mattress question

I saw an advertisement for some type of bed that showed a woman sitting on the bed alongside a glass of wine, and the point was that the mattress absorbed movement to such a degree that you could sit down on the bed and the glass wouldn't spill. A newly married friend of mine has trouble sleeping in the same bed with her husband because his movement disturbs her all night, so I was trying to remember which mattress that was so I could suggest it to them. If you remember, please let me know, and if you have one, please let me know how you like it! Thanks.

I only have the mattress pad, not the whole mattress, and it is heavenly. sm
I have lifelong back pain, and the memory foam is outstanding. I can't afford the full mattress, but one of these years I will. Until then, the 2-inch mattress pad has made a world of difference.
Simmons has a mattress that is
advertised for that problem. Sure enough, when we went to the bed store, that's what the salesman directed us to. DH is a flopper, and he's big. Light doesn't wake me up, noise rarely wakes me up, but having hubby flopping around on a mattress that transmits motion sure does.

Anyone have an opinion? Pillow top? Memory foam? I currently have moderately priced pillow top that I bought last winter that just goes on top of the mattress. I have been able to fluff it up until just recently, but there doesn't seem to be any more fluffing to be done.

Hi, had a pillow top (trying to give away, are you close) and husband hated it. I liked the snuggling sensation but he just complained and complained. Finally had to shut him up and bought a standard mattress. UGH Kept the mattress in a latex wrap the entire time, it is looking for a new home before going to the dump.
Mattress odor
OK, this is a little gross, but I know you ladies are a fountain of knowlege about all kinds of things, so I'm hoping you can help. My adult niece just left after spending 2 months living with us after a rough spot in her life. She slept in my college daughter's room in her bed. There is a bad smell in the room, and I can't get rid of it even after airing out the room for 2 days. I have traced it to the mattress, mainly at the foot of the bed. She had a cat in there with her but it smells nothing like cat urine, and there are no stains at all on the mattress. I honestly think it's some kind of weird body odor, probably from the feet, and seems to have permeated an area of the mattress. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to try to get rid of this odor, short of dumping the mattress? I'll do it as a last resort, but I hate to spend the money to get a new one. HELP!
We just bought a new mattress - sm
It's a Sealy. Can't recall exactly which one but lower end on the price bracket. I think it was about 1000.00 for the mattress and box springs.
We had one of those air beds for a long time and I will never ever recommend one of those.
My husband also has back problems and needed a comfy mattress so he wanted that number bed thing. It was horrible. I would wake up with lower back pain that would stick with me half the day. His pain was worse too.
Not to mention the fact that his side of the bed sprung a leak so after about the first year or so, there was no adjusting it to a comfort zone. Had to pump it all the way up and by morning, it was completely flat and he was laying in a hole inside the foam frame. It was cheaply made, uncomfortable, and a HUGE rip off.
Go for a Sealy, it's worth it. I'm loving it.
Last night I patched my air mattress with....sm
I patched my air mattress with a grain of uncooked rice and some Gorilla Glue! LOL!! I put the rice in, put gobs of Gorilla Glue on it - it was a huge hole, and held a peice of duct tape on there a little while, then left it that way all night. This morning it was sealed! We refilled it all the way with air and it is holding just fine!
Two come to mind, a lamb's wool mattress topper - sm
for my mom that I knew she really, really wanted so I saved up (over $200 and I was in college at the time so not a lot of $ to go around), sent in a money order to Sharper Image and got it. The other was this great antique RCA mirror for my DH (he collects antique RCA signs and such), very unique, he loved it, and it hangs in our living room now.
You can check prices on line at places like Wal-Mart and 1-800-Mattress, etc.

A King mattress measures 78 inches wide, 80 inches..
long; Cal King is 72 inches wide and 84 inches long. Maybe you just need to rotate the sheet.
