Hello, I am 6'5" 225 lbs. Primarily sleep on my stomach and sometimes side. Original bed was an all latex bed that I would hit a wall on how long I could be on the mattress for (8 hours or so?). Generally had lower back tightness/pain. Decided it was time to try and find a new one. I have tried BrooklynBedding's BME (medium) which did leave me with lower back pain even after a few weeks. Then I ordered a Purple. So far I really like this bed and it will most likely be the one I keep. I do not have any lower back pain with it. However, I'd still like to see if there is one that may be even better for me out there. Problem is I have about 5 weeks left on the trial, so I can only get one more test in. I've tried WinkBed (firmer) which was a lot firmer than I anticipated and I slept hot on it. That one will be getting returned. I also tried Avocado. I didn't sleep that well on it, but I don't have any specific complaints. I did not add the pillow-top layer and maybe that was a bad idea. I will mention that I didn't like the button-tufts on it. I could feel them as I moved around the mattress. In general I've avoided trying any kind of memory foam related deal because I do sleep hot. I also do not want the indentations that eventually are left in the material. I've been really considering one of the Nest Alexander Hybrids or the Brentwood Homes Oceano, but thought I'd reach out and see what the experts thought. Thanks, Robert

Hi Anonymous -- Thanks for your question. As you can see from the many inquiries we get, whether here or on our YouTube and other social media channels, the thing that motivates me first and foremost is to help people find a mattress that they really love. In this vein, I would really like to help you...I really would...except I can't. I can't because I believe that what you are doing is fundamentally unethical (see why below). Mind you, it is perfectly legal to take full advantage of the generous return policies provided by these companies. And I would even concede that they 'have it coming to them' to a degree, given how aggressively many of them have led with their return policies in their marketing. But if I'm understanding your post correctly, then IMHO, you've gone too far.
Why do I see this as unethical?
All that being said, in spite of my issues with your approach, I do fully support the spirit of what you are trying to do, which is find the ideal mattress for you. Next time though, instead of doing it in a way that harms the environment and your fellow consumers, I would strongly urge you to start with our very detailed and sophisticated (and zero carbon footprint) mattress match quiz, which can quickly narrow you in on a few options that are likely to be a great match for your unique needs and preferences. Then follow that up by watching our in-depth video reviews for those products. This will give you the maximum chance of ordering the right mattress the first time around. I'm sorry this is all the help I can provide in this case. |
