Well I went to this mattress place where you get a full queen mattress with boxspring and frame rails and free delivery and setup. I thought the price was good at $432 out the door, it has a 10 year warranty. But i searched the name and couldnt find anything on google about the brand.

It is a therapedic milano queen plush set, I think the brand name is milano.

Is there anything special I should be concerned about when shopping around?

I found a floor model unmatched set queen ultra plush sealy for $460 and free delivery but no setup and they wont help me get it up to the second floor. What should I do?

i have a symbol that we paid somewhere around that. after a few years they are comfortable as hell. i just wasnt interested in spending a ton of money, but i also wanted comfort

Amoeba

Yea I'm all about the comfort, just wasnt sure how important mattress brands are

dallison

i bought a mismatched set a few years ago with no problems, it saved me some $$$

dallison

you should get a good 10 years of comfort from it, at least it has a 10 year warranty. it's a tough call, since everyones' needs are different

Amoeba

what do you think about the pricing for the 1st option?

BEETROOT

What kind of mattress place is it? If its just a normal store, I'd suggest checking your area for mattress outlets. I got a really nice bed at one last year for really cheap, much cheaper than most of the regular stores were selling comparable beds for.

My personal choice in that price range would be the cheapest, firmest thing you can find, and then throw a 3" foam topper thing on it from overstock.com.

dallison

the price isnt bad at all

Amoeba

The 3" foam topper is too soft for me. I have lower back problems sometimes, so I need plush but therapedic.

buying a mattress is like buying a car. they'll try to get u to buy that day, and never pay sticker price. often at some of these big chains, u can knock off up to 40% of the price.
in some of the smaller/non-chains, u might not be able to knock off that much, but they might be cheaper to start with.
also no 2 stores have the same model numbers in their mattresses. each store gets a custom number so comparing it to a differen't stores mattresses are difficult (or rather takes a knowledge of mattress specs) which also make 30 day low price guarantees almost useless.

any other suggestions?

you can get used ones for MUCH cheaper

Why would you go cheap on your mattress? You spend up to 8 hours a day on it, you get laid on it and your going to have it for a long time to come.

I splurged and bought a Tempurpedic a few years ago and I will say with confidence that it was the BEST purchase I've ever made. I get a deeper more fullfilling sleep then I've ever gotten before. When I tell woman I have a tempurpedic they get excited and want to "see" it, its the easist way I've gotten woman into my bed, simply by having a bed. This is just my but there is no substitute for a good nights sleep, a high quality mattress is the best way to obtain it.

I agree with you, but it will only be used 3-4 years. Also, has anyone dealt with call-a-mattress before?

BEETROOT

I don't know about you, but when I was 18 I didn't have $1500+ to spend on a mattress.

astro

tireguy, you're one of the biggest douche bags this board has ever seen.

my tempurpedic is like panty remover...oh i fucking know.

That's harsh man, I just offered my if that makes me a douch bag then I guess I am.

He asked about mattresses and I shared my experiences, you just make an attack at me and my credibility- nice.

iTimmy

Your right, I didn't notice he was 18 until you mentioned it, at that age it might be difficult to scrape together that kind of dough for a mattress.

Ended up with a plush queen mattress that was quite comfy for $422 delivered to the house and set up, it came with the frame and box matress. I also got them to throw in 2 pillows
