The mattress I have now is getting up there in age....bought in 2008. So I’m starting to wonder if most of my lower back problems the last couple of years are due to the mattress I’ve been using. So what would you guys suggest for a new mattress? I’m a side sleeper with lower back pain at times. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’d like to keep the budget under 2k if possible. Prefer king size but might be willing to size down to a queen if needed. | ||

Our go to is a waterbed with a goose down topper on it for the last 20 years. No heat in the waterbed. Been on a waterbed for more than 30 years, first ones were heated. _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K.

You will spend more than $2000, but our purple mattress has been truly life changing. Solved back problems over night and made it so my wife and I can enjoy sleeping in the same bed instead of always having to compromise.

We've had a 'Casper' for a year and it's remarkable. We picked it up at Costco, hauled it home, rolled it out and and slept on it that night. Edges are softer than a traditional mattress so don't roll out. Our queen was about $500. Couple it with a set of microfleece sheets and sleep is heavenly.

Fighting the good fight |
Do yourself a favor: If you're going to research the Purple mattress, do it in Incognito mode in your browser, or on someone else's computer. A few years back I was looking into buying a new mattress, and briefly researched Purple. From that point on, for months afterwards, every single YouTube video I watched or ad-filled website I visited would display a prominent Purple ad. Every. Single. Damn. One. Sometimes multiple ads. Often the same Purple ad repeated over and over again every few minutes throughout a Youtube video. I got so freaking sick of Purple mattress ads, it's what drove me to install an adblocker for my browser that specifically also worked on Youtube ads. I'd like to punch the Purple marketing team in their faces. Their interweb advertising budget must be astronomical. | |||

| Good enough is neither good, nor enough |
This mattress has ruined me for sleeping anywhere but home. It is a hybrid, which is a combination spring and temperpedic mattress. It also has cooling gel as well. Amazing and I can’t even feel my wife toss and turn like my old one. https://www.nfm.com/sealy-prem...h-king-mattress-only There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||

We did a LOT of research earlier this year, and knew we wanted a latex hybrid. Someone on here had previously posted a link to an educational forum about mattresses (maybe tatortodd?), and I read, and read, and READ some more! The gist of it was that the big name brands are just that; big names. You're much better off finding a smaller mattress crafter, where you get much higher quality materials and craftsmanship, instead of just a big name. We weren't necessarily looking for "organic", but wound up buying a "Natural Escape" from mygreenmattress.com . It has higher quality springs, organic/natural latex, organic cotton and wool, and is made in Illinois, I believe. King size shipped to us rolled up like a Purple, etc, and rolled out beautifully. We couldn't be happier, and I haven't been this comfortable in bed in years! Sleeps very temperature neutral - not hot whatsoever in the summer, and not too cool in the winter. We absolutely love it and can't recommend it strongly enough! | |||

After lots of research we got a Novaform from Costco for about $500 and it has been so much better than the $2000 conventional mattress it replaced. | |||

For your price point I'd recommed a Serta Hybrid. I have a king size that's under $2k with box springs, it's an inner spring mattress with a layer of gel and then a layer of memory foam. I've had mine now for about 4 years and really like it. I've tried the memory foam ones, latex ones, and the sleep number ones and prefer the Serta. | |||

Denver Mattress Richmond model. Its a hybrid with coils underneight. Very comfortable and if your spouse or you toss or turn the other will never feel it. I just tried to find it and it appears to be discontinued.  | |||

Good chance it was me. Here is what I wrote back in 2018 summarizing how I purchased my latex base with a latex topper in 2017. I used the strike through font as they got out of the bed in a box business. Very unfortunate since it was a pretty sweet set-up where you bought the high quality base and then matched the talalay latex topper to your sleep style and body weight. I ended up getting a king with a softer side for side sleeping and firmer side for back sleeping. Even bought two king size latex pillows with one being higher for side sleeping and one being lower profile for back sleeping. All in (mattress, topper, pillows, and shipping) I spent less than $1200 for something extremely customized, every component was premium, and way better than anything locally at 3x the price.

Invest Early, Invest Often |
Bought this Novaform Mattress at Costco during the summer for the guest room. I've slept on it probably 8 or 10 nights and really like it. I bought it in the warehouse for $379 ($499 less $120 off) for a Queen size. | |||

After wanting one for years and settling for a copy, we bought a Tempur-Pedic about a year ago. We bought an adjustable bed base at the same time and the combination is, by far, the best we’ve had in our married life. No hesitation recommendation. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Told cops where to go for over 29 years… |
We are about 10 years in on a Novaform memory foam mattress from Costco. $500 for a King Size, feels as good today as it did the first day. We are both “plus” size and no sag at all after all these years. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

We picked up a Simmons Backcare mattress about a year ago. It is pretty darn comfortable. I have no complaints. The “lol” thread | |||

Since you're in the Illinois area maybe check this place out. I went with this latex/wool dual sided (flippable) model about 6 years ago. Platinum Dreams Mattress I also had lower back issues and this medium firm model was perfect. It is a bit more than you wanted to spend but that store has many other similar models that are available on the floor to test out. . | |||

Better Than I Deserve! |
Try a Winkbed and you'll be a happy camper. We've tried all the mattresses and really like Tempurpedic but didn't want to spend that amount of money to replace our 10 year old Tempurpedic. We were told about Winkbeds and ordered a split king and they are fantastic. We've had it for about 5 months. We like them better than the Tepurpedic and MUCH cheaper.
