Spent Friday afternoon at local furniture stores, laying on different mattresses. I was nice. Tried an extra firm one. The salesman said it has a 15 year warranty. I told him when you make the thing out of bricks, no wonder it has such a good warranty.
The one I liked best was termed just "firm", Sealy Posturepedic. But it's only 11" thick and the Comphy sheets I want are made for an 18" mattress. I'm planning a 2-1/2" topper, so with that the Sealy is still about 4" too thin. Anybody have suggestions of what I could put under the mattress to gain me another 4" so the sheets will fight tight?
Or should I just forget fitted bottom sheets and use only flat sheets so I can tuck them in tight on any size mattress.
