    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.

    TempurPedic.
    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.

    I'm in your camp, XXX-er. If it wasn't for the ladies in my life, I'd still be on a thin sleeping mat on the floor. My wife has been longing for a more plush mattress than our current futon; we'll easily spend 1500+ to make her and I both happy. Probably end up with two twins on a single frame/boxspring so that we each get the mattress we prefer.

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

    And if you need to sneak out or stumble in during the night, you wont wake anyone else in there.
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    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.

    Just watched a video on the cloud supreme. Sounds interesting, but even more than my princess budget, and I don't like the heavy and unwieldy "box", or platform underneath. I'll try it anyway.
