coil mattresses never last as long as they say they will. I don't know about the others - they are out of my price range.
Buying a bed is a very hard thing to do. it always seems that the ones you try in the store have been tried out by so many other people that they are quite comfortable. Then when you get the new one home, it's not the same at all.

The only be i ever tried that was outrageously comfortable was one that a rich relative got. I can't recall the name but it was as if you were sleeping on a cloud. The bed had to have cost ten grand.

Are you planning to be bringing lovers into the bed?

I remembered the name - DUX

My sister and her husband, all three of their kids and their spouses have the temperpedic. They all hate it except for one of her sons, he's the only one who does like it.

I would like to try the sleep number, maybe with that I'd actually be able to sleep but I don't see buying it anytime soon. Partner's bed is a cali-king and the price is too steep.

@ Viv, probably will not be having any company, well at least not to my knowledge, but certainly would like to provide a good nites rest to them if they were not happy with the entertainment package LOL
@ Mobi, waterbeds were awesome, but what a bitch to move around
@ Leather, the price is ridiculous for everything these days, only thing cheap is hard times

Have to agree with Viv, we have a Dux, and it's the most unbelievably comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. Not cheap, but definitely worth it.

i know a few people that have the sleep # and they love it. If you get duel sides each of you can have your own firmness and they say you cannot feel the seperation if you are spooning. I hear the temprepedic is very warm.. holds in the heat so if you are a warm sleeper not a good idea.

I just bought a brand new pillow top full size off of Craigs list for $175. He said he is an apartment manager and gets to sell the left overs. Bought my son a full size queen for $270. might be worth lookin into if money is an issue

The springs are about to pop through my bed - not comfy at all

Sleep Number is just a WAY OVER PRICED AIR BED. Had it a week, told them to come get it. Temperpedic Made me sweat like a HOG. We just got a KINGDOWN(.com)It's been a great 6 weeks. Mobi I'm with you on the waterbed bro. but no good ones in this town.

I have a Sealy Posturepedic.
California King with a 4" thick pillow top on it.
I think it was around $2,000.
The women love it !!

I had the Sleep number bed before that.
WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP THAT THING WAS !!
I slept on it for a couple of years, kept messing around with it trying to make it work for me.
Problem with that bed, it always lost air.
Even bigger problem with that bed, in the CA King size, you HAVE to have two separate air mattresses in it, then it leaves a "hole" in between the two of them. If you tried to roll from one side of the bed to the other you would get stuck in the middle.
I eventually tossed it out. I wouldn't wish that bed on anyone.

Thanks TCC, I'll know not to get the sleep number.

My dog's bed looks so comfy but he won't give it up for me. I do love my couch which is where I usually end up around 2 a.m.

I've had insomnia for many years and I don't know what kind of mattress partner has but I never have sleeping issues when I'm there.

thanx for everyones input, Dux seems to be getting the most votes, will scope it out, meanwhile back to the cot

Water beds are great for sex, that's about it. Too much work to roll over...

I absolutely loved my waterbed. Only issue would be I like to be super warm and cozy when I'm sleeping. My partner gets hot really easy. So setting the bed to 82 would be way too warm for him.

I don't know what we have now. It's ok, but not amazing. We both move around a lot. We need a king sized bed. We have a queen.
