Foam vs. coil........

[whitewaterguy]

........beds. It's been a few years but it's time to toss the old king mattress. Just trying to do some catch up with technology. Who is using high tech foam Tempurpedic type mattresses vs traditional coil. I like firm support, have spent time in a couple of mattress shops trying out the foam ones and they feel pretty good, except the king that I like prices out at $4500.00. Are they worth it? Pros and cons. Hoping for lots of input from all you mattress prone guys and gals

Thanks

I get the temptation, as it SEEMS like a great idea, but especially for a firm mattress, coil is still the way to go.

Individually wrapped coils are my go to mattress.. They really do move a lot less than the old fashioned coil mattress (and they're a fraction of the price of a memory foam mattress)..

I've had tons of back problems and nobody has once told me to look into a memory foam mattress..

Been shopping now for more than a month and have settled on the Cadenza (made by Sealy) at Sleep Country. Currently on sale, available in King and offers great memory foam support at a coil spring price.

The Sleep Country website does have a search option so I am unable to offer a link. If there is a Sleep Country near by the Cadenza is well worth a look.

Thanks. Yes there is one in town. I will drop in again and check that out! Is it foam,coil, or a combination?

I think "none of the above."

I am not quite ready for a new mattress yet (have to get full value from the current one) but have done some research and experimented... my next mattress will definitely be air. Not a blowup spare bed, but a "proper," well made mattress.

The bottom line: with conventional mattresses your body has to adjust to the contours of the mattress; an air mattress adjusts to the contours of your body.

And with air, you can adjust the pressure and, therefore, the firmness of the mattress whenever you want.

p.s. In the "good ole days," foam and coil were two different options for pregnancy control.

Personally, I prefer pocket coil mattresses. A few years ago I bought a Serta plush super pillow top. It's the ultimate IMHO. I sink right down into it, and it literally feels like sleeping on a cloud. Best purchase I ever made.

I figured the older crowd would catch that one...I never fucked anyone with a coil..wonder if that ever resulted in some painful moments for either participant!

While we are on good ol days..what ever happened to the water bed???

I don't have tempurpedic but I do have a foam bed and I love it. This is a good site for reviews on beds that should help you out.

Foam, for couples, if you ever sleep/wake on different schedules. Foam doesn't move at all on your side when they get out on their side.

Water beds are still around. I know 2 people that have one. I'm looking at an adjustable bed.

Just went through the search for a new mattress, and bought the pocket coil pillow top mattress. Tried the foam mattresses and did not like them as much. Seems how much cushioning you need depends on if you are a back or side sleeper.

Mattresses are on sale at The Brick, Sleep Country offered to cut the price in half, Costco also has some sale on.
