Tell me about Texas Mattress Makers

[Grumps21]

Time to buy a new mattress because wife and I both are getting stiff/ sore backs with the current setup. Mattesses that the box stores are carrying seem like they’ve cheapened out and it just doesn’t seem like they last as long as they used to. They start out comfortable, but it only lasts a few years Current setup is about 4 years old. I’ve had Simmons, Serta, Sealy, and they all pretty much are the same. Memory foam didn’t work out. For some stupid reason, manufacturers aren’t making the mattesses flipable any longer, so I can only rotate them head to toe.
In my research, I found Texas Mattress Makers. Their website says they make the mattresses here in Houston using American made material. I don’t know if that means USA or if it means South America. Does anyone here have experience with their product? I’m seeing mixed reviews online. They seem to be a little higher priced than the big box stores, but not by much.

No offense intended....But, are you overweight? As we all grow older and put on them "few" extra pounds, we have to realize it's not the mattress.

Their ads say made in Texas by Texans. All I see in the ads look like illegals.
Jewish owner, that's okay with me. Since he started advertising, he went from one store
to four, pretty quick.
I haven't priced but the next furniture I buy will be from Gallery.
All that Jim Mcinvale does for the good outweighs his prices,

Kid got a purple foam mattress - most comfortable one in the house.

We’ve both actually lost weight. Myself I’m about 10 lbs heavier than my ideal weight. We have an older Sealy mattress in our guest room that neither one of us has a problem with. Sleep through the night and wake refreshed. I’d use that one full time, but it’s too small for the both of us.

I've had the same experience with the last several mattress purchases -Simmons, Sealy, it didn't matter

You can't flip them and they don't "rebound".

I'm 6'5" and 285# and she is 5'6" and 110# (soaking wet). We rotate the mattress every time we change sheets and it still doesn't correct the hills and valleys.

I checked into TMM, and recall them having good reviews but being quite expensive.

Let us know what you find out and what you decide.

Well, it sounds like my original comment is not the problem. I went into the mattress purchase debacle a few years ago myself. Finding the correct answer is a mystery. It seems like most mattress companies are WAY over priced. Good luck on your quest. Perhaps you can share your outcome with the group as any real information is helpful. I wish you best wishes and a sound nights sleep!

They have a store in Katy. Wife and I are going today to check them out

Try Sterns and Foster mattress

I don't have one, but see the Cantwell Mattress ads on TV. Have you looked at those?

ETA: I understood that they are made locally?

Not Texas but, the wife and I bought one of these. We got the queen in 12 inch thickness. We've had it nearly 2 years and like it a lot. Friends told us about these and we tried one. I was skeptical because of the price but, I'd buy another one.

Pillows that are too firm have a lot to do with neck stiffness also.

How you sleep can be a huge factor, especially if one is a side sleeper and the other a back sleeper. We just replaced ours, paid a fortune for it but it was the only thing except a top of the line Sleep Number that we were both comfortable on. The average life span for a mattress is 8 years or 2,920 nights. For us that’s about 20,440hrs of sleep. That amortizes down to about $4/hr or $28/night to get the best sleep we’ve had in years, if not decades.

Had we not found a medium firm mattress, we would’ve been in a sleep number since I enjoy a much firmer mattress than she does and I’m a side sleeper.

Well, what did you get?

You spent over $81k on a mattress?

Airloome. Did the math backwards, about $0.04/hr or $0.28/day.

 

[Grumps21]

Whelp we pulled the trigger on the TMM. It was absolutely the most I have ever spent on a mattress, and if this does not work, then I’m going to surrender and hang hammocks to sleep in.

You got an Airloome for under $1k?

Consider SleepNumber

This is why I don’t do math in public. King size Airloome w/tax and delivery was just shy of $5K with a 20% discount.
