Beds Peeps

I want input from any and all. I WILL get a new bed. Ours is conspiring to kill us out of decrepitude and probably mean-spiritedness. I have to have a new bed so that my sciatic nerves, spinal cord, internal organs and feet don't fall off my body or out of it.

So, what do you recommend? I want a king size heavenly bed that will enclose me in its arms with love and support. I do not want to spend $3,000. I would be willing to go $1,000-1,200, but, obviously I would prefer cheaper.

Thank you for your participation. I'll keep a light on in the window for you.

That doesn't look half bad for a two-footer. No kidding.

It's pretty good. I got one like this first for Annie, who really needed as much comfort and space as possible. I've slept on it. Slept well, too.

I love the mattress I got when I got my house about 2 1/2 years ago. It's the same material as the Tempur-Pedic but locally made. Mine cost $800 vs $2000+ for the Tempur-Pedic. I passed on the motorized frame that adjusts like a hospital bed.

What is the brand name and is it available at a local type store?

I'd have to check tonight but you'll probably find other similar brands closer to you.

I'd probably enjoy a stone bed, so I'm no help to normal people...

That's really pretty. But I'm thinking Dot and Merv would slip and slide on it. I'm also partial to my bones.

Did you fail to notice who posted the original question?

I have one of those memory foam thingies - where you can bounce on one side and not spill a glass of wine sitting on the other side. I like it a lot - sleeping well. My son bought if for me, though, so I don't know how much it cost.

I'm glad you caught Mini's error. I was wondering to whom she was referring as well...
I'm gonna check out the memory foam.

As usual, you guys crack the heck outta me...

Hey Beebs- after too many years of waking up miserable, and before spending a fortune on a new mattress myself, I decided to just "try out" one of those Memory Foam Mattress Toppers first... and well hell, it's heaven. I picked up a king size "Fieldcrest Supreme 3" Layered Spring Foam Technology" baby on sale at Target for about $160, and I'd think seriously about hurting the fool who'd even joke about taking it away from me now... Hubby said it felt like being inside a coffin at first, but he finally admits it's amazing.

My highest bedding ambition is a down featherbed. I've wanted one since the first time I slept on such cloudlike perfection in a lovely Bavarian inn on the banks of Lake Konstanz long, long ago.

Maybe I can start thinking again about getting one since my list of other wants and needs has gotten shorter since then.

See, that's something we need to consider. Get a less expensive set of springs and all and try that, maybe?
