Feels like a cloud
I had not replaced my mattress in (yikes!) almost 28 years, so it was certainly time. Plus I figured there must be some innovations in that many years. My old innerspring mattress was the not thick kind you can turn over, so I was a little skeptical of all these newer ones which were not meant to be flipped. My old mattress was completely broken down. I don't think I realized how bad it was until I slept on my new mattress. I over researched and took a very long time to make up my mind, mostly because of the immense amount of information now available and my inability to make apples-to-apples comparisons among the brands and models. I toyed with the idea of buying one of the only-available-on-Internet brands which are delivered compressed in a box. But in the end, I needed the security of trying my mattress first. I also toyed with the idea of a latex mattress on ecological and non-allergenic grounds but found them too pricey. I also toyed with the idea of all memory-foam, because that seems to be what most people are getting these days. However, in the end I got another innerspring mattress but with some memory foam. It's been great so far. I bought it at Macy's, because I get a lifetime associate discount as a Macy's retiree. Mine is a full/double. I have limited space and it's just me, and I'm small. So this is a great mattress for me. I got the less tall foundation or else I'd have had to pole-vault into the thing! These new mattresses are a lot taller than the ones of decades ago. I like the idea of tight-top, because to me the pillow top is just an extra piece to shift around and eventually flatten. I used my original bed frame and so far it seems to be fine. I am very happy with this mattress and believe I made a good choice. Time will tell. This review is for Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Alayna Plush Tight-Top
