This treat-yourself tufted mattress gets its plushness from quilted foam plus silk and wool (materials that are more luxe than those of our other picks), as well as Talalay latex and 520 micro-coils. More than 1,000 pocketed coils at the bottom provide pleasing support for all sleep positions. Wait for a sale so you don’t break the bank.

While I can't speak to how any mattress will "feel" for someone else because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances ... outside of PPP and how well you sleep the most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress

Bloomingdales sells a Paramount mattress named Asteria, Ersa model. Does any forum member know if Paramount manufacturers the same mattress under a different name that's not exclusive to Bloomingdales? Thanks! The most reliable source of information about whether Paramount makes an identical mattress with exactly the same foam layers and components and the same pocket coil that is sold under a different name through a different retailer would be Paramount itself. If two mattresses contain identical layers, materials, and components then they would be the same regardless of their name and if there are any differences in the materials and components in the mattress then of course they would be different.

I'm assuming that you've read the  mattress shopping tutorial (which is the first place to start your research) but two of the most important links in the tutorial that I would especially make sure you've read are  post #2 here which has more about the different ways to choose a suitable mattress (either locally or online) that is the best "match" for you in terms of "comfort" and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) that can help you assess and minimize the risks of making a choice that doesn't turn out as well as you hoped for and  post #13 here which has more about the most important parts of the "value" of a mattress purchase which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on all the parts of your  personal value equation that are most important to you.

 This is the part of your research that you can't see or "feel" and assessing the quality/durability and useful life of a mattress depends on knowing the specifics of its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label (or how a mattress feels in a showroom or when it is relatively new) so I would always make sure that you find out  information listed here so you can compare the materials and components to the  quality/durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.

I ended up buying the  Sleep EZ 360 Hybrid. I have been sleeping on it for a week and it is very comfortable. I got a split top, talalay medium/talalay firm. Have only tried out the medium for sleep but I can tell the difference between the two sides just laying on them for a bit

I have done so much reading and research my brain is fried. I thought I settled on an Awara until I read more here. 

My needs

200lb Side sleeper experiencing hip pain I think due to my old mattress

Prefer firmer mattress but not hard, not not want to feel like I am sinking in.

Need to sleep cool, have ruled out memory foam

I think I would like a latex hybrid but have not ruled out inner spring only

Would prefer a brand that has been around for at least awhile and has a good return policy

I would like to spend around $2000 but will go higher if I am convinced it is worth it.

&amp;#x200B;

Have 2 on my mind right now, Avocado Green and Saatva latex hybrid.

Mattress Analysis Paralysis - Help Please

  I started with the Nest medium insert which was too soft.  I tend to overheat and because the NHL has polyfoam in the quilting and above the coils, I sink in too much.  I then replaced the insert with soft Dunlop and removed the quilting.  I have slept much better but I know I can still sink down because of the polyfoam above the coils and probably because of the coils (thank you kindly for documenting this)

Hello folks! I was troubled by the recent influx of posts about the Nest ASH sagging within 30 days of purchase. I wanted to get a Firm ASH myself, so I decided to do some digging. 

Short version: They changed the coils without updating the website to reflect this, and their sales staff (two different people) told me that the ASH uses the Legett and Platt Quantum Edge even though it (currently) does not.

I called Nest and asked what coil system was used in the ASH, and how many coils were in a queen. I was told it uses the Leggett and Platt Quantum Edge coil system and it has 816 coils. I then asked if it was the Quantum Edge with additional center 1/3 support, and was told no. I immediately new something was wrong, as I knew the Quantum Edge Queen has 789 coils, not 816.

I went to on Leggett and Platt's website and looked up the Quantum Edge. Here is the [spec sheet](https://beddingcomponents.com/document/load/quantum-edge-product-sheet.pdf).  This is confirmed in the spec sheet, which confirms 789 coils. 

I called Leggett and Platt to ask them if they had a Quantum Edge model with 816 coils and was told no. They went on to say that they do create special customized models for some vendors which are not listed on the website, and they did not know if Nest was getting a customized model, I would have to ask Nest about that. 

I called back Nest and got the same girl as earlier! I told her Leggett and Platt don't make an 816 coil system, and that I wanted to confirm the coil count and the model of the coil system used. She said she's getting "conflicting information" from her computer system, as she does see that the 789 coil Leggett and Platt is used, as well as the 816 coil unit she had told me about. She said she would get back to me via email, and I gave her my email address. 

I got an email from someone else at Nest 30 minutes later that said the following:

*Leggett and Platt have a coil shortage at the moment so we have opted to use a similar system from R&amp;S. There are a few more coils, 816 in a queen, however the gauge and design are pretty much identical. Sorry for the confusion my friend. Let me know if you have any more questions!*

There you have it. Nest changed the coil system without updating their website and their sales team still believes that the unit is created by Leggett and Platt, even though it is not. 

I have never heard of R&amp;S, and a google search didn't give me a ton of information to go off of. I found an [article from 2015](https://roselawgroupreporter.com/2015/05/phoenix-mattress-company-opens-9m-manufacturing-plant/) stating *"R&amp;S Mattress and it's online counterpart Brooklyn Bedding* are opening a 9 million dollar factory in Arizona". So it appears that R&amp;S and Brooklyn Bedding are the same company. This was further confirmed when I found the R&amp;S Mattress [twitter account](https://twitter.com/rsmattressstore?lang=en). That account lists their homepage as [rsmattress.com](www.rsmattress.com), which redirects you to the Brooklyn Beding homepage. I'm not sure when R&amp;S Mattress dropped the R&amp;S Name to become Brooklyn Bedding, but they are certainly the same company. Since the "R&amp;S" coil system is a Brooklyn Bedding coil system. This implies (but does not confirm) that the "R&amp;S" coil system being used in the nest ASH is the Ascension X coil system from the Brooklyn Bedding line of beds. 

According to Nest, nothing else in the ASH has changed except for the coil system. This implies that the recent issues people have reported with very early sagging at the coils / foam above the coils, super soft coil systems, overall lack of support, inconsistency between what they tried in the Nest Showroom and what they actually got delivered, and very noticeable motion transfer, are all tied to the R&amp;S coil unit.

Seeing as the Nest ASH was nearly universally praised, and now we only hear complaints about it, I would be cautious if purchasing this bed until we know Nest is using Leggett and Platt coil systems again, if they go back to using it at all. Nest is partnered with Brooklyn Bedding, so the R&amp;S Coil system is almost certainly cheaper than the Leggett and Platt, so I wouldn't be surprised if they stuck with the Brooklyn Bedding / R&amp;S coil system.

**Edit:**   
I could not find any information whatsoever on the Ascension X coil system. I did respond to Nest's email and asked for a spec sheet like the ones Leggett and Platt makes available. I also told them of the recent influx of negative ASH posts and asked them if they were only using R&amp;S systems, or a combination of L&amp;P and R&amp;S, and if they are using a combination, what percentage of mattresses were getting each coil system, and how can people ensure that they get a Leggett and Platt. I have not gotten a response yet but will edit this post when I do.

It is possible that they are also cheaping out on the foam layer above the coils, but they said that that layer was the same it&#39;s always been. They also said they use Leggett and Platt coils though, so who knows.

Seeing as the Nest ASH was nearly universally praised, and now we hear a lot of complaints about it, I would be cautious if purchasing this bed until we know Nest is using Leggett and Platt coil systems again, if they go back to using it at all.

I have not gotten a response yet but will edit this post when I do.

Edit 2: Got another response from Nest 
I do not have the spec sheet for the R&amp;S coil system used in the ASH, and they did not tell me if they were using both Leggett and Platt and R&amp;S or just R&amp;S, but their response does leans towards them only using R&amp;S coils. 

&quot;Legit[sic] and Platt, who makes the quantum edge coil unit, have had supply issues. [snip] I&#39;m not sure why there has been an influx in negative posts over the last 30 days, as we have been using [the R&amp;S] system for some time now&quot;

They don&#39;t give a time frame on how long they have been using R&amp;S, but it looks like it&#39;s at least a couple months, and potentially for up to 6-9 months. I recall reading about the mattress coil shortage getting really bad around September or October of last year, so the switch may have been made that long ago. Maybe it isn&#39;t just the coils causing the recent issues? Maybe they are also cheaping out on the foam layer above the coils but not saying anything about that? 

No matter how long they&#39;ve been using the R&amp;S coils, they never updated their website, and the sales staff still tell potential customers that the coil unit is Leggett and Platt&#39;s Quantum Edge. At best, this is false advertising with no malicious intent behind it. At worse, they are intentionally misleading customers with the coil unit change, and there may also be a change in the foam above the coils and below the comfort layer (but to be clear, they say there is not a change to that foam).

Edit 5/7/21 - All mentions of Leggett and Platt and Quantum Edge have been removed from Nest&#39;s webpage for the Alexander Signature Hybrid. It appears we got their attention. I still have not received the spec sheet for R&amp;S coil system, but was told it was coming soon (it sounds like they are in the process of getting one made), and it would be emailed to me. I will share it if/when I get it.

PSA - Undocumented Nest ASH Change

I tried hybrid latex, and it was not for my wife and me; those who like latex will push you in that direction. 

What made it easier for me was I sent to a nest bedding showroom, Macy's, who has Savita in the showroom living spaces showroom for leading line brands S&F.

 What we got was terrific its a dense mattress with just enough give, a little bit of a memory foam feel, but you don't feel like quicksand it doesn't sleep hot, no motion transfer, it's that right balance for us. What we found is it's critical to get an adjustable base. An adjustable base changes the dynamic when it comes to sleep. Being able to get the mattress in the proper position is fantastic

 If you have any issues replacing them is very inexpensive. We call the adjustable base company and bought spare parts; they're sitting in my garage just in case anything ever went wrong the parts are all modular Plug and Play.

Hubby and I are combo sleepers.  We tend to start to sleep on our side and end up on our backs (most likely because our current mattress makes our shoulders hurt).  We have been mattress shopping and love the Purple 4, the Aierloom Luxetop Plush, and the Tempurpedic Luxebreeze Soft - however, the thought of spending $4-6k on pieces of foam/latex/whatever that may last less than 10 years seems crazy. Is there anything out there that feels as soft and supportive without the price tag?

I’m 5’5, 180s, with lower back issues and almost constant neck/shoulder tightness
Hubby is 6’4, 230s, no major issues

The other issue is that we are looking for a California king (what we currently have and are committed to that size), so that increases the cost.  

Thanks!
