I like firm mattresses but I accidentally ordered a super firm one by DrHard. It felt a lot like I was sleeping on the kitchen floor with a thin rug under me. Due to certain events happening at the time I could not return the mattress. But later I bought a Saatva mattress topper which magically changed the mattress into a cloud. I also have a Casper memory foam mattress which I find is way too soft for me but my daughter loves it. So I keep it on one bed for her. It really depends on what you like and if you are a hot sleeper or not etc.

I used to wear out top mattresses in 3 years. I could feel the springs in my ribs. I bought a sleep number 18 years ago and it still feels great. My wife likes a pillow top, so she uses an insert and changes it every 4 to 5 years. It can be dismantled and laundered.

Any part of a sleep number can be individually replaced if needed. We just have not needed it.

Get the entry level Sleep Number (C2?).

We have a Nectar Hybrid and it’s the best mattress we’ve owned.

Got the free pillow, which was a pretty nice one (and expensive, retail was something stupid like $80) and my $10 check a month later.

But I really liked the mattress. And hubby and I were in the market for a new mattress, so I dragged him to the SleepNumber store and we ended up buying the lower-end model, the C4, plus a simple frame and a quilted mattress cover. They were having a special sale so we got a free set of sheets. Delivery guys came and set it up for us, showed us exactly how, showed us how to change our number settings, and took away our old mattress and box spring.

As a member of their loyalty club, I also got another set of sheets, another pillow, a travel pillow, and won another set of sheets in their membership sweepstakes, all over the year after we bought the bed.

This is our tenth year owning this bed, and it's just as sturdy and functional as it was the day we bought it. Zero wear and tear. The nice thing about a chambered air mattress is that it weighs less than 15 pounds. Super-easy to change the sheets and "make the bed" every day.

I have slept on the P6 ( Yes, the SAME number) for 30 years. I am on my 4th mattress and still love it. I have one in VA, FL and went from a King when married to a split King then a Queen. The sheets are easy to change and I can adjust the firmness of the mattress to suit me. The P6 is not the top of the line nor the bottom; I just know it's the model that suits my back and I don't like pillow toppers although they offer them. Their sheets are awesome too.

I couldn’t sleep on C4 I would be worried about it exploding!

Have had a sleep number bed for 15 years, still like new, and we love it. Separate controls so we each have the firmness/softness that works for each of us.

We have a split king from the Original Mattress Factory. It has been awesome.

We bought a Stearns & Foster mattress with options to raise the head or foot positions. It’s the best bed we’ve ever owned. We sleep like new born babies.

[Bassdeer]

ended up with a Tempur-Pedic. will be here today.

what did you have back home? if you liked it, get the same. If you didn't, don't get the same.

Wow, good to know!

Here's a little diversion to think about: An average person sheds enough skin cells each day to add about one pound per year to a mattress. So, two people sharing the same bed for ten years will have deposited about 20 pounds of dead skin into their mattress! Plus, skin cells are a food source for dust mites. Sorry for any nightmares these thoughts might cause!

You can keep your mattress clean and dry by using a moisture bamboo mattress cover with moisture proof barrier. Available on line. Very comfortable and washable. Would not sleep on a mattress without one.
