If you're thinking about getting a Simons mattress, I think you should check out some of the customer reviews of mattresses that I came across, like the ones at [http://epinions] . Pretty much every single Simmons mattress style had a rating of only about three stars.
Let's take a look at the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Mattresses with memory foam pillowtop. There are a few glowing reviews stating that this model of Simmons Mattress was a pleasure to sleep on. And then there is a slough of bad reviews that all seem to agree on one main point: the mattress is not of the quality that one would expect for the price of ,000.
The people that didn't like their Simmons Beautyrest all say that though the beds start off feeling great, they all too quickly have depressions and feel like falling into a big hole. Another of the negative reviews states what poor quality the foam material pillow top portion of the mattress is.
If the pillowto portion of a pillowtop mattress goes bad and becomes overly flat of depressed, it can make the mattress feel ruined even though the actual springs are still in fine condition. How does this kind of info compute in future mattress buying decisions? Honestly, I'd be reluctant to purchase a mattress with any sort of pillow top.
There are a number of wonderfully thick and comfortable mattress pads, protectors and such with which you can easily create the same effect and feel as that of a pillowtop mattress set. I think the safest route would be to choose a quality non-pillowtop mattress and then outfit it with the type of extra padding that you would like to have between you and the springs.
If you opt for a pillowtop Simmons mattress, you must be prepared to replace the entire mattress when the pillowtop portion becomes unevenly depressed. Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done for a mattress once its top pillow or foam layer has become ruined. It is usually just as cost effective to replace the entire mattress as it would be to have the pillowtop portion mended. Since mattresses are expensive, this is an important area not to be overlooked.
And if you're thinking about getting a Simmons mattress with memory foam, be sure that you at least try some type of memory foam mattress before committing to a bed made entirely out of this strange material. As it turns out, people either love memory foam beds or they hate them with a passion. Better to find out which type you are before spending any money.
Overall, from the various mattress reviews that I've read, I get the impression that Simmons mattresses are overpriced; they're not terrible, yet not very good either. When you add in the raised price, it appears that most Simmons mattresses are a risky proposition and probably won't be around for very many years to come.
