Greatest mattress on earth. I bought a pillow top with lambswool after my last mattress nearly paralyzed me. I wonder if that model is still made?

Huge fan !!! Handmade quality product that gives you the best nights sleep!!! Why sleep on something ordinary when you can sleep on a Shifman? Do the right thing and spoil yourself! Feels good to feel good

We purchased a mattress from the Shifman Handmade collection to try after suffering from back pain for many years from mass-produced, commercial brands. Shifman's handmade mattress has corrected our back pain nearly completely. I wake up in the morning feeling almost totally refreshed. Accordingly, we have purchased a second mattress for another family member. His back has improved as well. The quality of Shifman's Handmade collection is extraordinary. Having slept on high-quality mattresses in Europe, I can say that Shifman's quality meets or exceeds its most storied European counterparts. Additionally

Although a depression of even one inch should not appear in the finest mattress, there is no way Shifman can tell from the photographs that the depressions

We were assured that this was a top of the line product and we would have many years of use for this investment. After about 5 years the mattress is sagging to the middle and the box spring squeaks. When we contacted Shifman, they referred us to the store where we bought it. They arranged for the factory rep to come and look at it which he agreed to do after
