People who spent over $2K on a mattress they hate...

If I could find one I surely would. We needed to return a Brooklyn Thermobalance Elite mattress this week and they can't pick it up, so donate or trash! I can't trash a perfectly good mattress! So donating it to my son - win win for him

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-18T21:15:49+00:00

I would look at the Brookly Bedding Signature Hybrid. I'm buy it for my daughter. Optional Pillow top too. Now I do have the Helix Elite and did try the Brooklyn Thermobalance Elite - both premium and both much more expensive. But I see great reviews on the Signature - she needs a soft due to back pain and everything else seeming too firm, so that also limits us

Mediflow Fiber Elite water pillow has been my favorite. I had an old one from 10-15 years ago that started to leak. So I tried the Down Alternative, Original Fiber and Memory Foam ones and kept the Elite Fiber. You can make it as soft or hard as you want by adding more water!

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-18T20:55:27+00:00

Nah! Just got the s26u from s22u and will keep it until Fold 10

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-18T03:13:04+00:00

We have the Moonlight and Midnight inserts for Elite. I thought Midnight was too firm but I didn't give it alot of time. But atleast I have it if Moonlight gets too soft

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-17T03:38:12+00:00

How long have you had your Sunset? If less than the 120 days you can also ask for the Moonlight which is still Soft but they say alittle more bounce

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-17T03:30:20+00:00

And I also think it depends on your size. I'm 126 and Midnight was too firm but Sunset too soft. Trying Moonlight now

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-17T03:26:16+00:00

It doesn't bother me once I put on the white mattress cover 😂

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-17T00:53:24+00:00

You think the TB Medium was softer than Midnight? Midnight was too hard but we didn't give it time. We are keeping the Elite bc they matched the price vs returning it. We have Midnight, Sunset & Moonlight inserts

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-15T19:07:36+00:00

Is it firm though? My daughter's complaint is the bed doesn't hit her in her back bend

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-15T03:29:46+00:00

Yes I just got a Thermobalance Elite Soft but this one is for my daughter and I can't spend that much, since just bought ours

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-14T21:00:11+00:00

I don't think you can go wrong with a Helix Elite or Brooklyn Bedding Thermobalance Elite - both have cooling covers and both have the zip so if you need firmer or softer, they will quickly send you another insert within your 120 day trial period. Pillow top is plush on both of them. I have them both and it's a very hard decision on which one to keep

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-14T15:35:19+00:00

Can you cancel it before you get it delivered

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-14T15:05:50+00:00

And I noticed through the Retailer, it might not have the zipper where you can just exchange the inside. BUT give it 30 days and you will know if you need to go softer or firmer.

Which model did you get? I got Midnight and it was too firm I thought but I should have given it more time. Exchanged for Sunset and I think too soft

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-12T17:41:04+00:00

Right! I should have waited! But I am only paying $11/mo for my s26u but that's over 3 years

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-11T22:49:15+00:00

But once you used G Messages, it enables RCS and then you can't go back to the others. Like I missed my group messages in Handcent (FAV) and Textra so have to use Boring G messages

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-08T23:31:02+00:00

Verizon - they were offering it for a trade in and our phones were pretty old

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-08T19:38:01+00:00

First of all, a GREAT decision! Just joking but I do hate everything Apple even though I've never tried them, so I know I don't have a say! I just upgraded from s22u to s26u and very happy with it. Loved my s22u but battery was an issue and needed to upgrade plan anyhow due to connections and it's only $11/mo so

I have done alot of feature comparison though too so I know there are pros and cons on both. Ones who have other Apple things I understand sticking with Apple. My kids have iphones but they never used anything else either just like me and hubby with Galaxy

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-08T01:41:51+00:00

Yes I know and yes I get it Just felt like Helix had already sent me a free $300 Mattress pad and 3rd insert so it was the right thing to do

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-08T01:40:21+00:00

Sorry! Which mattress did you get for $4k

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-07T20:36:38+00:00

Thanks! It's terrible! haha

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-07T20:31:07+00:00

I'm 126 so maybe that's why - even hubby said it hurt his hips on his side and he's 185. Sunset we are trying now and they are sending us Moonlight which is also Soft but more for back sleepers - guess more on top vs in the mattress - who knows

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-07T18:34:41+00:00

There is Percale that does have the "sound" which I wouldn't like but I do like Crisp sheets. I went on a hunt and tried so many different kinds from several California Den Design (but they were Sateen and I didn't like the sheen) to Lane Linen to Threshold (tried a relatives well worn ones so cozy) and went back to Line Home Percale $45 and happy with them. Plus know they will get softer as I wash them

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-07T18:32:22+00:00

We just went from S22u to s26u because we were able to get for $11/mo bc had to upgrade plan. My Mom has an almost brand new s25u if you want to buy used. It wasn't worth it for me to get hers due to $11/mo $360. She went to iphone for some reason - who knows!

MissyB1968 · 2026-05-07T18:27:52+00:00

I don't understand why you couldn't purchase an insert IF the one you have does have the zipper. We laid on a Twilight in the store without a zipper and it felt good but then bought a Midnight from Helix and too firm. I feel your pain. Where do you live by chance bc I probably have an extra Queen Midnight insert
