CONSUMER REPORTS RATES MATTRESSES

Here we go again! Consumer Reports did a study on mattresses, and again, I thought I would share the results. The mattresses that made their top picks scored at least Good for side and back support and resisted wear, teat, and sagging. The best also transferred relatively little movement and didn't make it hard to changes position. The CR BEST BUY was the Simmons Beautyrest Glover Park Firm Pillowtop (sears) for $780 with a score of 69. Next was Serta Perfect Sleeper Elite Pastel Firm Pillowtop (Macy's), with a score of 67 and a price of $835. For memory foam the top pick was Tempur-Pedic Tempur Simplicity, with a rating of 62 and a price of $1200. Their BEST BUY went to Costco for its Novafoam Memory Foam Collection Serafina for $900 also with a score of 62. They noted that the Tempur-Pedic maintained warmth in the winter but could prove to be slightly hotter in the summer months.
