Mattress Shopping

I'm up late and was looking through my old posts and thought I'd give an update to this one. My wife and I finally decided on a Serta memory foam mattress with the cooling gel top. It came with a 100 day comfort guarantee. After the first night, I absolutely hated it and was ready to take it back. After a week or so I wouldn't trade it for nothing. I have herniated disks in my back and chronic back pain, and after 3 wks with the mattress I feel better in the morning than I have in quite some time. It does sleep hotter than a conventional mattress, but we got rid of one layer of covers and it is fine now. Should be great in the wintertime. Certain intimate activities are a bit awkward without the bounce of a conventional spring mattress, but we'll just keep trying til we get that issue worked out, lol. I spent way more than I wanted to on this mattress, but so far I couldn't be happier with it. Just thought I'd share.
