Simmons Beautyrest or Stearns and Foster Mattress?

Hi Pete,
I've enjoyed reading your blog. It's very informative. Thank you.  
I've narrowed the choices down to the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm or one of the Stearns and Foster mattresses. 
Would like to avoid sagging, indentions and motion transfer. 
I am 5'5" 125 lbs husband is 6'3" 200 lbs. We prefer firm support with some softness to conform to the body in a queen size.  
I may have found the Beautyrest with the same name. I will try to compare specs. 
I am tempted to just order from you online but would like to try it first. 
Which mattress would you recommend? 
Thanks again for the advice! Sharon

Hi Sharon,
Neither mattress, alone, will give you what you want.
Both are upholstered with memory foam, which promotes sagging. Neither mattress will avoid sagging.
There's more to it, than that, I'm afraid.
The reason why we still carry Simmons and are no longer a S&F retailer.
Simmons cures their memory foam before using it. 
This process keeps the Simmons mattresses from off gassing the toxic chemicals, from which memory foam is made.
While the memory foam in both mattresses does not wear well, the memory foam used by S&F presents a health hazard, while Simmons' does not.

The poor quality of memory foam, and it's side effects, can be overcome with a latex topper....while enjoying the advantages of the Simmons Beautyrest coil system.
The pre-compressed, individually pocketed coils of the Simmons Beautyrest, provides firm, contouring, pushback support against the spine.
This support maintains the natural alignment of your spine, which is key to relieving disc related back pain.

The negative side effects of memory foam...sinking in and sleeping hot, are overcome by the latex topper, which sleeps cool and doesn't allow you to sink.
The latex topper insulates you from the memory foam and absorbs all of your body weight....causing the mattress to remain like new for many years. 
It's soft and very comfortable, providing surface softness that is best described as "Floating". 

I can save you some money on your choice of mattress. At your sizes, the Black Series Beautyrest is more than you need to spend.
My recommendation for the two of you is: The Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove in Luxury Firm.

You'll add to that: An EverEden Pure, All Natural 2" Soft Talalay Latex Topper.

To shop for this locally to try, ask for a Platinum Series Beautyrest Luxury Firm Pillowtop. 
There is only one such mattress in the Platinum Series, so the model name is irrelevant, as the model name will be different at every store.
The latex topper is far superior to the memory foam in the pillowtop, but trying the luxury firm pillowtop will give you an idea of how this will feel.

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes set-up and removal of your old mattress.
The latex topper arrives via UPS.
Delivery is free, for both, and there's no sales tax.

 
Thanks, Pete
