TempurPedic.
You'll just need to put extra pillows under her butt or stomach to really hit it.
Here you go - 2nd page towards the top. Poster with the knowledge is Montanaskier but there is a lot of good advice from everyone

Awesome.....
$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.

1500? are you that much of a princess ?
I supose YMMV but I spent the money on skis/bikes kayaks and continued to sleep on the futon from the family room that I was thrown out with for many years
Bought a cloud supreme 4 years ago. Love it. Wish i could bring it back and forth to the fire station...Shit beds here...
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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

Probably end up with two twins on a single frame/boxspring so that we each get the mattress we prefer.
Sleep number! Just ask Lindsay Wagner.Quote:

This. Be warned, it is much much harder to sleep anywhere else once you own a tempurdic. Nothing feels quite like it.Quote:

I was in this position a few months ago and I've been really happy with my latex mattress so far. The beautyrest was my other choice, but opted for the latex mostly for durability - no sag. Good mix of comfort and support without getting the sinking/molding feel of memory foam.
I once worked with this Korean nurse and her husband bought her a Duxiana mattress set, it was like $10,000. She was probably worth it though.

This. It's one third of your life, and it's your fun platform, too.Quote:

Try a sleep number, i luv mine.
Soft or firm when i need it plus there is trampoline sex mode.
Not really but it sounds kewl.

6 years later and our Serta Prefect Day is still one of the best investments we've made. Check them out at your local mattress showroom when you're out test driving some different options. Not cheap but totally worth it.

Kind of random but I just ordered one of these. https://caspersleep.com/
Been getting lots of press lately and $850 for a queen with a 40 return policy seemed like a good bet.
tempur-pedic for me, love that thing. despite the recreational disadvantage.
I need a mattress for a guest room with access only by a tight winding staircase, been wondering how the fuck I was gonna get one up there, the way they "compress ship" those looks like it might be just the ticket. report back when you get it please. thanks for the heads up.Quote:

Thanks for posting that mcsquared!
edit: yeah I see they're back-ordered, oh well it's not a crisis.
We love our Tempurpedic knockoff--Angelbed. Very easy on the back. A big side benefit--I go to sleep a lot later than my wife--with memory foam she doesn't feel it when I get into bed (insert crude joke here). She wishes we had one all along, when I was working and getting called in or coming home in the middle of the night. Costco sells a memory foam mattress that's much cheaper than tempurpedic and is rated high by CR.
MC Squared--while you can get the mattress up the stairs you still have to get some kind of platform up there too. You don't need a box spring (I'm not sure any kind of mattress does) but you need something flat and rigid to lay it on, unless you put it on the floor. Our mattress came with a frame that we assembled in the room and a bunch of slats held together by cloth tapes that could be unrolled in the room--a lot more slats than with a conventional bed--4 inch slats about 6 inches apart.
I like a soft mattress and have Tempurpedic and a Beautyrest pillow top with foam underliner. i like the pillowtop better. No particular reason...maybe middle back support.
Slept on a horsehair mattress a few years back. Very dense, relatively thin, and laid directly on the floor; great for the back. Not into harvesting horsehair so probably wouldn't get one, but comfortable if you like firm.

How are you going to get it back down the stairs if you don't like it? :fmicon:Quote:

^^^^ Funny. Hey Iceman, if you haven't ordered yet look at this: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Dream...latex+mattress
We bought a Queen size for the guest room in a 4 firmness and that bed is so comfortable, everyone loves it. We have had it a year now and no problems.
I'd go the other way for a guest bedroom.
