I put this in this forum cause its under health =]

anyway, it's about time I got a new mattress. I don't know what I'm supposed to look for. I've slept on a tempurpedic before but it's only good for sleeping... nothing anything else.. you girls know what i'm talking about

what are brands that are known to last longer/better sleep technology and etc?

thanks everyone

I have a sleep number Select Comfort bed. It's a king so it has the 2 sides so you can have 2 separate numbers. I like it for that reason (hubby likes firm, I like soft) but it also keeps him on his side of the bed instead of ending up on my side and leaving me with like a foot of mattress! It really wasn't much different in price than a high quality mattress. I think we paid $1800 plus we got it for 12 months no interest no payments which was nice. I believe it has a 20 yr. warrenty. We've had it for about 5 years, no troubles. And I like that I can change the softness. When I'm big and pregnant I might want it firmer.

20 year warranty? what type of mattress is it? is it foam? cause the reason why i'm replacing mine now is cause its already doubled it's weight cause of the dustmites. it's been about 8 years already i think

i sleep on a tempurpedic, and it's the best sleep i've ever gotten. i can also do other things perfectly fine on it. like... reading! you'll have to readjust to it at first, but after a while, you'll learn to read on it just fine.

Seely (?) posturepedic.
byebye backaches

i've gotten horrible leg cramps with it before. that's why i had to pass but the sleep was great lol

We've got a Sealy Posturepedic and it's comfy. Tried a Sleep Number bed in a hotel in Philly recently and it wasn't for me, but that was because I didn't like climbing into it like a waterbed. It could have just been a weird bedframe though; perhaps Sleep Numbers don't usually come with the weird frame?

I bought a Sealy Paddington, its aka Teddy Bear Bed, its so soft and huge pillowtop made of feathers and silk and some of that memory foam, i try my best not to sit near my bed often because once i lie on it i'm gone.

We have a Sleep Number and I like it a lot - I tried out all of the Tempurpedic beds, but they were all too hard for me (except for the $7,000 one LOL)

We have a mattress by Kings Down and it is the most amazing mattress ever... but it was pretty pricey, I dont know what your budget is.

Well, if you see one in a mattress store definitely lay down on it. It is soo soft. For the first time in my life I can no sleep on my back! (I think it was around $3000 for the complete set, but it is also a California King and they had to make it special for us because they don't normally stock that size).

The air chambers are made of canvas. The cover is a mattress like material and it's REPLACABLE! So, if it gets icky you can just buy a new one for a few hundred I think..... I keep mine covered with a waterproof pad (dogs). Plus you can get the feather down pads that go on top etc. Lots of options. Check out their website.
