Ahhh, sweet mattress. You are the best of times and the worst of times. Ever since moving into the new house, Hubby has had problems with his back. He went to a chiropractor and a massage therapist with regularity. He insisted his back hurt every morning. I on the other hand woke up rested and peaceful.
Fast forward a few months and I ended up sleeping on his side of the bed and I woke up with a sore back. We switched the bed around and now I'm in such pain I can hardly move. I spent an hour and a half with the massage therapist and now I'm bruised and in pain.
Now we have to decide on a mattress. Anyone have a sleep number bed?

Sounds like our story 3 months ago. We had a TERRIBLE time deciding what to do. Mattresses seem SO overrated! After discussing, researching &, the worst part, facing sales people so we could try some things out here is what we did. We bought an extra-firm mattress (actually pretty cheap). Almost the firmest we could find- feels like a rock. THEN, we bought the $125 memory foam topper from Sams club- OMG we LOVE it!!! Anyways, I feel your pain & hope this helps.....
Our friends with whom we own the condo got a sleep number bed for the master bedroom. We make the kids sleep on it. (it's just an air mattress inside a fancy frame - we definitely don't like it.)
We ended up getting a Nature's Rest mattress for our house a few years ago (latex mattress somewhat similar to the feel of memory foam). It's very comfortable, but was waaaayyyyy too expensive, I think.
Jacy probably has it right. Get a firm mattress from IKEA and get the memory foam topper. (get the actual memory foam brand - some friends of ours have the knock-off kind of memory foam and said it's very hot and sweaty, but they got theirs years ago. Maybe the knock-off technology has gotten better since then.)

So, what kind of mattress did you get? Do tell!!
We got a Serta firm mattress from Sam's (king size $500) and I ordered a mattress topper for my side only since DH likes his mattress firm. This is the one I ordered:

I didn't realize that I wasn't sleeping until I started sleeping all night again. Back pain is finally starting to recede and I can do stuff again. Yeah!!
Yeah, like stay up until 1:00am every night?... :)
Ok, nevermind... I just realized that 12:59pm is not 1:00am. And my blonde isn't even natural. *sigh*
I just came across your post about your mattress and your problems. Did you get something different or are you still in the market? I have some insite I would love to share about my situation if you are still interested. Let me know. [Information only - not a sales pitch, I promise]
Hey
I have a sleep number and LOVE it. My dh has back issues and convinced me to get a memory foam on our last (soft) bed. Well, he woke up one day and could not get up. Nothing like caring for a husband who can't move! Softer is not better for a bad back.
We finally got the sleep number and now we can both sleep. He needs it really firm and I like it softer. What was awesome was that I could make it a little more firm when I was pregnant. Oh, he doesn't snore as much either. So if the baby wasn't waking me up then I would be sleeping like an angel
I have a sleep number bed and it is the best investment we ever made. We love it. I have back issues and was not sleeping at all on a regular mattress. The sleep number has been a godsend for me. I recently fell and the only place I got relief was in my sleep number bed. I stayed in bed almost exclusively for three days! I would recommend the bed to anyone. In fact, my dad is going to buy one because I love mine so much.
