replacements at a slipped disc in my lower back in 2017 and was hospitalized because of it, plus I work on my feet all the time today, which I love doing but the bottom line is I have a horrible 10-year-old Serta mattress and I have to put blankets and or pillows under my spine in order to sleep every night I am so miserable and need a new mattress so bad and everywhere I go to look for them they’re too soft and they’re just depressing! Please, please do you have any suggestions for a firm, Hotel style firm mattress that I will not have to mortgage the house to get?!
They are probably hybrid like mattress. They have coils and thick memory foam top to them. Go check out a mattress store and check out beautyrest mattresses. it will probably feel like the hotel mattress. They cost a lot
Nice commercial for online mattress companies. But that's all this was. Best mattress? Where was Beauty rest, Serta and Sealy? They all been around 100 years. But all the ones in this ad was companies that has only been around avg 5 -8 years. You saying after decades of product development and innovation. These new guys do it better than the old dogs on block? LOL They offer lifetime warranty while been in business since 2016 This is nothing but a marketing ad. No real info on getting a quality mattress. Want a free one of these? Buy one. Then tell them you don't like it. They will say "donate it and we give refund" they don't want them back. Because they be trash in a box.
Thank you CNET for all this right useful information
Why would one like firmness though? Interesting.
Why no mention of coils in the bed,
If I find a mattress thats soft enough for my shoulders, it's too soft for my hips, and vice versa. No more pillow tops! In six months I get pits where my body weight hits. The whole mattress industry is a giant scam. Best thing is a DIY mattress or doing mattress surgery on an existing one. Now I'm on the quest for a better support. The box spring I was sold is a piece of rubbish. I need to buy a platform. The logistics of that -- needing help to take apart the old frame when bed companies won't give you a firm delivery date -- is a nightmare.
I am 26 years old. 215 lbs and I have gone through so many mattresses due to my lower back aching and mattress always sinking after few month. I have a hard time choosing. Anyone know any good mattress that will last me a few years?
I'm looking for a super firm mattress
try coirfit mattress
The video effect on 3:38 scared me.
Me: move to my new place ...I check the mattress when I walked in. Within an hour I was on the phone with a furniture school buying a new mattress. 😂.. it's being delivered Thursday.. I refuse to struggle while I sleep .. I suffered way too much..
Thoughts on cariloha mattresses?
All the mattresses under the resident umbrella (dream cloud, awara, nectar) should be avoided like the plague. Cheaply made Chinese crap.
What about adjustable air mattress like sleep number. Are they worth it?
No
They’re junk read my review
Bought a Nectar. Returned it as soon as the 30 day wait period ended. No more bed in a box for me!
I was thinking about getting a nectar. Can I ask why you returned it? Are you a back sleeper, side, etc.?
@@MixingGBP I tried Nectar at a store. It sucked! Tempurpedic LuxeAdapt way better!
Mentioned everything but the height. The only crucial element of s matress
Learned a lot! Thank you!
This is very useful and everyone should see this
Thanks dude!
shouldent talk about the brands of matress , you should have talked about this the make materials used
- Natural Latex , Euro Top, Hybrid Latex ,Pocket Spring Bonnell spring, standerd foam , Memory fome, Colling Gel Form ,
cant expect a real report out of a monopoly owned news station
Growing up is crazy
Save yourself the head ache and get a Simmons beauty rest.
No other mattress compares. Hotels use Simmons especially the high end ones. Check the bed at four seasons. It’s a Simmons. Simmons was founded in 1870 all these companies are decades behind and definitely do not make beds as good as Simmons. You gonna trust a new company or Simmons whose been making beds for over 150 years?
Why is it better? Have you compared it to the other brands in person?
I just bought a beauty rest, felt great in the store should come this week
I've had the same floatation mattress for almost 40 years. NOTHING is as comfortable, adjustable, or as good a value... In fact, everyone who has slept on it wants one, & many have actually switched. And yet, it was ignored completely in this 'report'.
Floatation mattress, what brand, model, etc.?
Can you share with us what kind of flotation mattress you have and like? Thanks

WHY, CNET?!
@@VEGANSAM Are you on Facebook?
@@Nezello I actively avoid ANYTHING associated with thieves, liars, & those with ZERO integrity...like Zuck.

Shoulda watched this 10 months ago before i wasted over 2,000$ on scams. Got a Japanese futon mattress instead.
I need a king size. Hybrid. Plush.
One of the most important things to figure out before shelling out on a top tier mattress is whether or not that’s actually the answer to your sleep problems.
I’ve been struggling with sleep for years and thought that a Purple mattress would finally be the answer to getting a good nights sleep. A couple thousand dollars and a few years later, it’s just a mattress that doesn’t improve my sleep at all.
Sometimes your sleep issues are due to medical problems, not your mattress. Personally, it doesn’t seem to matter what I sleep on because my body struggles with sleep at the neurological level. It may sound a little ridiculous, but talk with your doctor before buying a mattress!
I am in the same boat. Have you found a solution?
@@ahmedjawed7519 No but at least I get to collect disability for it. My issue is that my REM sleep is too short and too shallow. For every 8 hours of sleep I get about 2 hours of genuine rest, but it’s broken up into very short seconds-long periods that don’t lead to a productive rested state. It’s one of those things that medical science hasn’t figured out yet apparently.
@@richard1493 Do you use a machine to help you breath? I forget the name of it.
@@poppylove3673CPAP machine, for obstructive sleep apnea. Unfortunately I have centralized apnea, not obstructive. It’s not hard for me to breathe at night, my reptile brain just forgets to!
My mother has the obstructive kind and finds that the CPAP only reduces her snoring and doesn’t really improve quality of sleep.
Try Sleepovation
Very helpful
I’m thinking about getting a Purple 4. Any thoughts 💭 on this?
I ordered the original pillow and it was awful.. the ads look so good on it but the material doesn’t feel the way you would think. I have laid on all the purple mattress but have not slept on them. I would not recommend though..
I tried it. Didnt like it and returned it. Im heavy though. 5 11 and 220 pounds. Im looking into Sleepovation. You still might like Purple. I didnt.
Shop a sleep number, best mattress on the market and will last for decades.
My brand new mattress only sinks down on my butt. Is that good or bad?
As long as your back is straight, it's not a bad thing! Once you start to loose spinal alignment it leads to back pain amongst other issues!
wouldn't it be nice to see an ad where a person could get an honest opinion without someone tying to sell you something !
The way you edited the thumbnail, it looks like the mattress is that dudes head 🤣

stay away from mattress firm they're expensive mattresses and their cheap mattresses are all the same they are more than willing to trade it in more than willing to take it back to sell you a new one but they are all the same junk
Get work for mattress company
How much are you getting paid
Whatever you do. Do not buy foam.
Nice video 👍
Thank you
My mattress costs like 30 bucks😭🤣
