We first started paying attention to the whole mattress debate three years ago when a good friend chucked their old bed, did a ton of research and then chose the EXPENSIVE Dux Bed. This is the cream of the crop.
Readers consistently give these mattresses high quality, high price and high service votes.
A Swedish design (those pesky Swedes....), the Dux Bed claims its fame from the huge multiple of springs in each mattress: 3,600 springs compared to the up to 900 springs found in conventional queen-size mattresses. This allows you just the right amount of firmness and softness so that your spine is straight and not bent.
Friends of mine got a Dux several years ago. It never felt that outrageous to me, but they said you really had to sleep on it every night to appreciate it.
Also, The Dux stores have small "nap rooms" that you can reserve so that you can actually test out the mattresses before you buy one!
My parents have it and are 100% not satisfied with any OTHER mattress since. They both had back problems and this bed has been a tremendous help to them. They have had it for 14 years now and it still feels brand new.
I bought the Duxiana about seven or eight years ago
in Los Angeles. It wasn't bad, but it was not any better
than a premium 'pillow top' mattress that you can get
for half the money. As I recall, the Dux was about $3,000 at that time. I don't use it anymore, preferring
a foam mattress on a platform bed.
Hastens....now THAT'S a mattress. Another Swedish one and really amazing. See Mads (that's his name) at ABC Carpet.
I sell Hastens, Carpe Diem Beds of Sweden, and Tempurpedic and I am very familiar with Dux. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone might have even if they are not purchasing anything from one of my stores.
Feel free to email, but put the word "mattress" in the subject so that I don't think it's junk mail.

We recently purchased a Carpe Diem mattress from your store and are waiting for the delivery.
Since it has the legs and headboard, how do I decorate the bed?
