Anyone sell high end mattresses? (Vi-spring or Hastens)
Wife and I are looking at new mattresses. She happened to wander into a higher end store in downtown chicago and now only wants to get one of these mattresses. Wanting to get some honest opinions on them before I drop $5k for a mattress, which I think is ridiculous. But she has let me spent money on car parts she thinks is ridiculous so....ya know how it goes.

If you want to compare high end mattresses, side by side, Go to ABT in Glenview.
There is a lot of fluff in the mattress industry, no pun intended. The name associated with the mattress (i.e. beauty rest, iComfort, sleep master, etc.) is what one usually pays for. Manufactures "rebadge" the same mattress, selling at different prices to different consumers. For example, the Serta mattresses in some hotels are identical to higher end Serta mattresses found in retail showrooms. However, the hotel mattresses don't have the branding that is on the retail showroom... Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't skimp on a mattress. But, a mattress can only be so good for you. Boutique mattresses (Vi-Spring, Hastens, Savoir, etcs) are nice mattresses...but so are Tempurpedic, Selectcomfort, Serta etc. ABT carries some high end, handcrafted, $5K+ mattress brand. They also carry the other brands too. And you can sleep on them for an hour, and no one will bother you (speaking from personal experience). Grab the wife, eat some Pita Inn, and go try some mattresses next weekend. |

a little off topic, but have you considered the bed in the box - ghostbed, casper, purple?
i have a ghost bed (king, $900 shipped) and it has amazing. we feel very little movement when shifting during sleep. i sleep well with no body pains. and the bed advertises that is keeps you cool. so far so good. you can test drive them around 100 days and free shipping back. |

I call bullshit on mattresses, they are the ultimate rip off. Seemingly always on sale and one is hard pressed to tell any difference between a $800 and $6,000 job unless one has severe arthritis or some such ailment.

We started with the Nest Alexander Hybrid, which is a hybrid made from pocket coil springs on the lower half and foam for the top half. It was very high quality and well made, but it was a bit too soft for what my wife preferred. After 3 months we returned it - no hassles, good customer service, they have you donate the mattress to Salvation Army and give you a full refund. We now have the Sapira Hybrid, which is the new luxury hybrid line from Leesa. It's a fair amount more firm for the foam upper, but still a hybrid with the pocket coil springs on the lower half. Again, fantastic quality and it is comparable to several really high end mattresses we tried in stores. We like the hybrid because it gives you the alignment support and contouring with the foam portion, but still has the bounce and response of a spring mattress. $1700 for a King.

We actually just purchased from bed in a box. They have great reviews, 120 night sleep guarantee. Plus if you don't like it, they fully refund you then pick up the bed and donate it to a local shelter

Tempurpedic here. No complaints, except for the price. Actually, pretty much changed my life. Better sleep, wake up fresh with no body aches. I was convinced my last mattress was trying to kill me. After the 3rd night on the Tempurpedic I woke up without back or shoulder pain.
I'm guessing the other memory foam mattresses are the same for the most part. Doing it over I may test drive one of the less expensive brands first.

For what it's worth- It's been over a year now and I still love the sapira mattress, happy with it and prefer my bed over any hotel I've ever stayed at.
