Re: going mattress shopping.. opinions??
One thing that I didn't consider until after my back surgery a couple of years ago is the WEIGHT of a mattress when we need to change/make the bed once a week. Three years ago we bought a nice, thick, super comfy and HEAVY traditional mattress. As we get older, a fat, heavy mattress like mine will become more and more difficult to lift to tuck sheets under (we have a "sleigh" bed that requires some lifting of the mattress to tuck the sheet under it. Getting a different frame that doesn't surround the mattress could be one solution for us.)
Anyway, I was wondering if the "Sleep Number" mattress is as heavy as a traditional thick mattress - is it easy to lift the corners to make the bed?
