New Mattress (MASTER SLEEP THREAD)

[michigancat]

Eight Sleep is trying to be a data company, it's kinda spooky

yeah, that's weird, but IDGAF if they want my snoring data. I'm def not going to pay them $15 or $24 monthly for having it though.

well it's a little deeper than that. for example, they claim they will one day be able to tell you are getting the flu, before you know you have the flu. Their pitch is they would be able to help you treat it sooner but their real money maker is selling that info to folks like insurance companies or advertisers or any number of people who could benefit from your health information. They would be able to tell if you're drinking, or had sex, or exercised that day, are gaining weight, etc. Kinda scary where people could take it.

All that sounds good as hell. Sign me up.

SD you have me down a rabbit hole here. 8 sleep almost had me until I saw the required monthly subscription. I'm a hard pass on a $2500 mattress top that also requires a $15 a month subscription. Sleep number has a topper that has decent reviews, but also reviewing the chilipad. Mrs SF is pretty adamant about whatever I get covering both sides since she thinks it would be weird having a top on just half the bed even if she uses the features or not.

Sometimes this bbs saves me monies, sometimes this bbs costs me monies. 

Subscription is only required for year 1. I’ll probably keep paying it though if it’s doing all that good crap rusty talked about though.

I would for sure not hesitate to recommend the chilipad. That’s who made my Ooler and it ruled. Just not enough savings for me to get instead of the 8sleep though.

the sleep number one is a bit cheaper but I don't like the fact that its two separate covers as opposed to one for the whole bed.

To be clear they can't do everything I mentioned yet and they will hopefully go under before they can

Do you fuckers not know how to adjust a thermostat?

My mattress is old. I'm considering a Purple Mattress for my next one. Does anyone own one?

[DaBigTrain]

I’ve been thinking of getting a new mattress. I want some kind of cooling technology but afraid of what AI would do with my sleep data.

We bought a new mattress about 3 months ago and we were really close to going with purple but I couldn't get over the foam. Very comfortable though. We went with a nice Sealy. Don't scrimp on the mattresses boys. One thing you should spend the 'do re mi' on for sure.

sleep numbers are the bomb

the casper snow max is an intriguing new entrant into the hyper competitive foam mattress market

Do you have personal experience?

I don’t

I really wish I would have pulled the trigger on a good ooler deal a few years ago, they have gotten so expensive now I just can't commit.

[star seed 7]

I don't have many regrets in life but that's definitely in the top 5

I have a regular Casper and am seeking options in this thread to contain the inferno that is my bod from sleeping on one every night.

anyone use one of those inclining beds?

My lady friend has one. After she broke her neck (don't stand on the top of a ladder where it says "not a step"), she had fusion. Needs to elevate from time to time to relieve pain. Works well. I'll elevate my legs for a bit if my back hurts. I can't stay in that position since I'm a side sleeper and like to roll.

[DaBigTrain]

I'm moving and already going to buy some new furniture, so why not spend even more money and get a new bed. Should I get a good bed and get a cooling thing to put over it, OR get a super fancy bed with it built in?

My wife and I love ours.  We used to have a split king so one could be up and the other down, but it definitely felt like two separate beds which was not ideal. 

[star seed 7]

Apparently the couple next to my mom were inclined when the power went out last week and had to sleep in the guest room because you need power to lower the bed back down. Just another data point to think about.

How does this work? Separate sheets?

You can - the king is 2 Twin XL sheets.  I think we tried it both, with a king sheet over the whole thing as well as the two twins.

i bought like an inclined pillow and having been using it.  it kinda sucks bought also kinda seems to work so i dunno.  probably will get a inclinable bed the next time we buy a bed, but god knows when that will be.
