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 ;-)

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.
Hmmm... I've had a similar experience to that of Danlib's with the Select Comfort beds. That is, when we first got it, my girlfriend LOVED it and i disliked it. After having it for some period of time, i've come to find that it's not that bad. Having said that, there are aspects of my motionless water bed that i dearly miss. I do have to admit that my back is in much better shape now than when using my waterbed, even though the waterbed was noticeably warmer due to the heating element.

I wonder what it is about these that women like so much and men either dislike and / or have to make major adjustments to? For sake of reference, we are using their "pillowtop" model and i've "modified" parts of the bed. Much like an audio system, i'm not content with the stock offerings from too many different manufacturers : ) Sean

King Coil makes a nice firm mattress. However they're so thick smaller users may need some kind of step up device :^)
