Any place in Sto Dgo or Santiago sell premium beds, like Sleep Number or similar?
It's been 15 years ago that I was in the market for a new bed and did in-home trials of four high-end mattresses: traditional spring (Serta), pocket spring (Simmons), memory foam (Tempurpedic) and the sleep number bed.
All were over $2000.
I spent two weeks on each.
At the end there was one clear winner by a mile: the pocket spring mattress with two layers of memory foam over pocket springs. To this day it offers the best sleep. They call it "plush". It's hard to describe what firm but soft feels like. The beauty of pocket springs is that someone can jump on one side of the bed and you can't feel it on the other side.
The memory foam was very warm even with a/c blasting. The traditional spring bed was kinda hard and did not conform to my body, like most hotel beds. I'd wake up sore and have to change positions. The sleep number was unimpressive, like a fancy air mattress.
I had a waterbed with baffles 40 years ago. Loved it, exceptt when the heater crapped out.
That is a pocket spring mattress.I bought a Pillowtop recently and all the reviews by those who've slept or napped on it rave about it. It's 16in. in depth and both bottom and top are "pillow topped". Additionally, the person sleeping next to you, if there is one, can toss and turn without affecting your REM.
That is a pocket spring mattress.
I have no idea.Pocket spring mattresses are very nice.
To the group, in the US, lots of smaller stores like to "haggle" on prices, much like at a car dealership. Is it the same way in DR, or is there just a fixed price?
What would you consider to be the difference in price range in the DR for, say, a mid-range plush (firm pillow top) mattress which would cost $1,000 if you bought it at Macy's?

I have seen Simmons stores in two locations in Santiago. Never checked on price. I brought my mattresses with my personal belongings. We had a bed from Price Smart before, but can't remember the price. It wasn't a lot, but neither was the bed.
Thanks , didn't know that; it is very comfortable though.That is a pocket spring mattress.
