Hi all. I'm going to begin a search for a new mattress and I figured this would be the perfect place to do initial research! I would appreciate any feedback or opinions that you might offer. I odn't know how much longer I can sleep on the saggy old thing I call a mattress (not like I get much sleep since the baby was born
Thanks in advance. John

John,
For me, the Tempurpedic is the best I have found. Happy mattress hunting, Jeff

Thanks for those Harrison. I searched for "mattress" and didn't get any hits. I think a FAQ would be perfect!

I have a Simmons BeautyRest ~ firm tho has a sort of soft topping (tho not traditional pillowtop). It's an awesome bed and so relaxing.. I'm so glad I bought it last year~

Latex, latex, latex - such bliss, especially after a water bed.
