I had to move recently, since my apartment was way too close to the street. The noise was coming from the cars, especially buses, was just too much for me. I found a good place just two blocks from my old place, which was cool. I hate it when I have to find new grocery stores, new laundry rooms ect. And there is one big plus in my new apartment/condo. And I’m loving it.

My bedroom is now much larger than my old one, so I can place a bigger bed now. I’m looking for a mattress that could suit my king size bed and I had to read a lot about it because I don’t know anything about mattresses or bed at all. I wanted to use Sealy mattress because I know my friend has long, that’s basically my only guide so far. I know they are very well known brand and that their mattresses are quite expensive. The thing is, I don’t want to have a cheap mattress that I will have to throw out in six months or so. My friend, that now has a Sealy mattress, used to have Miralux mattress that he had to replace in less than a year.

I have searched for a mattress review sites to figure out what people are saying about Sealy mattresses and other brands of mattresses in general. The things I discovered surprised me. I’ve found mattresses that cost more than $4000. I find that quite unbelievable. What can possibly be in a bed that costs so much? And do they put gold bars inside? I don’t think so.

I’ve found there are way too many choices when it comes to a good mattress. You can grab a latex bed, foam mattress, futon mattress, innerspring mattress etc. and there are plenty of options that I can’t even understand. But one thing I figured out, the fatter the mattress – the more you pay.

I wonder why are there so many layers in these mattresses. I am quite comfortable with the regular size mattress but it won’t be too soft. All these other mumbo-jumbo stuff just raises the price and that’s it. I don’t see the reason to pay $2000 for Simmons mattress or to pay the same amount for Tempurpedic mattress. I’ve found a good Sealy mattress, King Koil mattress and the queen size Serta bed. I’m still trying to figure out which one would be perfect for my new apartment. When I read through several more mattress reviews sites, I will make my decision. Until that, the sofa is my best bet :-)
