I am considering trying a foam mattress.I am about 220lbs and I prefer as firm as possible. There are so many brands selling them online now. leaning towards Polysleep. Was looking for any recommendations for brands that folks have had for a while and happy with.Thanks in advance

I just saw an ad for Endy mattresses, and was going to come and ask if anyone had purchased one.

We tried an Endy and my husband hated it. And I admit it really wasn't that comfortable. Sent it back and went with Logan & Cove and are very happy with it. Had it over a year and would recommend.

Check out the Wayfair Canada web site. Pick your size, thickness, comfort level, and type (memory foam or gel foam). We bought one about 3 years ago, loved it so much we bought a second one for another bedroom.

Buy local if possible. Check out the web pages of the local bed store here in Brandon first. If that fails then check out the Wayfair site.

The IKEA Haugsvar King mattress and an IKEA king size frame and are very satisfied with both. The mattress is a hybrid style and comes in in 3 kinds of firmness to suit your tastes. We are big people and wanted the firm style and it’s very comfortable for us.  
Our daughter and husband chose the Douglas king mattress in medium firm and like it equally as well. Different companies but essentially the same type of mattress..each needs to fully expand for 60-72 hours before sleeping on it. Both are similarly priced. Pic are of the IKEA bed. Thking frame comes in two pieces..it is very well constructed and easy to assemble

We got a king-sized Bloom mattress from Sleep Country (in the Corral Centre) and love it.

from Sleep Country is what we have had for a year and a half.

We just got a Douglas Bed in a box and we love it! Can't even feel hubby move around and its fairly firm. Can't beat the price, delivered the same week we ordered it and has a 120 trail so if we don't like it they pick it back up!  
 
My daughter got a Lexi from Dufrense and she also loves that as well, a bit softer than the Douglas.

I'm looking for a new bed and am just wondering what is it that you choose to buy on line rather then in store beds ? Just curious . I 'm leaning towards store purchase extra firm not sure where I'm going yet .

Just curious why you feel you need to purchase in a store... All the bed in a box brands i:nclude usually a 100 or 120 night guarantee. If you don't love it they pick it up and give your money back. Laying on 15 mattresses in a store then picking one doesn't mean you will enjoy your sleep on it anymore.

Just asking thought maybe some other perks buying on line .Others reasons I purchase in store no credit card and it's what I've always done .

Not sure what perks there are in store but online you can sit at home read reviews, watch YouTube reviews and be a more informed shopper. No sales pressure to buy. Most offer a very generous return policy if you decide its not for you. Prices online are usually better. More selection.  
 
As for no credit card there are several options to get a card similar to a credit card. Lots of banks offer Visa Debit which allows you to purchase online with a card similar to a credit card but it is directly withdrawn from your bank account. One that comes to mind is Tangerine bank. They offer free bank accounts and your debit card is a Visa debit so you can use it online or anywhere credit cards are accepted.

or order the Prepaid Koho Visa and get cash back. No credit check. Only they identify you by a form of gov't ID you email to them. I shop, pay bills, shop online. Never been an issue, and they load payroll EFTs to it, and have optional "round up" savings plans built in.  
 
You can load about $10,000 onto it using e-transfers and money is on card in minutes! There is never any transaction fee to own, use, renew, or take out cash. Even give a good foreign exchange rate if used across border, or online.  
Use my link and get additional cash back if purchases made within 90 days:

When you apply, they send you a virtual credit card number right away that you can use asap before your card arrives in mail. Enjoy!

Your confusing your opinion with actual facts. Some people still believe facts over opinion. You may not be one of those people, but I am. YouTube videos are not a substitute for the real thing as they are just an opinion that could be either right or wrong. Another example of the google world some of us live in. Seems to me, I prefer actual hands on experience over what some other person may like, or not like. I sure could be wrong, as there may be more to it than that.

No actually I am not. There are many advantages to being able to do your own research rather than have to rely on what a salesperson who is paid commission to sell you something. Clearly I never said you would just rely on a YouTube videos.  
 
Even a smart consumer who is buying in person a larger valued item would do a little research on their own before going in person. But then your response was never about buying something online versus in person or added anything to the discussion as usual you just wanted to disagree and argue like every other time you reply here eh tlr?
