can someone tell me what the difference is between this simmons mattress at WalMart and the W bed? They seem virtually identical and the WalMart bed is less expensive- even with tax and shipping.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents on the Tempurpedic mattresses. Yes, they are very expensive. Yes, they initially are amazing; I stopped tossing and turning and barely moved all night. BIG downside- they REALLY soften in about 4 years (both hubbie and myself are thin, btw). Their "wonderful" warranty: WORTHLESS. The warranty covers depression, but the mattress doesn't depress much- unless you actually apply pressure and then it virtually collapses, even making a cellophany type noise. When it softens the back pain it creates is awful; I woke up with severe sacro-iliac joint pain every morning for 2 weeks. Literally from the next day, as soon as I replaced the bad over a year ago I have not had any pain. So- I would think long and hard about paying a couple of grand for a bed that will literally disintegrate within 4 years. Despite multiple attempts I was not able to get any consideration from the company either (and I am never one to let things slide, but ultimately waking up pain free was more important so we basically ate it).

Yeah, link didn't work.

I did a project at Starwood Hotels (Sheraton, Westin, W, St. Regis) and they really do have exclusive deals with the mattress companies to create something different and improved over the similar coil version.

Yes, the amount of coils are the same but the cloth and the foam and padding will be different enough to notice. But it raises a good question of buying it from WalMart because its similar enough and you have a way of returning it.

Thanks OP, I bought the King pillowtop after trying it out at the local Westin

Sorry keats76, but Byron and Shakespeare would both disagree...

The foam queen sized Temper Pedic mattresses are hot - literally.

The foam does not breath. It gots hotter and hotter and cause many people to sweat. Also they start to compress over time.

I'll stick with a conventional anytime.

This is a great deal.

You can build a queen size Temper Pedic type mattress for well under $500 and it will beat the heavenly bed hands down. I've owned a select comfort, stayed at westins for many years now (frequent buisness traveller) and now I own a memory foam mattress that I built myself.

All are nice, but the memory foam is the best. GL.

I'm still not sure if the sale item is really Heavenly Bed? Can any one give more info. to confirm that?
Thx.

When I try to order a Queen Pillow Top Mattress Only, the price I get is $1,075.00 and not $860.00. Please let me know what I do wrong. Thanks.

As I understood it, the starting price should be $875-$175(20%) = $700 + no charge for shipping. OP posting. Is my understang correct? Thank you.

It is *not*. It is the W Bed, NOT the Heavenly Bed.
