looking to buy mattress for new home. so many brands/types. if i already have a bed frame and i want pocketed spring mattress, what brands to consider that is good value?
jus sharing with you my experience of choosing mattress :
a few years back, i bought a slumberland 3 ft mattress. it was near to $1000!!! consider quite ex for a 3 ft mattress. the reason why it was so expensive was because the number of pocketed springs are many.
actually, got cheaper ones, but the number of pocketed springs inside the mattress not so many. its got dustmines resistantance, approx 10 years warranty etc..
but too bad, i was used to sleeeping on queen size and found the new 3 ft mattress i bought quite small. a few flips and i nearly slip down a few times in the nite. its hard alrite, which is good for my aching back, but too hard due the extra support given by the many many many pocketed springs.
previously, my queen size bed is dunoplli (sorry, wrong spelling) but i think u know which brand i referring to. it was not a pocketed spring mattress and hence, not so hard. in the end, i can't get use to it, so eventually i bought a $300 plus cheap skate -not-so hard king koil brand queen size mattress.
morale of the story :
if the mattress you currently using serves u well, when considering buying a new mattress for your new home, try buy back the same brand, same size, and same hardness. then u will hv no regrets.
jus my 2 cents.
