1.  Four Seasons Bed Four Seasons’ fully customizable bed was developed in partnership with Simmons Bedding Company. The Four Seasons Bed mattresses feature GelTouch Foam Center heat-absorption technology that keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the night. As well, the bed has pocketed coil motion separation that minimizes disturbance when you or your partner moves around. Additionally, you can choose from three different mattress tops that vary in levels of firmness: Signature, Signature Firm, or Signature Plush. The beds are currently being rolled out across hotels in the U.S.A., but you can have a sublimely comfortable sleep in your own home by buying your own. These beds are never sold in stores so you need to purchase from a hotel directly. A set (including mattress, box spring and topper) starts at $2,199 for a twin. 2.  Westin Heavenly Bed The aptly named Westin Heavenly Bed is renowned among jetsetters for its ability to create a divine, restful sleep anywhere in the world.




The plush pillow-top mattress eases you into a deep sleep, while pocketed coils minimize movement and disturbance from bedmates. The Heavenly Bed is widely available, on sale at Nordstrom and Pottery Barn, as well as through Westin’s own website. Prices start at $1,368 for a twin mattress with box spring and bed frame. To really create the heavenly experience, and fresh scent, of a Westin bedroom, we recommend adding a signature White Tea candle ($36) to your shopping cart. The French luxury hotel chain has 120 hotels in 40 countries across the world, but if you can’t spend every night in a Sofitel hotel, you can, at least, rest in a signature Sofitel SoBed. Custom designed for the hotel chain, the soft SoBed’s innerspring ensures support and diminishes movement. You will, Sofitel confidently claims, “awake each day with a natural joie de vivre.” While we can’t quite guarantee your morning mood, we do concur this is a stellar bed. A twin set with mattress, box spring, and bed frame starts at $1,524.




4.  W Hotels Bed If you want the W Hotel bed experience without the over-the-top scene-y W Hotel experience, you’ll just have to buy your own. Created by Simmons especially for W Hotels, you can choose from a plush top mattress with firm support that creates a solid foundation eliminating tossing and turning, or a softer pillow top mattress, which, W Hotels claim, “some guests describe as sleeping on a cloud.” Price starts at $1,399 for a twin including box spring and frame, or $2,776 for a queen set that comes with sheets, duvet, and four pillows. Truly the king of hotel beds, the Duxiana brand even has entire hotels in Sweden and China built around its luxe beds. A DUX bed is a sure sign of a great hotel and luxury hotels that can lay claim to this amenity include Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai and The Quin in New York City. The beds, which are engineered to alleviate back pain and promote good sleeping posture, feature the Pascal system of interchangeable spring cassettes, allowing you to customize your side of the bed.




The company even claims that sleeping in their beds gives you an additional hour of deep sleep. Duxiana stores are located throughout the U.S. and prices for a DUX bed range from $3,700 to $12,000.

Must Read Posts For All Mattress Shoppers Need help buying a mattress? Read the  Consumer Reports Innerspring Mattress Ratings: Click here A MUST READ BOTH FOR ALL SURVEY TAKERS AND USEFUL FOR SHOPPERS ON THEIR OWN. Welcome to my Old Bed Guy website. I named this essay, “Mattress 103” because my intent is to provide you with an information-packed introduction to intelligent mattress shopping. I could’ve called it “Mattress shopping made easy”.




But shopping for such a “blind item” is never that easy, even for a so-called expert like myself.  Your chances for finding what you need will be significantly improved when you are armed with facts you will learn in this essay. You are reading this because you need a new mattress and find the shopping process uncomfortable, unpleasant, or hard to understand. Or often all three and more. Mattress makers and retailers deliberately make the buying process more difficult. The less that you know, the more money that they can make. If they let you discover how little difference there often is between many mattresses, profits will go down the drain. There are quality differences, but not as great as the price differences. My mission is to make it easier for you to be able to judge.... Tests and results from a reliable source...  If nature abhors a vacuum, opportunists are always ready to make money by exploiting the fears to be found in the minds of almost all mattress shoppers.  




And that is the message I am trying to impart in this post.   The mattress industry as a whole, has intentionally made it as hard as possible to comparison shop for a mattress.... Question from a desperate reader: Is a new mattress considered a used mattress if it gets returned? I'm wondering because I have been sleeping on my new Simmons Beautyrest Allegheny Extra Firm mattress for two months. I sleep ok but it is super hard and I think I would feel more comfortable if it were a bit softer. I paid $1,400 which was more than I expected to pay but I thought I would be helping my health. I only have a few days left to return it but they want a 15% restocking fee plus $60 pick-up fees and I do not want to spend more money but I hate this mattress. Sorry to ask you all this but I am desperate to make aKay G., March 7, 2015 Your dilemma is one that is common and frustrating to countless numbers of mattress buyers.

It's unbelievable to me that mattress sellers would take back a mattress, repackage it, restock it, and then sell this used mattressThe big problem I have with this is when some of these hucksters try to pass these mattresses off as new. It really fries me because…It's one of those "dirty little secrets" of the mattress industry. I for one would not want to buy a used mattress that I thought was new. Sure, I’ve slept on my share of used mattresses—short-term house rentals, hotels, and visiting family or friends.But nowadays, with the threat of bed bugs or other little critters that can crawl inside a hole in a mattress, we have to be careful bringing a used mattress into our homes. I realize mattresses can be




I realize mattresses get dumped in landfills. I realize some people can't afford a nice, new mattress. But those are issues for another time. you ever buy any mattress, make certain you understand those return fees. My point is clear: If a mattress store is charging a restocking fee, that means they intend to restock it, as in, resell it. So yes to your question: If your new mattress, that you slept on for two months, gets returned, it becomes a used mattress. And if the store isn't restocking it, then why are they charging a restocking fee? See what I mean? It's a bunch of monkey business if That's why it’s vital to know the return policies of anyRead all return information carefully.

The key is, what do you want and what do you need?I’ve purchased some great stuff from companies that haveBut I knew exactly what I wanted, and I knew I would never return what I bought from them. Now let’s look at what I would suggest you do. others in your situation if they’re stuck with a mattress they don’t want. keep this Simmons mattress. The benefit of keeping the mattress is you don’t have to pay $210 in restocking fees and $60 pick-up fees. You could use that money to go out and get a brand new memory foam topper to make this concrete slab of a mattress you have more comfortable. I think that option stinks. I think option 2 is better. this brick and pay the price. The benefits of doing this are, in my opinion, better than the benefits of keeping the mattress. It is unlikely you will ever be able to sleep on this mattress without the aid of an excellent memory foam topper. It’s hard enough to get a good night’s sleep.




start thinking before you go to bed that you hate your mattress, this really can lead to insomnia. You become almost afraid to go to bed at night. From a financial standpoint, if you send the mattress back, you will have $1,130 cash back in your purse ($1,400 purchase - $270 cost ofYes, you are out $270 and you’re bummed out that you lostHowever, you have cut your losses and now: By the way, in general, yes, I do think thinner people will find an extra firm mattress less comfortable than a firm or medium firm. Everyone is different however so there is no set-in-stone rule on this. warns people that buying used mattresses increases the chance of bringing bed Most states in the U.S. have strict laws for selling used mattresses or mattresses with used materials. I selected three at random to see what I could find: Texas, California, and Massachusetts. It’s clear from my reading each of these state’s literature that any company must have a license to resell used bedding.




California calls mattresses that have used materials,These mattresses will have a red tag. A yellow tag is for a used mattress that has been sanitized. California’s Department of Consumer Affairs warns people that buying used mattresses from companies that are not certified increases the chance of bringing bed bugs home. Massachusetts also makes a big deal out of mattress sanitizers being properly licensed. Of course, the chances of a name-brand mattress maker stuffing their new mattresses with used materials is non-existent. Look for a white “Under Penalty of Law” tag on the mattress. This tag will say something like “this mattress contains all-new material Then it goes on to say where and when it was manufactured and have a bunch of numbers on it. It is illegal for a mattress retailer to sell you a mattress without that white tag. The bottom line is, if you want new, buy from retailers who only sell new mattresses.




And always look for that white “all-new-mattress”If you see a colored tag—or no tag at all—run the other way! Ask the people at the mattress store if what you are buying As to your question about restocking fees, this all comes down to how a company wants to do business. Different companies have differentSome have a mattress trial period. A company has every right to charge a restocking fee if theyMaybe they feel they’ll lose a fortune if they don’t because they’re afraid of too many returns. As for your memory foam topper questions, I’ve received several similar questions recently. Check out some of the topper articles on myI’ll be posting more soon too.Okay, let’s wrap this up. The good news is, if you don’t want to worry about return fees and restocking fees, you won’t have to pay them You may be surprised to know you can get a finely crafted queen mattress for only $899. A luxury twin is only $599. These are American made mattresses.
