My bed

Is done; no support anymore. I've been waking up with a sore back.

I'm buying a new one and am prepared to shell out some bucks to get a good one. My buddy just bought a new bed, spent a little over a grand, and said it was the best thing he ever did. Never wakes up sore, sleeps great and wakes up feeling nice and refreshed.

I'm starting to appreciate beds a lot more since I've had some recurring lower back issue. I say if you have any trouble sleeping at all and you have the means, get a new one/get it fixed. I'm appreciating sleep more and more as I get older. It's that important.

Yep, the older you get the more important it becomes. It's money well spent.

im in the same boat. Im hoping to hold out awhile by flipping it when i keep waking up with a sore back. The bad thing is i had a second bed that i gave away cause i was afraid that the mice would just eat it in storage then not to long after that i ended up with a second bedroom and im not the kind of person to give something and then take it back.

We invested in a fake tempurpedic foam type mattress. Tempurpedic is super expensive and the salespeople try to convince you that you also need their very important-super special-quite expensive box spring to support their most awesomest tempurpedic mattress....bull. So we found a store on the internet that sells similar mattresses for 1/3 of the price. I believe it's called "Bed in a box".....anyway, it's oustanding. Your body forms to this mattress, it provides great support...we love it. We put a couple of sheets of plywood between our regular box spring and this foam mattress, works like a charm......

I was on American Mattress' website and read something that made my mind up for me: "The average person spends 1/3 of their life on their mattress".
