Thank you for sharing. That helps a lot! Has it softened up at all? Or is it just as supportive?
Thanks!
There is some "give" since 2010 but not much. We have flipped/rotated as required and have had no issues. It's a big beast to move around so have extra hands around when you do this. Overall, I have very happy with the mattress and would do it all over again. My daughter needs a new mattress and I will be pushing this brand on her
Shifman builds an excellent product. Along with Royal Pedic, I think they are the best beds in the country.

decollate,
Can you or anyone respond as to the firmness of the Shifman Cezzanne mattress (formerly top of the line in the Masters Collection) and whether this mattress is suitable for side sleeping?
I'm currently doing research on a new bed since mine is 10 years old and has that "ridge" that Duane mentioned. We currently have a Kluft bed. It's a few months away from the 10 year mark so I guess it's used up now?
We really loved the bed but it's done. I would like to look at Royal Pedic just to compare it to Kluft, and Shifman. Blomingdales carried both of these brands and they do have good sales going a few times a year. Is there anything particular I should be looking for?
Hi Judy, you are so close to the main showroom of Royal Pedic in Beverly Hills why not just make a trip over there and talk to either Tony (the owner) or Charlotte about them?
Yes, the ridge in the middle means the bed is done. Finis.
Bloomingdales may be the most expensive place around to buy a premium bed. Their 'sales' are not as good as everyday prices from little mom n' pop stores like mine. In fact, I lost my Shifman account because I was undercutting Bloomie's prices so severely that they complained to Mike Hammer, owner of Shipman and said "Its either The Keeping Room or us, pick one!" Of course, Bloomie's won that one - but I used to sell a lot of Shifmans. Royal Pedic is built the same way as their Master's Collection.

Hi Duane, thanks for your reply.
We bought our mattress at a local chain. If the depression in the mattress is 1 1/2" or more they say that it is defective. Ours is 1 3/8ths. The store is contacting the manufacturer to see if they will cover it since we are only 1/8th off. We both kind of doubt that anything will be done with a warranty now so close to the 10 year end. It's doubtful, but you never know.
We will have to go and check out Royal Pedic. No one anywhere close to us carries them so a day trip into L.A. will be the next thing we will have to do.
I doubt at 10 years if they will warranty it, but you never know. Most every warranty I have ever read on bedding excludes compression as its normal wear and tear - but you may get lucky.

One thing you will find about the Royal Pedics and Shifman brands (and there are others) is that because they are made of cotton instead of foam, they never ridge. NEVER. You do need to flip them every 4 to 6 months like any mattress, but they maintain their form even when 15 to 20 years old. I replace my mattress appx every 15 to 17 years, just because its time. On the cotton beds, when they get that old they lose some overall firmness but otherwise look fine. You really can't tell until you have a new one in the house and that's when you notice it. Some people use the all-cottons past 20 years, but really its time to replace them at that 15 year mark at the latest, I feel. My current Royal Pedic is 2 years old, the one before it was 16 years.
