Life Tell me about your bed. - Page 5

**cabletech94** · 10-23-2020, 11:06 AM

Wife and I have a memory foam style type bed. It has a “lifetime” warranty. It was sold to us as never having to replaced due to durability. Fact is it’s 13 years old and has served its purpose. But as I’ve gotten older, it’s becoming more difficult to get comfortable overnight, constantly tossing and turning etc. After talking to the wife she’s having the same issues.

So my question to you fellow planeteers: what’s your sleeping pad setup? I’m just looking at other options.

Oh, and **** DONKOS FOREVER!!!

Okay, that settles it. I'm going to start a waterbed company. Who wants to invest? We all liked them.

We just recently replaced our 20 + year old mattress. I did a quick internet search and ended up ordering a Saatva https://www.saatva.com/mattresses. They delivered it and hauled off the old mattress. So far it's been a big improvement. We went with the Classic.

And I hated the waterbeds. Terrible for sex and hard to even get out of in the morning.

I actually checked on why waterbeds fell out of favor. I guess it wasn't insurance related; rather, it was new, high quality mattresses becoming available that equaled the comfort of water beds without the pain in the ass of dealing with waterbeds. So they basically went the way of the 8-track and gigantic tube TVs.

I remember when we moved into our current home in 2001, we purchased both the water bed and one of those huge TVs that felt like it weighed five hundred pounds. IIRC I spent $1,000 on the TV, and five years later I gave it to my next door neighbor in exchange for him helping me move it out of the house.

Growing up in a old farm house I sure appreciated a waterbed.

Until the heater stopped working and the waterbed was like 40 degrees.

My mom still has an old freefloat waterbed in her basement, which has been in the same location for like 25 years. Slept on it last year during hunting season. Yup, forgot to turn the heater on before bed. Went to bed drunk. Woke up in the middle of the night, and yes that damn bed was 40 degrees. LOL.

****, that happened to me once. It either broke during the night or had already broke when I went to bed and wasn't noticeable yet.

Woke up the next morning and felt like I'd been dead for four hours. My back was twisted in knots.

We bought an original mattress factory bed. Has done well. It is weird having to flip it every 90 days. But it stops the divots.

I did like the single spring and foam beds. But we decided on OMF. I do not know if it is available in all markets.

Since the mattress industry quit making flippable mattresses we have bought 4 new King mattresses. Each around a thousand to fifteen hundred each. Sealy, Beautyrest, you name it, we have had them and they all get the divots.
This last one from Mattress Firm had only lasted two years before it sucked.

We went to the OMF in Virginia Beach and ordered one, we love it. https://www.originalmattress.com/

Not really sure. It’s big, it’s comfy, and my wife bought it so it’s probably expensive as hell

I have a Sealy Posture Pedic. It is a good mattress.

I think those are still considered cheap though.

I've always slept on a firm mattress with an extra firm pillow my entire adult life. Always on a slat platform bed, no boxspring.

Works wonders for me.

I also try to sleep at 66-68 degrees. Best temp for sleep.
