Title: Anyone have a ?bed in a box??
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on March 16, 2024, 07:23:43 EDT
My current mattress (a cheap off-brand memory foam I got off Amazon) is about 10 years old and I?m ready to replace it with something of higher quality. Currently leaning toward the Nectar Premiere Hybrid, which is supposed to be good for side-sleepers like me. Anyone have any other recommendations?

I have the same one, king size, and I love it. You can't go wrong with it

That?s what I?m getting- the premier hybrid. I went ahead and ordered it yesterday. Can?t wait to try it out!

I took a cruise of Scandanavia last year on Carnival.  Whatever mattress was on that bed was amazing.  Don't know what it was though.  :naughty:

Stayed in a Hilton a few years back that had the best mattress I had ever slept on. I got back home after a few days and I called the Hilton where I stayed to find out the mattress brand....I got it and looked it up.....it costs more than my car did.  :laugh:

 :eek:  Wow, that's crazy!  I can definitely settle for less than that.   :naughty:

I looked at Purple. They have some models that are relatively affordable. But their top of line in a king is 9 grand.  :eek:

Btw I used to work at a now-extinct big box electronics retailer back in the day. And for some reason we also sold mattresses. As you may or may not be aware, mattresses have the highest margins of nearly any big household purchase you can make. A $9k mattress probably only costs a couple hundred bucks to manufacture.

So why are we not all in the mattress business?  :naughty:

Well, because it?s a low-frequency business. Someone can buy a new car, and even if that car is still in tiptop shape after 4-5 years, a good % of people will be itching to replace it with a newer model with all the latest bells and whistles. But if someone buys a mattress, most will keep it until it starts to visibly wear out- 10, 15, even 20 years.

True....I had a good friend that owned a nice furniture store. I asked him why such the markup on furniture. He said...because most of it is financed and there isn't nothing to repo...It's all beat up...broke...wore out and tore up.

The wife and I swear by our Sleep Number bed (our 2nd)
Outstanding sleep with it
Ability to tune each side is fantastic
