WHAT's the most important piece of furniture?
The thing you spend A THIRD of your LIFE on.
THE THING that will MURDER YOUR BACK if it's not GOOD.
We MUST establish a GENERAL THREAD in order to CONGLOMERATE INFORMATION pertaining to MATTRESSES in order to sift through the LIES and TRUTHS of BOURGEOIS MATTRESS COMPANIES.
We WILL NOT be mattress ENTHUSIASTS, but rather APPRECIATORS.
For the MATTRESS ENTHUSIAST of REDDIT does NOTHING but SIMP for BOURGEOIS MATTRESS COMPANIES, and they are all PRICE QUEENS.
WE APPRECIATE the ARTISTRY of the MATTRESS
WE APPRECIATE its QUALITY
WE APPRECIATE its VALUE
A LARGER TAG does not a BETTER MATTRESS MAKE
A MORE POPULAR COMPANY does not a BETTER MATTRESS MAKE
AFFORDABILITY and long-term DURABILITY & COMFORT are the most SUPREME VALUES which MATTRESS APPRECIATORS ought to ADHERE TO.
Starting premise for discussion:
Is the Purple a load of SNAKE OIL?
Or is it the genuine FUTURE of MATTRESSES?
I personally enjoyed the feeling demoing it at a Macy's,
but I don't know if it's the sort of thing that gets worse with time.
Would appreciate the input of anons who maybe sleep on one every night for years.
>>12797You know, I've been pretty turned off of LindyBeige since I became more of a leftist due to his Anglo Imperial Chauvinism,
but that video's pretty good actually.
I'd no idea people'd just prefer to sleep as a group in the past.
Straight up sleeping with another merchant at the inn to cut deals through pillow-talk.
I knew there was a reason why I feel like total shit lying in bed alone everynight, and start to hyperfocus on otherwise nonintrusive tinnitus which ends up driving me kind of coocoo.
Haven't started to hear voices yet at least.
>>12806IMO Lindybeige is one of those people who has his heart in the right place and a good head on his shoulders but is clearly surrounded by retarded/poisonous ideology and isn't critical enough of his own context. History buffs tend to fall into rightoid nonsense if they don't have a solid materialist base, because the main alternative is nationalist narratives.
I forget if he discussed it in that video, but being alone in general is probably a form of low-grade trauma. Most people throughout history spent most of their time with at least one other person within line of sight, shouting distance, or arm's reach.

in all seriousness, any old mattress will do if you have memory foam or gel of some kind on top. you will never go back.
>>13368Also a 100% latex mattress will have zero springs in it
>>12863I put 2 pillows under my head and one behind my back, that's if your a side sleeper though
>>13374nice numbers

>>13525In my experience, novelty mattresses are overpriced and worse than normal mattrsses. BUT store bought mattresses are expensive as fuck. Mail in mattresses are less expensive, surprisingly. I used to sleep in an Ikea mattress and I had 0 problems with it.
I'm currently sleeping in a 10 year old mattress and I have 0 problems with it.
Very soft mattresses hurt my back, as well as very hard ones. Anything in the middle is good for me. I know this is vague. If you are hesitant to drop yourself on your mattress because it might feel bad because it is too hard, then it is too hard. If you have trouble crawling on top of it because it is too soft, then it is too soft.
>>12787i literally don't know how to buy a bed
someone tell me
>>12898what is gel?
there's so much technology in bedding
i only know of cotton and water beds
>>35037>The memory foam is what makes the difference, not the mattress>>layer of memory foam on a firm mattressyes
>>layer of memory foam on an mattress that sagswill cause shoulder, back and hip misalignment.
>>12895It's cooler/has more airflow than memory foam. Good if you can't handle sweating a lot.
>>13582They're supposed to be used for camping, and is generally well received in that context.
>>13381>>13385The floors used to be made of earth, or at worst, clay. Nobody sleeps on a rock or wooden floor without at least some hides or something to keep the cold at bay.
>>12895Depends if you have problems with sleep apnea, snoring, or sleep paralysis.
Putting a pillow under your neck might help with the first two.
>>12888Wouldn't many layers of blankets work just as well?
>>12834Foam (but coils are fine underneath)
>>12863Maybe everyone got addicted to pillows, because it simulates other people to sleep with/on.
>>36640Pretty sure that's what a mattress store is fore lol.

I'll give you all the mattress lowdown as far as I know it.
My store we sold mostly our own store brand which was made locally, and then a couple other random sealy, simmons, certa whatever. Most of the stuff that wasn't our store brand was Tempurpedic. So everyday we put out balloons and signs that say sales 25% off whatever, but that's all bullshit of course. With Tempurpedic, the price is fixed, we have to sell it for whatever the price is, but we can throw in extra incentives like free pillows or free whatever. But with the other mattresses and our store brand we can go as low basically as 20% margin which is considered our employee discount. So basically 20% would almost not even be a sale really, but that's about as low as you can go if you're desperate for a sale. So I would say the trick is, as a customer, to be polite and try to press on the price as much as you can without being rude. I've seen sales guys walk away from sales because they got pissed off at the customers haggling them. So it's really that sweet spot of negotiation just like it is from the sales guys perspective.
Personally I think our local store brand was better maybe. We sold natural rubber latex mattresses of various firmness and like I said, you can get it marked down significantly if you play your cards right.
I spent about $2500 on my bed when I moved in, because I'm a tallboi and beds that long are expensive. worth it
