    An alchemic substance that gives you a full night’s sleep right away? You can consume in seconds? Congratulations, you just invented cocaine

        You say that like it’s the easiest thing in the world. We had a great bed for the last ten years but it is done.

        Bought a super expensive extra firm mattress… immediate back pain. Stuck it out for a month, no good. Couldn’t return it coz we chose wrong…now I have a stupidly expensive guest bed.

        Tried one of the mattress in a box companies who claimed to be one of the firmest available. it was a soggy mess.

        Returned. Bought another with a less favourable return policy but half the price…my wife hated it so much that I donated it to the local op shop.

        Were on our latest mattress now and my back is absolutely killing me.

        It’s just impossible to know what will work for you. A quick lay down in the shop isn’t going to cut it, but I am sick to death of looking. A real shame the company that made our original super firm mattress went out of business.

          This is why I think my next mattress is gonna be one of those sleep number joints. I’ve got a tempurpedic or however tf it’s spelled that was great when I first got it, but after four lumbar surgeries to fix a work injury, not so much

        This is hugely important. In fact, as I write this I’m lying on a mattress at my dad’s, who I am visiting, knowing my back will hurt tomorrow. It isn’t only about the money, though. The correct firmness for your weight, etc. matter a great deal. Not trivial to pick from a catalogue or even from trying them out for 30sec at the store, though… the one I’m going to be sleeping on tonight might have been more expensive than the one I have at home, but it just wasn’t chosen by me, for my profile.

        Having said this: closing in on my 50s, back pain is becoming a recurrent but unwelcome companion (along with its many crappy friends, such as knee aches and poor eyesight)…

          I understand the spirit of this comment but I think it’s pretty clear that the person you’re replying to is simply trying to offer helpful advice in fairly neutral tone.

          And it is the correct advice. A mattress doesn’t cost less simply because it’s softer it certainly doesn’t cost more just because it’s firmer. Budget aside, there is definitely a degree of personal choice when choosing a mattress.

    Wow very realistic lol. For the first time in weeks I got 8 hours of sleep in a night and I’m more tired now than I have been in months.
