I’m also in Northwest Indiana and looking for a new mattress. We currently have a 7 year old spring mattress that is sagging considerably in the middle. I actually put a pillow down the center of the bed to keep my husband from rolling onto me during the night!! I am a side sleeper sleeper with my knees pulled up close (in line with my hips) and my husband sleeps in every direction possible. I am noticing that I’m having a much harder time falling asleep nowadays and waking up feeling sore and tired. Besides my back hurting, my hips and shoulder are now starting to bother me. My husband works an odd shift so he never feels well rested anyways, but I’m hoping that a new, better suited for us mattress will help him sleep more soundly so that I too can sleep more soundly. Right now, he’s all over the place besides the snoring. He also gets very hot! There are several times a month that he gets up and sleeps on our leather couch because he gets too hot. Also, we are both the 5’ 6" and medium build so there isn’t much diffence there.
If anyone can give me some good suggestions on what type of mattresses I should start checking into first I would appreciate it. I know everyone is different, but there are so many options and variations, I’m not sure where to start or if I should rule anything out right from the start. I looked at qualitysleepshop.com but I didn’t really see anything regarding the gel foam and there are about 75 miles from me right now…I’m in the southern area of NW Indiana.
Thanks for you help in advance!
