Mattress Poll: UPDATE 2/20/2011

I put other because I have a very different situation. I have severe reflux that can only be controlled by elevating my head 40 degrees while sleeping. I have Baroreflex failure that causes dangerously low blood pressure in the mornings if I eat breakfast after a long nights fast. I am on a feeding tube so to correct this issue I feed all night by a pump. Because all of these requirements, I made a Bedroom down stairs. A hospital bed was a perfect solution for all of my issues so I got a bed but it lacked any appeal so I cut the bed up and made a wooden frame that I covered with microswede. I made the armrest big enough for a 23inch HD television. During the night I have my Bed and TV and in the day it becomes a studio couch. I made the mechanism for rasing the TV with a drill motor and the mechanics that were on the bed for raising it up and down. The mattress is memory foam so the bed is comfortable. I set the sleep cycle on the TV for 2 hours start my feed pump and usually conkout around the time that reruns of "Office" comes on. Pictures of bed attache. These are the day shots. Sorry about the poor picture
quality.

And the engineer in Bill (kokopup) shines thru. What an ingenious idea. Who woulda thunk???????

My dad has a bad back so he's been sleeping on the couch for many years now. Now my mom's back has been hurting her so she's been sleeping on a recliner. I think that she said that her brother does the same thing. Whenever I've had to sleep on my couch it was very uncomfortable and I felt cramped. When my parents were visiting my brother and his family in Texas, they said that the bed in the guest room really hurt their back. They ended up sleeping on my brothers leather sofas. I guess everyone requires something different.

We have a pillow top and I love it.

Near the end of my pregnancy with Nathan I couldn't get comfortable in my bed and I ended up sleeping on the couch- I was much more comfortable there. Near the end of my pregnancy with Topher I couldn't get comfortable in either the bed or on the couch, but I slept great in our recliner. Whatever works!

Wow, that is really impressive.

John and I bought Hästen beds about six years ago. It was quite expensive, but I'm not impressed!! The ones we got are called "Natural". I got the medium one and John wanted the soft. There's a 25 years guarantee on them, but what can I do - it's not broken. I just feel it's sinking in the middle... and I'm not overweight! I tried the "Excel" one which I liked better, but it cost about $730 more.

I like firm but springy mattresses. Have tried a few in England (old ones) I really liked - and a very good one in Hotel Wilson, Barcelona. Wish I had asked where they bought that!

Tracey, I hope you'll like your new mattress!

We've had the same mattress for 20 years. My husband talks about buying a new one but I don't see anything wrong with ours...I could sleep on a rock.

I sleep on a memory foam mattress that is not by tempuredic. The bed is also adjustable.
