re: Best “alternative mattress” you’re familiar with?

I must be in the small group who Tuft & Needle didn't work out for. Guess that's what I get for being fat.

We have had a Purple 3 for almost a year now and it's fantastic.

Which model If you can recall?

That’s the problem I seem to keep running into... these companies all started making different models and now I don’t know what the frick I’m looking at.

When I bought my first T&N, it was like, “You want our mattress in Queen? Ok, $300 please”

There wasn’t any “levels” of mattress.

I had a sleep number...didn’t like it

I bought one and had to return it...it was horrible. Replaced it with a Purple and love it. Bought Tuft & Needle beds for my kids and they are pretty awesome, too.

There is only one Purple 3 that I'm aware of.

It makes sense that these companies are continually adding to their product line.

Similarly, every Tempur-pedic I've slept on is comfortable at first, but then I woke up in a puddle of my own sweat because theyre hot as hell.

Does this seem to be the case with all of these new mail-order mattresses?

I need to replace a mattress that I threw out a couple days ago, but I end up sleeping in that bed a good bit. I sleep EXTREMELY hot already on the standard spring mattress. I'm concerned about memory foam making me miserable.

Also not looking to spend several thousand dollars on a guest room full sized bed..

Looks like Wayfair is having a huge sale on Beautyrest, but I have no idea where to begin.
