Feeling overwhelmed, need suggestions!

My husband (6’4", 260lbs.) and I (5’2", 210lbs.) are looking into updating our mattress but have no idea what we should invest in. We want something that will last and maybe solve my upper back/neck issues if possible (I’ve been doing daily stretches and exercising, but the problem seems to redevelop after sleeping). My husband tends to get really hot in bed as well and sleeps without sheets or anything, so maybe something that offers a bit of cooling (we live in the Mojave desert, so it does tend to be hot).

As for firmness, neither of us seem to have much of a preference. I remember I laid on a pure memory foam mattress once and absolutely hated it, but I would be open to a hybrid.

As for budget, I’d love to stay around the 2-3k range if possible, but I’m not sure if it is with our high bmi and preferences. I noticed some sales today so maybe we’ll get lucky.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: I forgot to mention we are sleeping on a King Koil with a pillowtop. It’s probably around 15 years old.

Hi kindlykatie.

Welcome to our Mattress Forum. :slight_smile:

I’d suggest getting started with our Mattress Shopping Tutorial and Mattress Durability Guidelines as well as this resource on needs by sleeping position.

Additionally, you may wish to browse our Trusted Member listing for pre-vetted mattress companies with high standards in terms of transparency and durability.

If you have a question about a specific mattress and how you think it would work with your sleep profile(s) I’d be happy to help/evaluate that with you!
