Evey where online seems to be astroturfed, just companies pumping themselves up, all the review sites I’ve found so far, if i dig deep, are also bought and sold. And, it seems like the industry has grown into further and further ways of obfuscating how terrible they are making their products now- eg. cutting down on the literal stitches in the side walls, so it doesn’t last 5 years.
JFC! I just need a bed! I want to get it offline, cause in person(my town is small and dont even think we have a sales center) but they are all commission based, just used car salesman trying to take as much money as possible. Does anyone have any recommendations? My partner and I aren’t rich but we are moving in together for first time(gleeful noises!), and both our beds already suck. Leaning toward a spring and foam situation, probably cant spend more that 1k, and are hoping for a king so theres plenty of wiggle room for both of us, and we dont end up having sleep problems with each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated- God I hate capitalism, literally ruins the entire earth and now wont even let me sleep. Thanks comrades,

they don’t tell you this in school, but you can order a mattress from an online retailer and “return” it.
because every online mattress store is a shitty drop shipper - they don’t take actually take returns, so they ask you to destroy the mattress or donate it to a charity (no charity actually accepts used mattresses). just fake some documentation saying you brought it to the dump and waluigi you have a free mattress.
real image from a real email that may or may not have gotten into my inbox somehow. that or SWIM got it in their inbox. i obviously would never do anything illegal ever.

Couldn’t OP just dump their old shitty mattress and say the old shitty mattress was the new one that got dumped?
(no charity actually accepts used mattresses)
I know at least 3 charity shops in my city that takes used mattresses.
Go to a mattress store, lay down on every bed until you find a good one. Buy that model online for cheaper on a place that offers free returns.
You can also repeat this indefinitely to never have to pay for a mattress. Follow me for more investment tips.
I recommend getting one without a pillow top. You can’t flip the darn things and you end up with a lumpy situation that either needs to be replaced or modified far earlier than the mattress requires.
Yes 100% I wish I had know this. Now I have back problems
Good advice
You can always buy a mattress topper if you want to get the same effect except that a topper is replaceable and often they’re washable too.
Imo it’s best to get a mattress a notch or two firmer than what is perfect for you. Mattresses soften and sag over time and it’s easy enough to add a topper to achieve your ideal softness if your mattress is too firm but if your mattress is too soft then there’s not a lot you can do about it.
I went on a trip once and one girl was talking so much about her temperature controlled tempurpedic that I still think about it many years later. Maybe those are good or she was a plant.
Good sleep is that life changing. I got a memory foam topper for my box spring and recommend similar to everyone.
I’ve had this one for about 2 years and I’m still highly satisfied with it. Just the right amount of firmness, comfortable, stable, and great for non-sleep bedroom activity. All for well under $400, or potentially free if you play your cards right with Amazon. And delivered in a box to your door. I’ve missed it whenever I travel. I’ve had zero desire to upgrade and see no reason to. It’s holding up incredibly well and if it ever fails me, I can buy the same one again and still come out ahead. I’m surprised the ass raping mattress lobby hasn’t found a way to block the import of these, because imo, it’s the $5,000 BYD EV of the mattress world.
Full disclosure: I am not a mattress expert
