We had an Emma mattress but my husband wanted to swap to tempur. I went to “and so to bed” to try them and the guy recommended that I try the vspring. We got the vspring as it felt extremely comfortable. We have had it for 6 months and would never go back to another memory foam.
We went for the supreme medium/firm tension. There wasn’t a smell or certainly not one I noticed! You can actually get different tensions if you and a partner prefer something harder / softer on one side. Honestly worth every penny as sleep has such a big impact on performance.
No. I know the difference between tufting and quilting. At any rate, there are manufacturers that will give you decorative tufts with rosettes and everything. Regardless. I think we’re effectively saying the same thing and getting hung up on semantics. I think we’re effectively agreeing that we’re not counting that in your list.
That said…my Vispring is hand tufted. You can add that to your list.
Not everyone likes pocket spring mattresses because they don't mold around you. Kudos for getting down to the shop though. Picadilly has the Vispring flagship store for next time. We have two in the house, a firm, and a medium. It's like sleeping in a cloud. I love them. Went for mid range super king and king with divans. Had one for 10 years and it's absolutely perfect. The other 3 years and so comfy.
A topper really brings it all together. You don't need one, but it just makes it even better.
I went down this rabbit hole too many times…
There is a lot of personal preference, but here’s mine—
Never memory foam, make me handicapped, sink in, can’t move bullshit.
Latex is a massive step up— sink onto, not into.
Aerloom’s higher end beds have micro coils (lots of support) with latex on top.
Step up from that— Kluft. Same company, supposedly better product.
Aerloom made my back feel 90% better than the very pricey online bed in a box bullshit I had purchased a few years prior.
Next step up Vispring. No foam. Springs, cotton, wool, horse hair (if you’re fancy). Feels like an 80s bed, but in a good way. Back pain gone.
There is a NY company that makes handmade beds like Vispring, but way less expensive. Didn’t buy because I couldn’t try them out in California. Might be a great mid price option. Google will find them for you.
Remember lots of margin in mattresses. Ignore their “xyz” sale and ask for no less than 33% off .
