Hi sidesleeper,

I couldn’t take sleeping in the disaster that has become our 12yr old pocket coil mattress( Sealy Renior Pillowtop), so I moved my 25yr that I had when I was a teen (which was… yikes 25yrs now!) into our main bedroom and slept great! This morning, I was curious because I didn’t feel any springs or anything, so I took a look at the label and it’s a Sears-o-Pedic - Prestige!

I guess there’s proof in the durability of foam. Not sure how good the new Sears-o-Pedic mattresses are, but I have a feeling I’ll have this mattress for quite a number of years (especially since it hardly gets used any more, maybe 100 nights a year).

As unfortunate as it may be … the mainstream mattresses that are made today generally use lower quality materials and for the most part are nowhere near as durable as the mattresses that were made 15 years ago or more (see post #404 here and post #4 here). Polyfoam comes in a wide range of grades or densities and higher density materials and two sided construction were much more common then than they are now.

The good news is that latex is a higher quality and more durable material than polyfoam (including high quality polyfoam) so your new mattress will maintain its comfort and support for a very long time :).
