My wife and I expect to be in the market for a new one soon. Any recommendations? We recently visited her brother who had a memory foam mattress in the guest bedroom and we were very comfortable. Thanks.

    Don't buy Tempur Pedic.
    Overpriced piece of crap.

    LOL, thanks. That’s the brand he had and when I looked them up on line I realized we weren’t going to that route. I know a good night’s sleep is important and I’m willing to invest in good quality that will last but not quite as much for that brand

    I bought a $400 mattress from Sams club and it's honestly the best mattress I've had. My sister and her husband have a sleep number and they love it if you got that kind of money.

    I guess YMMV on Tempur Pedic. My wife and I have had ours for almost five years and I look forward to crawling in bed every night. I have had arthritis-related pain in my lower back and she used to have back pain from mild scoliosis and could only sleep on her side, not any more. I've not seen any of the permanent depression issues others mentioned and Tempur Pedic has some sort of warranty protecting against that (at least they did when we bought ours). We did spend a little more than I wanted to but this was before Leesa, Purple, and Casper showed up in the direct-to-consumer segment and I thought it was a better option than sleep number. I'd probably have gone with one of those had they been more readily available at the time. Most of them seem to have some sort of in-home trial period (100 night?) so you can see how you like it.

    Thanks. We have a Costco membership. I’ll have to check out what they have.

    I got my mattress from bedinabox.com (also before Leesa and Purple). It's a memory foam that was a little more firm than I liked, so I bought a pillow top mattress pad and it's great now. My parents have a Temperpedic and after sleeping at my house a few nights they bought a pillow top mattress pad and like it much more. Bedinabox is more expensive now, but still cheaper than Temperpedic, so good for comparison at least.

    I have a Tempur Pedic "Rhapsody", and find it amazing, sleep wonderfully every single night, it shows zero sign of wear and was purchased mid-2011. However, it was pricey for sure...even thinking about the sticker on that King mattress makes me a little on edge even now! ha

    We have a Sealy memory foam that has a little bit of cooking gel in it. It's not as expensive as tempurpedic and still the the best mattress I've ever had. We go my daughter a memory foam from Costco for a lot less and it's comfy

    We got a sleep number 4 months ago.
    It's much more affordable than people think.
    I look at it like this- we drive 40k $ cars but can't invest in a good nights sleep?
    We pay a monthly payment of 132$ for ours. It's perfect. My number is 34.
    I suggest anyone interested go into a sleep number store and experience the demo .

    Sleeping in the garage?? That’s a bit harsh!

    The brand is largely unimportant - it’s what you find comfortable that matters. I have friends who have spent fortunes on an orthopaedic mattress because they thought that more money meant a better mattress. They hated it because they don’t need it and it isn’t suited to them. Set yourself a budget and shop to that budget after visiting a few stores and trying a few out.

    I have been looking at either a Leesa or a Casper. But, haven't made a commitment yet. Not planning to replace the cheap mattress I have until later this year.

    I did run across this: https://bestmattressonline.org/

    Thanks for the link. I've checked out numerous other review sites trying to reach a some consensus.
