We’re talking about finally buying a new mattress after we’ve been sleeping on a 20+ year old pillow top spring mattress with a memory foam topper for a few years now (we got it from my parents when they upgraded). We’ve got a couple concerns and the information online is overwhelming!!
Some basic info:
Both of our BMI’s are under 30, im 5’2” and husband is 6’2”. He generally sleeps pretty hot where I’m usually comfortable. We watch tv before bed most nights so we like the idea of the adjustable base. We both like a soft mattress but since there’s a size difference, the amount of pressure relief or support can feel different between us.
Also, we’re in south Georgia so we can shop throughout Ga and throughout Florida as far as Orlando if we need to.
So here’s some the things we’re not sure on:
- Durability. We need this thing to last and want to avoid sagging as much as possible (duh). I’m reading that latex could be a good option but is it going to be soft enough?
- What are the general thoughts on sleep number? I like the idea of the two different sides and changing the firmness but are they going to last and do they actually provide pressure relief?
- Is an adjustable base fine as far as supporting the mattress and allowing it to last?
- If anyone in Georgia or Florida has a good place to go they recommend to try out good mattress options let me know!
