just bought a king bed and have never purchased a mattress before. always had hand me downs.

what do I need to know? I can go 10 miles on a popular interstate and see 20 mattress places.

what are traditional good retailers or brands?

I've had 2 good experiences with Mattress Direct. Not sure where you are located though.

i need a king mattress as well. But i want the Bentley/Rolls Royce of mattresses..... You spend a little less than half the time sleeping so why not splurge.

Look on Overstock. Find a few that you like. Find out where they sell that brand and try them out. Shipping is free. I did that with my last king and it worked out great.

Yeah there's a wise saying about not going cheap on the things that keep you from the floor. Bed, shoes, tires

King-sized mattresses are far and away my LEAST FAVORITE thing to move. Enormous pain in the azz. If you have 90° (or >) turns, tight halls, and stairs, it gets even worse. And they barely fit through a standard door. Definitely have it delivered.

We bought a Simmons Beautyrest. Within a year, we were sleeping in our own divot, and a big levee rose up between us. We turned it like you are supposed to.....did not help. I don't recommend Simmons Beautyrest.

Just bought a King Size Tempur-Pedic Cloud Elite. It was $4,000. There is no doubt it sleeps great (it's the most comfortable mattress I have owned), but I doubt it sleeps twice as good as other foam mattresses I was looking at in the $2,000 range.
