Best mattress for the money

[Kiel]

I'm under the assumption my 5 year old mattress is done and it is the cause of my back pain in the morning. When I go out of town and sleep even on a crappy hotel mattress, almost no pain. Come back home, and I can't even really reach over for a couple minutes. Any recommendations? It seems like people like sleep number beds and that could be great to firm up the mattress if needed. Other people seem to like memory foam, but it tends to be hot, and I hate to be hot at night. Ok Go!

Sleep number here. I was in the same boat as you until I bought it.

Sleep number has changed my life. I read a Consumer Report recently that said it doesn't matter what one you buy either, I have owned 2 of the more base models and now have one of the upper end ones. I sleep on the couch when I go to my house in Kanab, I will be buying a bed for down there soon. I have a herniated L3 disc and I credit my bed for my ability to function, I have owned one for the last 9 years.

I'm in need of a new one myself, I'd love a sleep number. I'm told by a few family members IKEA mattress's rock for the money, may not last as long but cheap enough to replace a little more frequently

Sleep number here as well.
If I were to do it again, I'd buy just the mattress and use it on my old foundation.

We have a knock-off memory foam mattress from RCW. Health care was the brand name. It was $1100 for the King and is equivalent to the tempurpedic cloud. We've had it for 5-6 years and it completely changed my sleep. I used to have to roll over in the night cause my hips would hurt from laying on one side. Not with memory foam. Sometimes I think it's losing it's awesomeness but then I sleep in a hotel (or rather don't sleep) and I realize I'm just accustomed to the awesomeness.

Memory foam here, I got a Christeli and like it a lot.

We got a 10" Sleep Innovations memory foam from Amazon. $425 for a king sized. 7" base foam and 3" top foam. Has cool cell technology, doesn't heat up. Super comfortable, 20 year warranty, made in USA. We've had it for 4 years, love it.

Sleep number here too. We were both starting to have back pain from a 6 year old mattress. No more. We will get one in our camper someday. It also never gets hot.

I have a memory foam mattress... hated it for about two weeks. Now I don't like sleeping on normal mattresses.

I have a serta i-comfort and am very impressed. My wife and i had pain as well and it disappeared.

Memory foam in our room. I wish we would have gotten the more firm version, I sink into the bed too much. When the mattress is cool its firm but as it warms up it gets soft. If I can get to bed and fall right asleep I'm fine but if I mess around on my phone or the dog has been laying on my side its kind of an ordeal for me to get comfortable.

I have a memory foam mattress that I bought from Costco about a year ago. Love that thing! Takes a little getting use to but its very nice IMO.

My wife made me go to a memory foam one a few years back, I think I slept better on the Beautyrest I had before.

I had a sleep number for a few years. Did not like it.
you get a line or crease in the middle between the two sides.

 

[Cascadia]

That's the whole point. So you aren't on the same setting as your wife. Or if you like the same setting then fine. Ours has 3" of memory foam built on the top and you don't cave in the middle at all. I'm sure it's all preference though.

we have had a sleep number for about 5 years, extremely happy with it. We had a nice thicker pillow top real soft bed, worked for my wife but I couldn't stand it. The sleep number is so much nice since I like a little firmer bed than my wife, we got one with the smaller pillow top out of all of them, like a 1-1/2" I believe. If the pillow top gets warn, they will replace it for free I believe, thats what we were told the other day.

I just brought this bed on a Amazon lightning deal for 288$ for a queen Sleep Innovations 10-Inch SureTemp Memory Foam Mattress With 20-Year Warranty, with 2-Bonus Memory Foam Pillows, Queen Size. I then added a Isotonic Structure 6 Zone Memory Foam Queen Mattress Topper. This is by far the best sleeping setup I have tried. This type of mattress is very different then a usual mattress. It is very firm but then your body sinks in and distributes the pressure. I really like sleep numbers, but never could pull the trigger on one because of the price.
