Way, way south.
Good topic, as our mattress has seen better days and we'll be in the market within the next few months.

That one that RR Becca got (Sealy version of the Tempurpedic) sounds like what I'd like to get.

Any more opinions?

Can't remember what ours is but hate it. Wore out very quickly. We even tried bought of those memory foam toppers for it and neither one of us liked it - couldn't roll over easily and had a hard time getting out of fed LOL. The memory foam topper has now become additional stuffing/padding in my reclining sofa and the remainder will be used as insulation

I'm not sure if there are different levels of Sleep Number beds, but the one that was abandoned at my house when I bought it a few years ago was garbage. It was only marginally more comfortable than sleeping on the floor. If there are different levels, I am guessing that this was the one that was shipped to third world countries because it was horrible. I did manage to sell it for $300 and probably could have gotten more for it.

I bought a Simmons mattress and it is fine. If you choose to save some money by taking it home yourself in the back of your truck, I recommend double checking the tie down straps before heading down the highway eek

Does anyone else flip and rotate their mattress regularly? That will extend the mattress life.

Yes, I do. It's quite comical do see me try and flip and rotate a king sized mattress all on my own. I've came close to taking down the ceiling fan before. blush

I do flip and/or rotate my mattress about every 2 months. Half the time I sleep on the couch though, which also extends the life of the mattress (but I'm sure it is shortening the life of the couch).

I was forced to sleep on that hot, difficult to move in Tempurpedic foam stuff for a dozen years....when I could I went back to the top of the line Sterns and Foster box and mattress last year.

I now have my last mattress. This one will last me until I get to the nursing home.

What amazes me is how people are afraid to spend good money on a mattress. People will spend 15-20k on a car without flinching, which they spend anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours a day in and keep 3-6 years, but are not willing to pay 3-5k for a good mattress that they will spend a third of their day in and seem to keep for 10 years or better.

It is a good nights sleep, it is your energy level and it is your back... a good mattress is a whorth while investment.

Dork.

Mrs. Gilmore told me how you could get an extra 10 minutes out of it, if your interested.

We flipped ours over the weekend, but I'm not good about keeping up with it. Our mattress is almost 10 years old and I think it's almost time. I'm trying to put it off, though; however I do plan on buying a good one when the time comes. JJ - I still think $3,000-$5,000 would be a bit much.

Tempurpedic. All the way!!

Spring for the Tempurpedic pillows too. They're expensive, but worth it if you think of how many sleeping hours you spend in bed. Hubby and I used to both wake up with lots of aches, pains, and headaches before we got our Tempurpedic.

OK
My mattress is probably 25+ years old. It has held up fairly well, but it is also time for a new one. I just can't decide which kind I would like. I love the memory pillows, but for some reason after time they seem to flatten out some. I have always wondered if the mattresses do the same.

Got one - hate it! There are different firmness settings (which is why people get it, so each can be comfortable). They do that by having separate air cushions for each person in queen and king sizes. Problem, if the person on the firmer side crosses the middle, it's a downhill slide, and if the differences are enough, the person on the softer side wakes-up and the violator has to try and climb up to their side again.

It's not fun, and it definitely cuts down on closeness (if the occupants have different sleep number settings). Good part, if we go with a different mattress, we can use the sleep number as expensive floaties.

Bought a Stearns & Foster mattress and box springs a few years ago. Expensive, but the best money I've ever spent. You can't flip it - the mattress is not reversible, but I do rotate it every six months or so. You can't tell from looking at it that it's ever been slept in. Firm enough for my bad back, but enough give to be comfortable.
