anyone know of a good mattress or topper?

Hello! I'm sure you all deal with sleeping problems yourself but do any of you have suggestions for a good mattress or mattress topper? I am needing a new one and want it to be worth the money. Thanks!

Well, I wound up buying a new mattress from Sears. It's a Sealy Postupedic Kason Bay Euro pillow top (maybe not exactly the name but you get the idea! ha!) and although it doesn't feel like it would be that comfortable, I do sleep through the night now. That is something new for me so I think I am going to be happy with it. I got it for 50% off too with an extra 10% because it was over $499. So that made me happy too. Hopefully it will continue to be a good one for me. We will see! Thanks for all your suggestions and replys!

Hoping this mattress works for you, am happy that you ventured out and bought a new one, as a comfortable bed can really make a big difference for us!

I, too, have a sleep number, but I have a down filled topper that I put over it, as well. Without the down topper, I could still feel my HIPs hitting the mattress. Now, that I have rhematoid arthritis, too, have to keep those hips happy!

A few months ago we bought a Serta Presidential Suites mattress with a real cushy pillowtop and it has greatly improved my sleep and is just the right firmness (not too hard, not too soft) to help with my joint and muscle pain. Good luck on your search!

sleep number beds are awsome...very expensive but so worth it..As my boby hurts during the night i can change the bed to harder or softer and its quiet so it does not wake the hubby...good luck

I made my own by sewing 2 sheets together and filling with foam chips, sewing pockets as I went. None of the others worked for me or were too expensive.
