    I’m appreciating the new CNET videos way more than the old ones with the old presenters.

      Ageism?

      @Tristen Hernandez I wasn’t refering to their age but I guess the english language is a little too difficult for some people.

      @adilator Fair enough maybe it was just your chosen verbiage. 🙃👍🏾

    One of the most important things to figure out before shelling out on a top tier mattress is whether or not that’s actually the answer to your sleep problems. I’ve been struggling with sleep for years and thought that the Purple mattress would be the answer to finally getting a good nights sleep. A couple grand and a few years later, it’s just a mattress that doesn’t improve my sleep at all. Sometimes your sleep issues are due to medical problems, not your mattress. Turns out it doesn’t matter what I sleep on, my body just sucks at sleeping at the neurological level.

      I am in the same boat. Have you found a solution?

    • Richard Spellman

      December 26, 2021 at 12:59 pm

      @Ahmed Jawed No but at least I get to collect disability for it. My issue is that my REM sleep is too short and too shallow. For every 8 hours of sleep I get about 2 hours of genuine rest, but it’s broken up into very short seconds-long periods that don’t lead to a productive rested state. It’s one of those things that medical science hasn’t figured out yet apparently.

      I tried two different ones and one was not very good, but the other one I liked. I was visiting different people who both had sleep number beds. I’ve been wanting to try a temperpedic

      December 30, 2021 at 12:07 am

      I ordered the original pillow and it was awful.. the ads look so good on it but the material doesn’t feel the way you would think. I have laid on all the purple mattress but have not slept on them. I would not recommend though..

    A family member got a Stearns & Foster king size bed. I slept in it once. It was heaven, the best sleep I have ever gotten. The mattress & box spring costed them.. $3000.

    I was able to finance a nectar mattress through QVC for about 112 a month for about five payments the nectar mattress is wonderful I love it so much it’s extremely comfortable.

    Great info, thanks so much. What about your old mattress? Do they pick it up? Do you have to get rid of it? One of the top questions for me.

  17. username1445

    December 24, 2021 at 8:32 pm

    what no mention on how most reviews are bought and stores make it impossible for you to compare mattress/brands? or how most mattresses are a huge scam?

    Great video although after watching I am no closer to knowing which is the best new mattress for me. The process is grueling and not enjoyable at all.

    Researching & buying a new mattress is a full-time job! But it’s worth it! If you choose the right mattress, it’ll change your life! It certainly did for me!

    • Poppy Love

      December 30, 2021 at 7:48 am

      What kind did you decide on?

    • Ordinary G33K

      December 30, 2021 at 10:20 am

      @Poppy Love I got the Nest Alexander Hybrid, and it’s been great. I sleep SO WELL on it!

    I’ve had the same floatation mattress for almost 40 years. NOTHING is as comfortable, adjustable, or as good a value… In fact, everyone who has slept on it wants one, & many have actually switched. And yet, it was ignored completely in this ‘report’.

    • Nezello

      December 27, 2021 at 9:26 am

      Floatation mattress, what brand, model, etc.?

    • Poppy Love

      December 30, 2021 at 8:05 am

      Can you share with us what kind of flotation mattress you have and like? Thanks

    • VEGANSAM

      December 30, 2021 at 7:29 pm

      @Poppy Love LOL (I love your name)
      Well, I had answered that question thoroughly for Nezello, but it seems CNET deleted it!
      WHY, CNET?!

    Why would one like firmness though? Interesting.

  27. Richard Wagner

    If you have a bad back like I do avoid memory foam. It lasts 2 1/2 to 3 years and then it gets lumpy and causes severe back pain. I spent $5000 for the top of the line Beauty Rest and had to get rid of it after 3 yr. Got a sleep number to replace it and couldn’t be happier. My sleep number is 95. My back is very sensitive. And it won’t degrade like a regular mattress over time. If your back changes you just change the firmness. Bonus, get the cheapest model to avoid the memory foam they add to higher priced models.

    This is right on time. Shopping for a new mattress right now, but I did notice that it looks like you’ve tested mainly online brands? What about the traditional brands? The review seems very bias.

    December 30, 2021 at 12:06 am

    We have the nectar premier it’s been about 100 days. Sleeps hot with the mattress protector but ok without it. Mattress is medium soft I would say ( I had slept on a 3” memory foam pad for a couple years and it’s definitely not as soft as that. It’s a good mattress overall.

    How can anyone buy a mattress online without laying on it (them) in a store? I must be old school. Certain things don’t compute without brick & mortar …
