The biggest disappointment during the search of the local bedding stores was the one I thought would be the hand in the glove. Sleep Number Bed. They certainly do have a great following and their customers are faithful. I met one as we were entering and one as we were leaving who were replacing their Old Sleep Number Bed's. The Prices were not just High they were absolutely out of touch and absolutely INSANE. Eight or Nine Grand for a Bed??? I like nice stuff to but come on.

If the Tuft & Needle doesn't work out directly for the Middle Model of The Temperpedic. I think it was around $4000. Our heads are spinning. This Deal Is Just Too Good To Be True. We'll see, I can't wait! Better than Christmas Morning!

Anyone ever try or have a Purple mattress? I was looking at reviews and feedback and this MAY be another (like we need another ...) option.

Everyone says they sleep very cool (unlike a tempur-pedic which we have found to be too warm even in ALASKA!!).

What do you do with the old mattress if you order one on-line?

I don't even remember what we've got, but it's comfortable. It was not insanely expensive either. In my opinion, the only way to buy a mattress is to go try them out. We went to local stores and lay on mattresses until we found one that felt right for us both. I always feel silly doing that, but it's the best way!

We are pretty much novices at mattresses, but have learned lesson about overall mattress heights when combined with box spring and bed frame rails. Never gave overall height the thought we should have... big mistake as the plusher, pillow top mattresses can be quite thick. Having a shorter wife, I've learned some lessons Last purchase went with low profile box spring and removed the castor/wheels from the bed frame to achieve a comfortable access height for her. Also noticed between our two houses, the edge firmness on the mattress in Florida is "stiffer" which make rolling out of bed easier than the mattress in Indiana that sort of sinks on the edge on exit.

I, too, wonder about the disposal question. Looking forward to comments.

The trash people will take it, but you are supposed to call for scheduling.

Because of mattress weight and versatility, you might want to consider purchasing two twins instead of a king. Position the twins side-by-side, use fitted twin sheets for the bottom, and king/queen blankets and cover sheets for the rest. A disadvantage, however, is the limitation in buying bedding since you don't want a "set". Bed Bath and Beyond does sell separates but the choice is limited. Amazon might have others but I'm satisfied with BBBY.

For disposal with the Winkbed I opted for their white glove delivery service for $159 they had two men set up the new one and remove my old mattress. It was well worth it.

DO NOT buy Sealy. I had 2 in 3 years and they started to sag badly in 1-2 months. Their Customer Service is awful. They don't have exact replacements, so they charge you for an upgrade. And you have jump through hoops to get it.
I bought my last one from Marion Market and it is much better than any Sealy product I have had.
Maybe not the classiest, but certainly works for me.

Thanks for all the feedback.

After going through multiple mattress sets that were unacceptable after various periods of use, my wife found FloBeds online. They use latex to form pieces full length and about 3 inches thick. These pieces are available in soft, medium, firm, and extra firm. You order 3 pieces per side of a king or queen mattress so you can customize the feel. And, if it’s too soft or firm, you rearrange the sequence of layers to adjust. The cores come with a zippered enclosure so the end result looks like a regular mattress. They also have an enclosure that holds four layers. They have different foundations as well. We like these so much, we put a queen mattress in our guest room.

It's on the way, John. They said there is a slight delay? Of Course. I take it as a good sign that they can't keep up with the orders. I promise to let you and Blessed and Grateful as soon as we test it out. The one you showed is the one I ordered except as a Queen, I can barely catch Mrs. NUCKY now. I'd never be able to on A King Size Bed. I hope its a winner.

Just called T & N they said they got hit hard with orders over the Memorial Day Weekend with the $300 off. I said I'll try to hold my wife off from cancelling and they took off another $50 Probably the end of next week. It's being shipped from North Carolina. I'm waiting for sure.

Are these Tufts & Needle mattresses all the same firmness?
