We have a king size tempurpedic mattress. It's the single best investment in our house that we've made. It was very expensive (like $2500), but worth every penny. - Tad

Tad, did you have a regular coil mattress before that? I've always slept on a coil mattress and the foam ones where you sink into them seem odd to lay on. How long did it take to get used to it? - Nathan Chase

Comfortaire king size air bed with separate controls. I can't remember where I found it on the net but it was half the list price. - Greg Guitarbuster

Select Comfort; I like it as does my best friends and parents that also have them. My only complaint is that its arrival ended the jumping on the bed for the kids - RAPatton from iPhone

from what I'm reading, a lot of places say don't buy any brand you haven't heard of (basically get a Sealy, Serta, or Simmons). - Nathan Chase

Nathan - we had a coil mattress before that we kept for a few years too long - it was horribly uncomfortable when we finally got rid of it. What sold us on Tempurpedic was the pillows. We each had one of their pillows for probably a year before we bought the full mattress. It took no time at all for us to totally love it - I loved it the first night. But I understand some people never get used to it. I suggest trying a pillow first. - Tad

Mcroskey Airflex. Best mattress you may not have heard of... http://www.mcroskey.com/ - Cliff Gerrish

One thing to note is the new bed we purchased has a "bunky board" with drawers underneath, so we won't be needing a box spring... Not sure how much that changes things or not... - Nathan Chase

Yeah I definitely don't like the feeling of sinking into the bed. The foam beds all feel that way to me. But I do want it to be super soft and plush feeling when i hit the bed. I keep reading that you shouldn't buy pillow-top mattresses though because they wear out fast and to get a separate pillowtop topper instead. It's all so confusing! - Nathan Chase

I have a stuffed cotton futon. Unless you want to sleep on the floor, I wouldn't recommend it unless you affix plywood boards to the bedframe, because you _will_ feel the slats underneath if you don't. - Chris, Without Direction

Tempurpedic. I agree with Tad - it's the best money I've ever spent. - Shea from iPhone

Where's Bren? - Derrick

I have a sleep number - would rather have a Tempurpedic - live and learn. - William Harryman

I love our bed too (the Tempurpedic) and you can get some that are "more firm" than others. We bought the one that was in the "middle" for softness. It actually gets harder during the colder winter months. But I absolutely love my bed. It is so comfortable. I never wake up with some of the aches and pains I had with our previous mattress and I miss it when I travel and have to sleep on something else. - Lindsay

We have some Unikulma's bed/mattresses which are measurement to our body. Been using that now around 2 years and still quite happy with it. Only bad thing was the price which was way too salty. http://www.unikulma.com/index2... - Nia

I like a good firm futon best - not necessarily those that are pure cotton - the one I have has layers of some other material. - howard shippin

Cristo: That's what she said. :) - Nathan Chase

We had a glorious 4 day weekend in a B&B in Astoria one year, the Tempurpedic was nearly 4 feet tall. I thought we had a pretty nice bed until that weekend. The Keetsa looks interesting, I wonder what the lifecycle for memory foam is... - Jason Wehmhoener

Haha... no, I think not. - Nathan Chase

1939 Posture Pedic. ) - Paul L. McCord Jr.

Our Tempurpedic is 4 years or so old and is just as comfy as the day we bought it. No noticeable wear at all. - Tad

Tad, that means you're not "using" it enough. - Rochelle

I definitely prefer the look of the platform style beds, but haven't had an opportunity to test a memory foam mattress. I wish mattress material was the kind of thing B&B's advertised... - Jason Wehmhoener

After trying out mattresses at 3 different stores - decided upon the Simmons Beautyrest. It was the most comfortable, at the lowest price. - Nathan Chase

Before you buy a new bed check out the information about the toxins they're dipped in because they're required by law. Do you know you have to have a Doctor's prescription to buy a bed that doesn't reek of chemicals? Might be time to go back to waterbeds. Much about that online. http://www.bestbedguide.com/organic... - Potential issues with Tempurpedic: http://galleyslaves.blogspot.com/2005... - More on toxins emitted by mattresses including foam types: http://www.motherjones.com/politic... - Internet Strategist

ikea. springless. super soft top. firm foam insides. i'm super happy with it. - John O'Day

I want to know about organic mattresses. My cousin wants to buy one and these types of mattresses are expensive. I have a bad back and I purchased a Simmons, Beauty Rest. I LOVE IT! - Anne Haynes
