Why Less Is More When Choosing A New Mattress 

The world needs this channel

I have been seriously researching mattress for about a month now. On RU-vid and spending time in mattress stores talking with sales people. I have found many good Websites providing good to great information. But, I have to say that your "simple yet very profound logic makes the most sense", and I thank you for it. When you are about to spend a couple thousand or more $$$ on a mattress you want it to last more than a year(my last mattress). Researching a mattress is time consuming and over whelming and it just got easier. thanks, feeling confident!

Yep. Our Stearns & Foster Plush mattress only lasted a year before the comfort layer went kaput. Lots of little layers.

Yes, you are right! I purchased a $3200 16" beautyrest queen mattress and it was one of the worst purchases I've made. The issue is it's super comfortable for 20-30 mins but then the foam sinks deeper and deeper and gets real uncomfortable. I have to keep moving where I sleep to keep the surface even on the surface. My next purchase will be a 8" tightop coil mattress and a 2" firm talalay latex topper.

Loved our hybrid latex beautyrest we got back in 2010. Replaced with a cheap foam mattress and I'm disliking life and mornings because I'm sore. Started doing research on mattress underground. Decided to head to a furniture store to find an end table and laid on a $6000 beautyrest that was so comfy but lots of cheap filler foams. Doing more research and finding a small company to buy from. Thank you for putting this info out there!

I have learned so much from you. Got a latex hybrid ordered. No 50 layers for me.

Very informative. Thank you for this guide.

Doing my research and ran across your video.. Excellent video!

Awesome. Thanks

What about a lightweight sleeper? I only weigh 117 pounds, and my new $2K Saatva hybrid mattress feels like I’m sleeping almost directly on the springs, even though it’s 11” high. Very uncomfortable! They sent me a (firm) 2” latex topper, and it still feels uncomfortable. There is zero sinking in feeling; I’m a back sleeper, laying on top with pressure points in my back, hips, and shoulders. I wake up with back pain every day! Seems like all the mattress reviews are for heavier people, so I’m very confused. Not everyone is 185 pounds!😢

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

This was helpful. Thank you so much for posting!!

Thank you for information.

For people with platform beds, it's nearly impossible to find a less thick mattress. I'm dying for a 7"-9" mattress. I know I'm not the only one. For people with smaller rooms, those thick mattresses make a smaller room feel so claustrophobic. I don't want to have to climb into bed. I may have to get a simple 4" steel bedframe to fit a 12" mattress on (and even that is getting more difficult to find). My other option is buying a cheap 6" memory foam mattress and add a 2-3" latex layer on top. I know it won't last more than a year, but I'll have to keep replacing the bottom part. Just crazy. Terrible to have to toss a tall, expensive mattress with pillow top than sinks in a year or two. Less IS more! Please design a spring mattress for platform beds! Thanks for the video.

At what level of thickness on the support layer does it become too much? I'm trying tondecide between the Birch, 2 inches of latex, or the helix midnight luxe....5 inches of foam. Cheers...love your channel. Also to be fair...the anount of foam layers you habe on top oa obscene....lol. kinda unrealistic

Great quality content. Excellent holy!!!

Thanks, very interesting!

If several mattresses all have the same firmness rating of Medium but they are 9", 11", and 13" what is different about the pressure relief? If all have the same firmness what are the reasons to make them thicker? Do the thicker mattresses sink in more or less than the thinner ones?

Build thoughts on Helix Dawn Luxe, Titan Plus Luxe, Nolah Evolution 15 Firm. All IMO range around 7/7.5 out 10 firmness. Soft on top but supportive. I’m 6ft, 200lb. Combo sleeper (side, stomach and back).

Very true 😫

what brand of mattress do you recommend for an all over sleeper?

How are the quality layers in icomfort cf-4000 plush?

Would you recommend laytex and one sheet of memory foam together along side inspring/coils?

Can a 6” Dunlop latex mattress be sufficient enough to sleep on? Or is that a base layer?

How thick should the comfort layers be?

Reccomendations for combo sleepers: side, stomach, tried a Sealy Silver Chill & loved it...cheers

I really dont get when someone wants a firm mattress and gets a 16" BR black or Sterns and foster. Like you want firm, why are you putting yourself 8" away from your support. If you just like the feel of foam, save some money and get a nice firm foam mattress. It's not just height, too many people think spending more money gets you a better mattress. There are mattresses you can get for $1k that I would trust to last longer than some of these $4k beds.

An actual good thick supportive mattress is the oceano luxe hybrid
