    I need a new mattress

    What's good? Traditional Sealy or whatever, or is there a new type of mattress I haven't tried?
    I could spend 1500+. Queen.

    somewhere on this board is a very large thread dedicated to this very subject. If I recall correctly there is a maggot here who sells (or did sell) mattresses. His recommendation, and mine, is a Beautyrest. I got the Camille year before last and love it.

        You'll just need to put extra pillows under her butt or stomach to really hit it.

              $1500 for a mattress is one-percenter territory Benny. will you be able to sleep knowing that the masses have less comfort?

                Have you thought about shredding your cash (for security - you can always tape them together again later to recover the $) and stuffing it in a sack to sleep on? Much safer than investing you know.

                        I use my mattress for 8 hours a day every day. Even if you ski bell-to-bell 100 days a year you're never going to rack up the same hours. Fuck yeah a good mattress is worth every bit as much as a good pair of skis w/binders, and will last you longer... and works for 2 people.

                        $1500 is cheap by comparison.

                        We also went with a firm beauty rest thanks to that thread. I love my bed. Pro-tip: invest in good pillows & sheets too.

                          You Sir have a back of steel. I know ppl like you - they can sleep on anything. Me, I'm not so lucky. Slept on a crap mattress for years. It wasn't so much a mattress as a cruel joke. Got to the point that I dreaded going to bed at night and woke up with a backache every day so after reading through the above linked thread I spent the better part of a week trying out mattresses at the local store (in Oregon - no tax baby!) and finally decided on the Beautyrest. In the end I spent $1200 and I'm glad I did. As I said.. I'm not as lucky as you.

                            Futon, double thick straight cotton on the floor is the way to go for us.

                            Yeah it's totally prol, but it gives excellent back support.

                            When I have to do hotels, that's when I wake with ache.

                            I force the 10s of ski zealots that stay with us every year to follow suit.

                              I slept on futons for 2 decades before I got married... then the wife said "NEIN." I insisted on as firm as possible mattress - no pillow top BS. We found our commonality.
