Brought to you by Simmons


I'm shopping for a new mattress and came across this from the Simmons site:

"Think about how much you want to spend. Buying a decent mattress is like buying a decent sound system. A higher quality mattress is usually bought at a higher price. However, price isn’t everything. Focus on the models that suit your needs best."

I was initally surprised by any comparison to audio since so many folks think spending a couple of hundred bucks is a bit outrageous. But then I was struck with the succinct advice given. Those last three sentences are great -- just substitute "audio system" for mattress. The only thing missing is a sentence on synergy and environment.

By the way, I'm still surprised by the comparison ;-)

Whew, there for a minute, when I saw the title of your thread, I thought it was going to be about Richard Simmons. Perhaps an audiophile reissue of "sweatin' to the oldies" ;)
when you consider how much to spend on a mattress...remember...you spend 1/3 of your life in bed (and some of the best times of course ;o))...your back will thank you for not trying to save a buck here...2k will keep you and your back happy I'm sure...unless you want to pony up 10-20k for a Dux bed.
I'm now taking this thread off course, but I must share this:

Speaking of sleeping systems....don't buy the Select Comfort rig. I did, my wife loved it and I figured I'd eventually adjust so we kept it.

What a shit bucket. Too bad there's no "Mattressgon" on the web, I'd ditch that rig.
