I was ready to replace the Tuft & Needle mattress that I'd been sleeping on for nine years. It seemed like the options were 1) pay a fair price for a mattress that doesn't promise to be that comfortable for a side sleeper like myself, 2) pay a high price for a mattress that promises to be so comfortable you'll fall asleep just by looking at it, or 3) pay a very high price for a mattress that promises to be extremely comfortable and has the receipts to show that it really is that good.
Boring Mattress, by contrast, promised comfort at a reasonable price. That one of its founders had been a founder of the original T&N was also encouraging. So, I decided to try it out. I figured if it wasn't all that it claimed to be, I'd just buy a topper to go with it.
After about a month, I am pleased to report that my Boring mattress is very comfortable and I have slept well on it. I will not be needing a topper. And maybe I rest just a little easier knowing I didn't break the bank to attain that.
