Evey where online seems to be astroturfed, just companies pumping themselves up, all the review sites I’ve found so far, if i dig deep, are also bought and sold. And, it seems like the industry has grown into further and further ways of obfuscating how terrible they are making their products now- eg. cutting down on the literal stitches in the side walls, so it doesn’t last 5 years.

JFC! I just need a bed! I want to get it offline, cause in person(my town is small and dont even think we have a sales center) but they are all commission based, just used car salesman trying to take as much money as possible. Does anyone have any recommendations? My partner and I aren’t rich but we are moving in together for first time(gleeful noises!), and both our beds already suck. Leaning toward a spring and foam situation, probably cant spend more that 1k, and are hoping for a king so theres plenty of wiggle room for both of us, and we dont end up having sleep problems with each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated- God I hate capitalism, literally ruins the entire earth and now wont even let me sleep. Thanks comrades,

    I recommend getting one without a pillow top. You can’t flip the darn things and you end up with a lumpy situation that either needs to be replaced or modified far earlier than the mattress requires.

      Good advice

      You can always buy a mattress topper if you want to get the same effect except that a topper is replaceable and often they’re washable too.

      Imo it’s best to get a mattress a notch or two firmer than what is perfect for you. Mattresses soften and sag over time and it’s easy enough to add a topper to achieve your ideal softness if your mattress is too firm but if your mattress is too soft then there’s not a lot you can do about it.
