I don’t know about you but bedtime at our house can be a battle… I like my bed to be like John Denver’s proverbial Grandmas Feather bed, and hubby is comfy sleeping on a slate slab…. so what’s a couple to do short of sleeping in two separate beds? Buy a select comfort mattress and you’ll both have the best of everything! Best of all select comfort will give you a 90 day free in-home trial.

We were told that this top end model had been made for over 20 years, and that it easily would fit into our older home–salesman said that it would fold from top to bottom for delivery. That was not true and after nearly ruining my staircase banister, the bed was delivered. We began complaining immediately, and after not hearing from the manager for a few weeks, some excuse was given and we were told that they had to pick up the bed and examine it in their shop. I explained the banister situation and begged him to come and at least look at the bed. No deal.
So after less than 2 years, I am desperately looking for a replacement. Every night away from home at friends or hotels is a real treat. I have never slept on such a bouncy, lumpy bed ever. And the salesman told me that this should not happen in a king-size bed, and I agree, but it does (unless we’re sleeping at Marriott or our relatives homes). Don’t even consider this product. They will not even come look at a problem. I bought an entire house-full of new furniture and appliances and this mattress is the only single regret I have.
Within 3 months of purchasing the new Perfect Nights Mattress there were permanent craters in the mattress that disrupted sleep even though we turned the mattress very regularly. In less than a year the indentations were so deep that we couldn’t sleep on it anymore. We would try to roll over but it was an uphill battle (Literally!) Rolling over took so much effort that I gave up and just rolled back into the crevasse. I actually woke up stiff and sore routinely and eventually got spinal problems and fibromyalgia! I am still tormented by how much the mattress cost since the support in it only lasted a couple months. I think that a mattress should last at least 5 years. It does have a warranty but it is on a scale that diminishes steeply with time. Even though it was under warranty, all I would get is dollars off of a new mattress of the same kind. The last thing I wanted was another one of these torture racks. I could not give away the mattress so I had to pay to have it hauled away.
I’ve had this bed for about 3 months now and I still wake up thinking how awesome it feels. I have been very, very satisfied.
The motive for such a bed was not being able to keep my shoulder under me comfortably when I sleep on my side. I used to sleep with my arm under my head and it began to cause shoulder socket pain and numbness. Since I’ve gotten the bed that has gone away and I have less lower back pain than I used to. I sleep in all positions.
I have severe back problems so the thought of buying a mattress that they claim they are building especially for me was very appealing. We bought a King size and had two different box springs, one firm for me and one soft for my husband.
The first year the bed was extremely comfortable. I had to have back surgery and had to spend a great deal of time in bed. Over time the bed literally sunk where each of our bodies had been. The center of the bed was visibly higher, so much that you could see a huge lump in the middle of our down comforter. We measured the “sink holes” and they were 2″ deep!
My receipt for my second Englander mattress says, Lifestyle Comfort PT and I can tell you that there is NO COMFORT. After 2 weeks my mattress got lumpy. It’s on a noisey Leggett Platt adjustable frame of which we were advised was just what we wanted. Had I known that the lumpy mattress I was replacing was also an Englander, I never would have purchased this at great expense of totalling over $3600!
My dealer in town won’t warrant it and it seems the Rome, GA plant made both these crappy mattresses. I am going to warrant both of them, while stopping payment on the newest mattress. Who could believe that in less than one month my side of the bed is LUMPY while the side not slept on is still flat. It is totally uncomfortable. I have stopped sleeping on it.
Englander makes you jump through hoops to warrant it but I am the squeaky wheel and will not be discouraged if that is their main intention.
I would not take an Englander mattress if it were free.
They are total CRAP! Their customer service is less than friendly and cooperative.
Englander also told me that I would have to pay shipping for a return or replacement to which I replied, I am NOT paying for your defective mattress and I want no part of anymore Englander mattresses!
I have learned my lesson and will only buy what Consumer Reports recommends which is Serta…or Sealy sold by Costco is also a choice since Costco is so consumer friendly.
Since my husband was having back problems and we were pretty sick of the waterbed we asked our chiropractor for a recommendation.He suggested we look at air beds,especially since my husband and I prefer a different level of firmness.
We looked at several brands and decided that the Comfortaire was our choice. The Geo Vista was the model on display at the store and that seemed comfortable to us.We were quoted a price delivered of $1399 for the mattress only which we were going to put on our platform from the waterbed. I went home and got online searching for the best price and found this same mattress on eBay!! I ended up paying $790 including shipping to my home and had it in 2 days,delivered in 2 boxes.
Being a back sufferer for many years,I have tried all the tricks:sleeping on the floor,plywood under the matress,extra firm,special mattresses and so many others over the years I’ve lost count.Being a TV addict,I saw many ads for the Posturepedic and decided to give it a try from one of our local mattress shops that would exchange if we weren’t satisfied.
My husband and I slept for our first eight years together on a semi-waveless waterbed. It was great until it began causing my husband some lower back discomfort. We tried a Serta waterbed insert (standard mattress without boxspring designed to fit into a waterbed frame) and it was like sleeping on a concrete slab. We lasted exactly two nights on that bad boy. We then purchased a very nice pillow top serta perfect sleeper. It was OK for about a year, but then my husband’s back started bothering him again. I had done some research on Tempurpedics, and we thought about it for a while before deciding to take the plunge. The concept seemed legitimate enough, and true to our typical form, we ordered the top of the line deluxe 10 inch queen model. We even purchased a new European flat panel frame so we wouldn’t need to mess with the foundation. We obviously didn’t research the “cons” thoroughly enough. The mattress arrived about two weeks after we ordered it. The guys came in and dropped it into the frame (yeah, the free “set up” is quite a deal!) and we were in business. The first night, my husband was playing around and went to dive onto the bed and I think he hurt himself because it was like landing on a brick. (Don’t try this at home!) We climbed in the bed and it was hard as a rock. I have never had back problems but after three or four nights on this bed I began experiencing lower back problems and tingling sensations in my arms and hands. I came to dread bedtime because this bed was sooo uncomfortable. We wanted it to work out so badly. We tried it for about 60 days until I finally decided I was going to sleep in our old bed (now in the guest room) until “the rack” was gone and replaced. (I didn’t experience any of the heat problems I have read about, of course we used the mattress in Wisconsin during December and January! I did find it difficult to change sleep positions once I was “settled in” though, as many other people state.) I called customer service expecting some major hassle but the rep was extremely nice and helpful. Within a week the mattress was picked back up and gone. I was charged $150 for the shipping but that’s fine. It is better than being stuck with a $2100.00 bed that we can’t use.
Update: Two things I forgot to mention. On the positive side, my husband and I found this bed to be great for, shall we say, OOTS (operations other than sleeping). On the negative side, this thing was HEAVY, HEAVY! Just changing the sheets was a major ordeal. I think they offer that free in home set up for a reason. Unless you are a body builder or prefessional furniture mover, you aren’t going far with this thing. You should have seen the two of us (me at 5′2 and 120 lbs) trying to move it just out of one room and into another so the new bed could replace it. (Heck, getting it out of the drop in frame was chore enough!) We were like the two stooges! It was pretty funny later, but not at the time! (Don’t worry, if sleeping on this bed doesn’t cream your back, changing sheets and trying to move it totally will!)
