Mattress Recommendations
So, last night our sleep number bed collapsed on us. While we were sleeping in it! 
The plastic support beams simply split and fell apart. They are sending out new ones in a few days, but I'm pretty over it. We've had this bed for a little over six years now, and have had to replace the mattress topper multiple times because it just disintegrates. I'm getting tired of throwing money at it.
Both my husband and I are on the heavier side (I'm ~250lbs. I think he's a bit less.) He prefers a firmer bed, where I like a softer one. Hence why we went with the Sleep Number disaster. Obviously, we won't do that again.
Any recommendations for a bed we aren't going to hate after a few months?

I bought a Trump Hotel Collection mattress at a Sams club for like $400. Have had it for a couple years and it's great. Not sure if they sell it anymore, but worth looking into. Another one I liked was made out of latex/rubber and was super comfortable, but obviously smelled like rubber and was on the expensive side.3

I clicked on this thread and now have an advertisement for Casper mattresses on here. Maybe you should take a look at them.0

I have a beauty rest and it's pretty nice. I've had it for over a year and so far so good.0

Try them out and find what you like. Wait until one of four or so mattress sale events that come up each year (e.g., President’s Day). The top brands cost the same wherever you buy them, and the sales occur at the same times (manufacturers set the prices). I’ve bought two excellent mattresses through Macy’s, saving quite a bit, 18 months no interest financing, free delivery, set up, removal of old mattress... Looked around a lot and when I did the math, really just about exactly the same everywhere. Expect to pay at least $1,000 for a good mattress (after discount).

I don't have a recommendation. But I just wanted to say I like your profile pic.2 -
I recently bought a BeautyRest (Firm) and have no regrets.
It was 50% off at Matress firm with box spring and metal frame. Great deal for that price.0 -
mattress ? mattress ?
I usually have to sleep here:
no mattress.3 -
Thanks everyone! I will go out mattress shopping during the next sale season and see what we can find. I don't mind the investment if it will actually give both of us a good night's sleep.
I was considering trying Purple, but I've gotten mixed reviews on it. I'll probably just go with a traditional one at this point.0 -
I 100% know that tons of people will roll their eyes at me for this, but...
I love my tempurpedic mattress more than just about any other item in our house. I've had it about 6 years, and seriously - SERIOUSLY, I've never slept so well and my nagging neck and back pain are all but eliminated. It sounds lame to say this, but I genuinely think that mattress has improved my quality of life.
It cost a freaking fortune, but it was worth every single penny. And of course, now, there are so many other memory foam mattresses on the market that you can probably get just as good a mattress for a more affordable price. When I bought mine, there weren't many other choices, and the ones that were available were newish, so there wasn't really any data available on their longevity. If I were mattress shopping now, I might choose a different brand.2 -

We love our Ghost Bed. 900 for a king size. It’s similar to a Casper Bed, but it has more edge support. Yes really 900! We bought an adjustable Tenpuroedic for 5,000, didn’t love it,so we retuned it and got this instead. If we tire of it after 5 years , that’s ok. 900 bucks, I’m good. This is a great site for mattress reviews

I am losing the battle for a new one at the moment, until this one completely dies. I feel the need to help it along...

I have a temper-pedic and HATE it. It's been replaced once because one side dropped and sagged and overall it's not very comfortable (to me) I toss and turn and wake up multiple times a night. This bed hasn't lived up to all its hype. Spent way too much money to sleep so *kitten*!0

ARNOLD IS NOT SHADY
He told you his name is Arnold? When I bought my genuine rolex from him he told me his name is Stan.1 -
