I'm still sleeping soundly on my California King sized full motion waterbed that i've had for 35 years now. We did change the $100 bed bladder, and a $50 heater, but don't see a need to buy a $2000 bed frame/mattress that we then need to replace every 10 years.

Oh, BTW, it is fully adjustable also (just add or subtract water,)and turn the dial for more heat.

WTF? I'd look around, At $5K it better be giving me a hand job every night.

I bought a 4"-$200 gel topper for my stock Coachman RV last month, at COSTCO, THAT was worth it.

Doing some research I came across the Tuft&Needle mattress. It gets high marks for heat dissipation. $750 and if you don't like it after 30 days they'll give you your money back and send someone to pick it up.

I always have a lie down in-store. I've had mattresses too soft before giving me a sore back/headache.

Edit: I'd like to have a lie down with her!

Sleep Number (Select Comfort) mattress here, going strong 10 years in, I'm very happy with it. Doesn't collect dead skin and dead parasites (being plastic). Allows different firmness for wife and I.

It's very spendy - the retail guy said they are price controlled and will be the same price everywhere - $5600. On-line from Sealy they are $4299. We are still looking, but she is sold on the gel top. It gets good reviews and apparently really does stay cool all night. The price is crazy high though.

The gf and I tried many, many mattresses and got the Tempurpedic Contour Elite. She loves the bed, but the mattress does get hot. Gonna spend the extra $1k and upgrade to the Breeze. $5600. I can't believe I'm spending that much for a bed.

I absolutely love my Aireloom. Most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on period.

There are a lot of new ones. I might pull the trigger on one of these.

Direct to consumer. Good return policy.

Costco sells mattresses too, with a good return policy as well.

I have their mattress. It's 100 nights. Zero questions refund policy.
I've always felt 30 nights wasn't enough.
Give it a try.

Their policy is a minimum of 30 days, maximum of 100. I think I'll try it. Unless there is something in the fine print I don't have anything to lose.

I have a $2,400 coil spring mattress with a pillow top. I think it's fantastic, but I'm not picky about mattresses. I suspect any of the online free delivery foam mattresses would suit me. I did not choose mine, my ex did, but i like it.

What I did find was that my expensive box spring and mattress were very tall when stacked, and I had to make a new base for it. On my old bed frame it was simply too far off the ground.

I just ordered the Tuft&Needle, $750 all in, no tax or shipping. It gets great reviews. If we don't like it after 30 days (they insist that you give it at least that long) I'll call them and they'll refund my money. Between the price and the return policy I don't see how I can lose even if we hate it. BTW I'm not getting rid of the old mattress until I know we like whatever new one we land on.
