Time to replace that is! Have a Tempurpedic that's 15+ years old and has wallowed out spots..

What are the favorite choices now?

Purple

Tempurepedic breeze lux is the gold standard. Best combination of comfort and temprature control

I have a Purple. Would recommend.

Mattresses are funny things; or at least the way that we perceive them is funny. Everyone shrinks away in revulsion from a used mattress, yet we will pay hundreds of dollars to sleep for a night on one that has been used by many different people.

I have had many mattresses in my life and Avacado is thee best I’ve ever had or slept on. It is firm in fact it was a bit too firm, but a cheap 3” foam topper from Walmart really made it plush and firm at the same time. I highly recommend it. https://www.usnews.com/360-reviews/sleep/mattress/avocado

I have 2 Sleep Number beds now.
I do not think that I will ever go back to a regular style bed.

A Sleep Number never gets sags or soft spots.

My 1st one is over 15 years old and was getting a bit worn.

We purchased a new one and took the old one to my place in Arizona.
I installed a new Egg Crate foam pad in the old one and it is as good as new now.

The new one we got a half split bed so that we can raise and lower our individual sides interdependently if we choose to we also got the heating and cooling function as well and in the winter the heating is great.

There is are several models to choose from and we took the middle ground and have been very satisfied with our Choices

Well hell, I thought Kum-hola was starting to campaign for 2024.

Bought a Novaform 14" memory foam mattress at Costco for $599. I don't think anyone will claim its the best but my wife and I are very happy with it. We've had it for about 6 months and we sleep great on it.

Dang, I thought the thread was titled "Mistress Time"

Pat B: I posted this about a year ago and thought it might be of interest to you:

I recently purchased a Beauty Rest Black X Hybrid Plush to replace my old POS worn-out mattress. It was rather expensive, but I am sleeping better and it has helped my back tremendously

I conducted a great deal of research.

I'm sure many of these mail-order mattress in a box companies have good to excellent mattresses, the problem is that you're unable to try them before you pull the trigger, and I decided I didn't want to gamble on that.

I had specific requirements for a mattress/bed, since I have problems sleeping and I have a bad back - dead disc and a bone spur. I wanted a mattress that was cool since I sleep rather hot, good for side & back sleepers, had an edge that was substantial, was soft enough to allow pressure point relief (shoulder, hips & my hog) to sink in for proper spine alignment, but that was firm enough at the same time. With the Beauty Rest Black X Hybrid Plush I mentioned earlier in the thread, they achieve this by using different grades and layers of cooling foam and they use a special "T3" pocketed coil, which is 3 wires wrapped into one for a more substantial, longer lasting support. Whereas my old, worn out mattress heated me up at night and caused me to wake up repeatedly during the night, sweating, the Black X Hybrid has a cooling cover with silver woven into it and I can attest that coupled with the cooling foam, it does indeed work to keep me cool at night.

It's difficult to explain, but the mattress is soft enough to allow my shoulders and hips to sink in for pressure relief but is also firm enough underneath to support me and my spine. As an example, on my old mattress, if I laid down on my back, it would begin to hurt within just a few minutes and getting up was always painful - especially in the AM. That problem is now gone with the Black X Hybrid. I no longer toss and turn all night, waking up every 30-45 minutes as I used to. Now, I only wake up once or twice, my back pain is greatly alleviated and I awaken a helluva' lot more refreshed than I used to.

All in all, I'm pretty danged happy with the Beauty Rest Black X Hybrid Plush and, for what my opinion is worth, I highly recommend it.

We've always gone with a top of the line Beauty Rest and never been disappointed. 17 years on the current one and it's still fine.

I had a Sleep Number, it leaked from Day One, then the pump died. They suck, over-priced gimmick.

Ours is 13 years old, never a leak, and the pumps works fine. Of course once you find your comfort level, the pump gets almost no use at all.

We had one from way back[before #'s], it was still working great when the wife decided she no longer cared for it several years back.
Used it for maybe 20 years.
Since then we've had 4 different mattress' covering the whole gambit from springs to memory foam to hybrids and she likes none of them.
Damn how I wish I would have just said no[outloud].

I had to run the pump every night to keep the damned thing aired up or it was like sleeping in a hammock.

I got their classic mattress - all good.

Our Sleep Number is about 14 years old.
It needs some help with the foam and the outer part.
Not sure if I'll fix or replace.
One or the other, hate sleeping anywhere but home since we got it.
A couple nice hotels have had decent beds.
None matched the Sleep Number.

No idea about all the foam mattress'
