I am surprised at how many people buy conventional mattresses. Didn’t anyone go out and buy from the other Rush turncoat Sleep Number like we did? It is an awesome bed. They are just a nightmare to deal with on replacement parts.
We turned in our high-density foam mattress after 18 months as it no longer felt flat and both my wife and I were getting up at night to go sleep on the couch ...by choice. We decided to go back to a high-end conventional mattress; top of the line Stearns and Foster. We tried the sleep number bed some time ago and didn't really care for it.
I know, you have to give it more than a few minutes and you have to find your ideal setting. We preferred something more traditional this time around. Let's pick up this discussion in about three months and I'll tell you how we're doing. :-)
a blanket on a hard floor is the best nights rest. great for the back. spending thousands of dollars on a mattress is nuts.
