I purchased two twin adj. beds (To make a King) from you a couple of years ago and am now wondering if I could purchase one king top mattress to set on top of the two adj. frames.
I think your beds are great and I think this will make it even better.

Hi Rick,
You should be fine as long as the adjustable bases are Twin extra long. They should measure 38 X 80 inches long.

I am concerned about sleeping on my side. The Akerman pillow top we have is to soft and hot, plus the pillow top seems not to spring back and when we get out of the bed there is dents for some time. Being tall and plump does not help I am sure.
Plush is the way to go,now I am not familiar with no springs. At the stores people were saying get ones that are a least 13 gauge wire. Do not want a rock to sleep on, for our hips and and lower back pains.
Let me know what you think about this.

Hi Debi,
If you do choose a mattress that has a coil (spring) system for support, I would agree that it should be at least a 13 gauge wire, or lower ( heavier) for lasting support. Changing to a springless mattress, such as the Sealy Springfree latex gives great support, and pressure relief, for comfortable side sleeping, without being overly soft. If you decide to stay with a traditional mattress, I would recommend getting out of the pillow top and in to a plush top or cushion firm. The issue with the Akerman series is that is has visco memory foam in it, which some people find retains heat. It may be just the pillow top that is warm for you, so I would not write off the Akerman entirely.
The body indentations that you are experiencing are always going to happen with a pillow top mattress, no matter what the manufacture. If you like the feeling of the soft top, my suggestion is to use a firmer mattress and add a latex, (not memory foam, Hot!) topper to it. That way, if it wears out, gets impressions, or your needs changed and you no longer want to use it, you have the option to stop using it, unlike a the pillow top that is attached to the mattress. With that being said, the Sealy Akerman cushion firm may work, or if you want something a little softer than the Akerman Plush. You may find that you do not need any additional padding on the plush. Whenever you change mattresses, it is important to give yourself at least 2 weeks to acclimate to the change, before deciding if it is going to work for you. If you have a chance to try the Sealy solid latex mattress at a local store, I do think that it is the best option for what you are looking for. I have a similar body type to how you described yourself, and that is what my husband and I sleep on, and it is very comfortable.

We really liked the Simmons Beautyrest “Angelique Plush” we saw at Macy’s. What is the equivalent mattress you sell by Simmons.

Hi, I saw a mattress at Macy’s called Carried Away. I was wondering what mattress is comparable on your web site?

Hi Barbara,
I have looked into your inquiry, and unfortunately, that mattress is exclusive to Macy’s. I do have a model by Stearns and Foster that is similar, it is the Robson Street, and is available in several different levels of comfort.

From Maria -
Among the closeout models, with a reduced price, do you have a mattress that you can recomend for a person weighting 300 lbs. that will last at least 6 years?

Hi Maria,
I have looked into your request, and this is a difficult question to answer, as each person finds mattresses to vary in comfort. For a person around 300 lbs, I do recommend using a mattress by either Sealy or Stearns and Foster, because they use a tempered steel coil, which will hold up better over time, and give a longer life to the mattress. Both models do offer a 10 year warranty, but this indicates the mattress will be free of any defect for the 10 years, and not how long the mattress will last. That is also an individual point, some people are more sensitive to changes in their mattress and do not tolerate any deviation in the feeling over time, and need to replace their mattress sooner than others. For longevity, I recommend going with a firmer mattress and adding a memory foam or latex topper for comfort, rather than choosing a Pillowtop. That way, if the top wears out, or your needs change, you can alter the comfort as needed.

Any of the products that listed as get it fast can be delivered in 2 business days, with curb side delivery. If you can wait, I recommend using the free white glove delivery, which includes set up. This takes one to two weeks.

From Kerry -
I just looked at a Serta king-sized mattress set that is called “Celodon”. I can’t find it on your website. Is it a discontinued style? Please give me what information you have on this style.

Hi Kerry,
All of the mattresses that we sell are current models from the manufacturer, and not discontinued models. I am not finding any information for a mattress by the name that you gave; it may be a discontinued model. Unfortunately, they do not replace last year’s mattresses with an equivalent version for the New Year. My best suggestion is to choose something from a local retailer that is currently being made, and then call us with the name, and any other identifying information that you can. We can cross reference the model and tell you what price we are selling it for. Serta is very difficult to match, as they make hundreds of different mattresses under different names for each store. If you go to any of the major manufacturers website, they have an area to enter your zip code to locate stores in your area. You may try this at: www.serta.com, www.sealy.com, www.simmons.com and www.stearnsandfoster.com

From Dennis -
I am interested in a Stearns & Foster mattress called the “Boswell’” that I saw in a store. Can you tell me which model on your website is comparable? Thank you.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for contacting www.us-mattress.com
The Boswell is made exclusively for Costco and isn’t available through our site. A comparable model would be the LeMans Ultra Plush Euro Pillowtop
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call by dialing 1 800 455 1052.

From Dean -
I am stuck between choises of a spring free or the Simmons Exceptionale model. At my local store they did not have the Simmons so could not try it out. I’m concerned if I order one I might not like it. I prefer a firmer mattress and my wife a little softer. I also wake up with aches and pains. CAn you give me any feed back to help my decision. Thanks.

Hi Dean,
As far as quality goes, the Springfree is going to last longer and perform better than an innerspring mattress. If you want a mattress that isn’t extremely soft or firm, I can recommend the Sealy Springfree Garden Vine Plush as a good compromise mattress.
