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?

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

RR Becca - I think that is the iComfort. Yeah, that sounds right. I remember thinking it was an odd name.

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

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.

Hoosierland - I read your post too quickly. I thought you said 'We got the "basic" one because it felt the best to the 3 of us. Ha! That's almost as good as 'mistress shopping'. So did I! 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.

JJ - I sleep about 4 hours per night...so should i only spend 800-1000 for mine, since it is 1/6th of a day instead of 1/3?

Most would like to keep their mattress past tuesday.

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.

Sleep number, would not buy another. to many broken and repaired parts (even under warrentee who need the issues) 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.
