The W Hotels Store is running a 35% off sale on beds and bedding through August 27 with coupon code JM35R.
I bought my own bed with a 40% discount — something I haven’t seen since March of last year but that was much more common between 2006 and 2009. And I got in before the May 2010 price increase.
I bought my Queen Plush Top bed and frame for $720 all-in, free shipping and no sales tax. The same purchase today, with this deal (so after price increase and a smaller discount) would be $978.
Still, I’ve been happy with the purchase. It’s a good bed, I’ve had it for five years now, and 35% off seems a pretty good deal.
I do recommend the plush top rather than the pillow top, augment it with a feather bed. You can change out the feather bed. But reports of the pillow top mattress are that it develops a memory quickly, or rather it wears out quickly.
Pillows are the same as in Westins?
I really love the Westin Heavenly Bed (I have a queen, want to move to a king). But I haven’t seen them on sale in a while. I’m not as familiar with the W bed (prefer Westin’s), but I was wondering if you could compare the two?
The main reason people complain of developing “mattress memory” is that they do not rotate the mattress. For the first year, I recommend rotating the mattress from top to bottom and then bottom to top every three months. After a year, I would rotate/flip the mattress every six months. Th easy way to understand mattress rotation is to move the mattress so the tag is moved to the top of the bed(and then back down to the bottom of the bed with another rotation). This will make your mattress last for years and provide a much more comfortable bed.
The W pillow top bed is akin to the Westin Heavenly Bed which is a Simmons Beauty Rest pillow top mattress.
