Sealy Embody Perspective vs. Meditation

Q: What are the major differences between the Sealy Embody Perspective and Meditation?  I can't feel much of a difference between the two.  Is delivery to Texas free?

A: Delivery is free anywhere in the continental United States.  Both models have Body Climate by Polartec, which reduces heat and helps you sleep cooler.  The Perspective is only .25" thicker, but it has 5.5 latex on top of its foam core as compared to 4" of latex on the Meditation.  Neither mattress should show body prints because of this reason.  The Perspective is a slightly softer firmness number 6 as compared to 5 (on a scale from 1-hardest to 10-softest).  You didn't say what size you needed, but the Meditation is $360 less for the queen set.  My opinion is that it's a better value; however, the Perspective outsells the Meditation by quite a bit.  Give us a call at 877-454-3211 if you have any questions.  www.mattresshotlineexpress.com    

Uncomfortable Queen Mattress - Need help!!

QUESTION:  My husband is a back, side, stomach sleeper and I am an exclusive right side sleeper!  We are looking to upgrade our uncomfortable queen mattress we got 7 years ago.  It is not a name brand and we purchased it because it was in our budget and the size we needed at the time.  We need a king size mattress but are unsure what we should be getting so that we are both comfortable.  Both our parents have memory foam mattresses of some kind and we have found that we do not like them as they are too soft and have too much cushion.  Any suggestions would be very helpful in our search!  

ANSWER: You're going to need some cushion, as side sleepers, to give with your hip and shoulder. But too much will be uncomfortable for your husband when he is on his back and stomach. There are lots of mattresses that will provide that medium feel. The one I would show you is the best dollar for dollar value on the market. The Sealy SpringFree Beachside latex is the most durable. It's easy to find a mattress with the feel you like. The hard part is having it stay that way for any real length of time. The Beachside is thee starting model in the Seal SpringFree line and has the medium feel you want. Either way, there's free delivery and no sales tax.
