How do you know when you need a new mattress?

[phoenix]

Hi Chief,

It sounds like I could use a new mattress and maybe something other than an air bed (I’ll check out that link you posted). However, I’m a little hesitant to upset the balance. What I don’t want is to make a change and for things to be worse.

While your own “best judgement” about your own quality of sleep and the other points I mentioned would be better than mine (I can’t feel what you feel on your mattress) … based on your description it certainly sounds like you need a new mattress or at least a new comfort layer if the air bladders are still in good condition.

If you do decide to look for a new mattress then the first place I would start is the mattress shopping tutorial here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines you will need to know how to make the best possible choice … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.

Sorry, my zip code is 32217.

The better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Jacksonville, FL area are listed in post #7 here.
