We have the one with the BIG pillowtop. I don't think it's so great. It is very soft in the middle--could be the 2 heavyweights who sleep there.... Also it's hard to find sheets for them.

We have an older Serta with a memory foam mattress pad on top- it's super cushy.

But it depends on what you like- some people are happier sleeping on a pile of cardboard boxes (what the mattress felt like before the memory foam).

Mine is exactly like this-



Shelburne collection (w/sleep number matress) available at Slumberland. (They also have a web site).
Available in queen or king size.

Can't think of my brand...but it is a Firm Mattress with a Semi-Pillowtop....took me a while to get used to it, my other one was kind of crap that I got used to.

damn, now I'm going to have to go see what I have! *sigh*

We have a sleep number
I can sleep about anywhere, but Larry likes it

Sealy Posturpedic I think.... heading there now...night!

Just know that any mattress is going to feel great when you try it out for 2 minutes in the store, feeling foolish as you do it.

I think my next one will be a Sleep Number---purposely stayed at a Radisson at a convention last year since I knew it would give me 5 nights to try one out.

opulent jewell ultra plush by simmons. if you don't have a back problem and like a soft cushy mattress, this is it. other opinions of course will vary.

concord, ca. april 2009

We will need a new one soon but it's ok right now.

It was nine feet tall and six feet wide
soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty eleven geese
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs
and a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
on Grandma's feather bed

We got ours at the Denver Mattress Factory, so I'm not much help, but a new mattress has made a HUGE difference.

We have a Serta pillow top with a 4" memory foam matterss top. I love it!! The memory foam is the way to go if you have arthritis in your hips and sleep on your sides.

I still have my big waveless waterbed and I love it.

about this time last year my back had really been hurting for awhile.
We bought a new Sealy Posturpedic around Christmas, and my back has felt great ever since.

Me too. I mean our waterbed not Manatee's.

One great thing about returning home from a vacation is getting back into that bed. I get so cranky when I keep waking up with body parts asleep from sleeping on a regular mattress.

In the winter the "already warmed up bed" is a treat.

If it ever needs to be replaced, I don't know what we'll do. Can you still buy waterbeds?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! At least not around here.


We now have a tempurpedic, and as nice as it is it is not my waterbed............we had to buy an electric blanket to pre-warm the sheets, cause they're way too cold after 30 years of a waterbed.

One of my favorite John Denver songs.

Try looking for a heated mattress pad. Like those much better than the blanket. Although I'm not needing either these days.
