We had one and it was nice but could never agree on firmness levels when we looked to upgrade. That's what sent us to the sleep number.
It's something that when we travel we can agree on who will or will not get a good night's sleep

She sleeps on the couch A LOT! I'm a super light sleeper, she can sleep anywhere. She's kind enough to take her snoring elsewhere!
We are in need of an upgrade. Talking me right into this sleep number game. Someone post a link when they go on sale for about 95% off. Lol
Yep...they're proud of em. Almost 14K for a dual king.
Seems very unrealistic to me. Not when groceries and electric doubled in a year! Sorry kids, we eating Ramen because dad has to make his bed payment
You spend more time in your bed than you do your truck. What do you spend on those?Seems very unrealistic to me. Not when groceries and electric doubled in a year! Sorry kids, we eating Ramen because dad has to make his bed payment

In the past ten years Jessica and I have purchased two memory foam pillow top mattresses that ran about 1-1.5k each. Both well know brands, both fucking garbage. Both of them developed a rise in the middle within a couple of years. They have coil springs but they're the kind that can be rolled up and delivered. The traditional coil spring mattress before that lasted for 15 years and was largely still fine. My next mattress will be an old-school coil spring pillowtop construction. That is IF we can even find one anymore. Most are made in China and rolled then vacuum sealed and put in a box.
The ones that roll up are weaker by design, so they can can be rolled up. The orginal mattress factory beds are made in America, we have a pillow top, true 2 sided mattress that can be rotated and flipped. Our last one lasted about 11 years and with my big butt that is saying something. I think the closest one to you is the suburbs of Atlanta, but they will ship. They are also the top rated mattress by consumer reports.

Thanks. I hadn't looked into it yet. I thought the original mattress factory was only around the ohio area. Good to know. It's crazy that you have to go to those lengths to find what should be a traditional mattress.
We had an OMF deluxe king mattress that lasted 4 years, and yes we flipped and rotated per the manufactures recommendations. It was a good mattress for about three years, but it was a total piece of junk when we replaced it. I don't really trust Consumer Reports any longer after reading a few of their house paint ratings in which Benjamin Moore never made the cut, but Behr was the best every time. I know that is not the case in real life. Money talks. If you want to find out what is the best bedding for you, talk to your Chiropractor or ortho doctor about it. A truly good nights' sleep is probably the most important health consideration that most people don't take seriously. I'm not saying you have to spend $15K to get that, but I doubt you will get it for much less over the long haul. I just don't mind spending $80 a month for the best sleep of my life in spite of my bad back and hips. Life is all about priorities, and restful, comfortable sleep is at or near the top for me.
If all that is true and we spend thousands on top of thousands on medical coverage, why isn't this covered by insurance? If a medical Profesional is who I need to talk to about what I need, it should be covered. Or is it and I'm missing out?
