How do you sleep? Select Comfort beds and mold.

cj, is it one of those beds from the Sheraton?

They are reeeally comfortable.

Mr. B and I are in the market for a new bed which is how the Select Comfort thing came up. If someone knows a good non-moldy bed I'd love to hear about it.

These SC beds are supposed to be nice but they are expensive -- our friends with the moldy bed spent $3,000 for their set. Now they're sleeping in the guest room until SC comes through with the replacemnent.

Mo has allergy induced asthma so I take moldy stuff seriously. Your bed shouldn't make you sick.

cj - I'm going on vacation in Sept, and we'll be staying at a marriott part of the time. I'll check their beds out. If Wally sleeps well in one, I think we might be getting a new bed for each other for Christmas.

The Marriott Bed by Jamison Bedding
What distinguishes The Marriott Bed from its hotel chain competition is that instead of being an inner spring mattress it is instead, a foam mattress. Although the Marriott organization still utilizes up to four different beds on their various properties, the bed that has become known as The Marriott Bed within the hotel and bedding industries is a 9 inch foam mattress made of high density open cell poured polyurethane. (Boy! Is that ever a mouthful!). It replaces a similar 7” mattress that was in use from between 2000 - 2005.

Polyurethane is one of three different foams used in bed construction and in general is the least costly. The other two types being, visco-elastic (Tempurpedic) and natural latex (various brands).

While it responds to the contours of your body, it is less responsive to body heat and not as heat reflective. Most everyone has heard stories about people waking in a sweat on their Tempurpedic mattress. The truth is that some people experience this situation and some don’t. But, in general open cell polyurethane exhibits this characteristic much less frequently if at all.
