Hi Pete,
My aunt keeps buying and giving away very expensive mattresses.
Then we went to Puerto Rico and we both had a perfect mattress. She woke up without pain.
Finally!! She wanted to get the same mattress. We took a picture of the name and the tag.
We came home and I went to find it for her. Like you said, it’s impossible. How is that possible?
No database anywhere? No one knows how the mattress was made.
God knows, they have lots to say about mattresses when we went to the store.
Yes -Serta, Yes Coils - no cooling - quilted top - no hybrid, not memory foam.
That should narrow it down.
I explained all this and then she went on to say it was a hotel version. That was it.

Hi Michelle,
My guess is that your aunt has been a victim of salesmanship.
The job of most salespeople is to extract as much money from their customers as possible…often resulting in overbuying.
A mattress has always been meant to be a utilitarian item…providing firm support and enough comfort to allow you to sleep deeply. For the past 40 or so years, the idea of selling a mattress as a luxury item has been pushed by the mattress industry. The problem with this is that you end up with too much upholstery.
Too much upholstery compresses more easily, which becomes uncomfortable quickly and lifts your body too far from the underlying support system.
Hotel mattresses are more minimal with their upholstery…far less expensive than what’s being pushed in most stores. Then there’s Serta…one of my least favorite brands due to the continuous wire coil system that is unique to their Perfect Sleeper line. It’s a cheap coil system that tends to wear more quickly than any other.
Going back 40 years, to a time when it was difficult to buy a bad mattress, Serta was worst of all the name brands…when their continuous wire coil system was first being used.
All of the name brands have been sold.
An investment group bought Simmons and Serta in 2016…now, one company.
Sealy and S&F were purchased by Tempurpedic in 2013.
The change in ownership resulted in inferior quality for the sake of selling more mattresses to the same people much more frequently than in the past.
It’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to find that same exact mattress.
First, you don’t know how old that hotel mattress is.
A new one, even by the same model name, could have different specifications.
Second, even if you were able to find that same exact mattress, it wouldn’t feel the same.
A new mattress is stiffer than one that has been broken in.
We do carry a hotel grade mattress. It isn’t expensive. In fact, we’ve just put it on sale.
The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress (not as soft as it sounds).

The individually pocketed coils provide firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine…most popular for the last 100 years.
The upholstery is mostly polyurethane, Certi-Pur Ceritied Safe.
No Back Pain
No off gassing
No sleeping hot
No sinking in
Just enough comfort to sleep well.
Thanks, Pete - TME
