Mattress suggestions?

At the first of the year, my mattress sort of conked out. It was a quality "firm", and seemed to be among the last of the flippable style. It kept it's support but lost its cushion, to the point where I'd get up each day feeling like I'd been beat on all night.

Looking at new mattresses, I was told several times that turnable mattresses are not made anymore. So I settled on a Serta "pillow top", firm. Firm, because I have had trouble with mid and lower back pain, in the past, from too soft beds. I'd laid on the floor model for several minutes and it seemed fine. Once I spent a night on it, it was like being beat on again, all night. Sore shoulders and hips from laying on my sides.

Searching for solutions, I hit on and got a 4 inch memory foam pad. It worked great for cushion, but I woke up every hour drenched in sweat because it was so unbearably hot beneath me. After a little research, I got an 1 1/2 inch "egg crate" foam cooling pad, which knocked the heat down a notch from unbearably hot to uncomfortably warm. Still woke up every hour, a little sweaty, and still having to move off the warm spot.A little more research, I started layering cotton quilts and comforters over the foam pads. Never really got rid of the hot spots, but it started affecting the cushion aspect.

So now, after 4 months with a new bed I'm in the market for another one. Can anyone suggest a decent mattress in the $500-$800 range? Everything I've looked at is not flippable and has some thickness of memory foam in it.

What follows is a DUmp classic:

5. I've asked about waterbeds in all the furniture stores

We've been to the past couple weeks. I have to assume the salesmen have all been repugs, since they've all told me waterbeds aren't even made or available anymore. That level of baldfaced blatant, demonstratable lie can only come from rethugs. I've googled waterbeds and while there are no stores in my area that carry them, there are a few that can order them and have them shipped to me and any number of places I can order from online.

What follows in the rest of the thread is the Hayseed Bogart primitive whining and fuming over wearing out his mattress/comforters/whatever, all while dancing around the 300 pound gorilla in the room, which is his own weight.  Fat people wear out mattresses faster.  Get over it, tubs, cough up some dough, or lose the weight.

Yeah.

This is the primitive so fat he couldn't squeeze into a seat on an airplane.

18. I'm putting my search on hold

Over the past few weeks I've been to too many furniture stores and mattress factories/outlets to count. I've learned that in an Amish community, within an hour from me, is at least one shop that builds mattresses to order, among other things. I've been assured that they will build a two sided flippable mattress, though they must stick to materials that are within recent guidelines/regulations required for fire-proofing and whatever else. A bit pricey, beginning around $1200, but worth a closer look if/when i resume my search.

Meanwhile, my wife who is a research freak, found an outfit in California that makes a 3 inch alpaca wool mattress pad, which comes with a cotton cover. Supposedly it's extremely breathable and keeps an even temp winter and summer. The con POV, in the worst review I could find, pointed out that it wasn't as cushy as a foam pad, while pointedly not mentioning the heat problems with foam, and that at first, there may be a rather strong smell of wool.

So I've got one of those on the way. Should be here in 7 days.

Nope.  Not gonna touch it.

Here's a recommendation for DUmmies.  Order the waterbed online.  Make sure that they fill the waterbed before shipping it to you.  Saves on water, right?

P.S. Shipping & Handling might be expensive that way.

Having it shipped pre-filled is the only way to ensure your new DUmmie waterbed is full of only the purest grade of recycled bong water.

Not real clear on why the Rupukelicans in particular were instrumental in frustrating his shopping choices, I would have thought the mercenary bloodsuckers would've been happy to take his money (At inflated prices, of course!) to sell him whatever hard-to-get stupid shit he wanted.

33. I got an air mattress that was advertised as

Cool and comfortable. BS! If I recall right, it was an "Invecta". It was self inflating, with a little electric fan built in, and really just took a few minutes to fully inflate. It got every bit as blistering hot, under me, as the 4 inch memory foam. Like every hour I had to move to the other side of the bed to escape the heat, but each move was like rolling out of a fire onto an icecube. I returned it after one night. POS!

I didn't get mine there but K-Mart carries them.

See DUmmies, a proper reTHUGlican mattress salesman would take this once-used and now unsalable mattress and pee on it, and sell it back to the DUmmie customer as a waterbed.  The pee is a liquid, thus making the mattress a "waterbed". 

And before you say anything, don't you DARE hold my definition of a waterbed to your social construct, primitive.

Wait a minute! Waterbeds are so 1980s.

Waterbeds are so 70s.  They go together with shag carpet like VD and key parties.

Here's what I can possibly do.

While laying in bed with my top-of-the-line Tempur-pedic mattress, I'll think about what mattress you might can obtain for $500-$800.

No, I won't. I'll be in dreamland not sweating my butt off and feeling great in the morning after a good nights sleep.

Oh well, it was the thought that counts.

Livestock sleep standing up. Given the girth of the primitive, maybe he could try that as the mass is probably equivalent to that of a prize winning heifer

"Sore shoulders and hips from laying on my sides. "

I'm familiar with this problem. When I was a fat bastard, I had the same problem. I lost weight instead of searching for a mattress that would be comfortable for my fat ass. I went from 250 to 180 (took a while) but the problem went away... along with all those nagging "back problems" I had and a host of other "problems".
I still consider myself a fat guy, those tenancies are still in me, but I know the consequences and avoid it. Dummies? I doubt they get it, that would require personal accountability. I mean, not to be busting on fat people, just fat people who won't own it. I used to be one.

In my estimation, most furniture salespeople are more likely to be Democrats. Here is my evidence:
1)  They always try to get you to buy more than you can afford, and tell you that someone else will pay for it (even though you end up paying more for that)
2)  When you tell them what you want, they tell you that they know better and you need this item, which is much more expensive.

My husband bought us a Tempur-pedic when I was pregnant with #3 and on bedrest.  Best bed evah

Indeed they are. Listening to early Metallica or DIO while relaxing on one is grand. 

Even grander, is a full wave mattress inside a pillowtop encasement:



Best sleep ever, and a great place for uh...exercise.

Actually, BD, it's baaaad.

You do sit-ups on your bed?

No, just push ups, calisthenics, and lay downs.

Perhaps the primitive is going through menopause? The hot flashes at night are a dead giveaway.

I would almost pay to see this DUmmie, who is no doubt as agile as a cathedral, get into a water bed.

Attempting to get out might make me pee a little while I am on the floor laughing!

Great minds and all that!
