Cheap memory foam toppers have effectively made the quality of the mattress irrelevant to me. I've been sleeping great on a compressed Ikea mattress with a foam topper. In fact the entire bed setup was boxed up and taken to my home in a car. I've spent the night at really nice guest rooms/hotels, and I don't prefer them over my setup.
I would much rather re-buy my setup again every time I move, than spend a ton of money on a "proper" mattress and deal with moving it/dealing with movers — for now, at least.
- starpilot 9y agoI did something similar in college. Bought an airbed and memory foam topper both from Amazon, transported them inside my Honda when I had to move out of state for internships. It was damn comfortable. Now I have a Tuft & Needle.

- icantdrive55 9y agoYea--the cheap foam toppers saved me so much money/aggravation. My dad once bought a $5000 mattress. He literally died in it complaining about the purchase. He spent his adult life priding himself on not being a fool with his money. He did a good job doing the opposite of what companies wanted, but he slipped up on the mattress. (I probally shouldn't have mentioned my dad's death. We had a twisted relationship. He was a good guy deep down, but the alcohol affected his personality, and not in a good way.) If I was forced to open a retail brick and mortar store; it would be a toss up between mattresses, couches, or a thrift store.
- mrep 9y agoRetail mattress shopping is insane. I went to nordstrom/macys to look at mattresses and the foam ones were retailing for like 3,000$ dollars. Checked out Amazon and found some for 1/10th the price and decided it was easily worth the gamble. 2 years later and I have no complaints with my 300$ Amazon foam mattress.
