Well, the time has come. Our $300 special we bought the day I moved from home has served it's useful life (8 years). Time for an upgrade...my lower back has been killing me!
I'm totally unsure what to do now. Do we go with a tempur-pedic style bed? I've laid in them and love the feel...but hear complaints of them being too hot, etc.
An air-bed with a pump?
Maybe a DIY tempurpedic to save a few bucks?
Or stick with a classic bed? Ours now is a pillow top which I think feels nice, but doesnt help with the support....but maybe that's because it's a cheap matress?
I'm a stomach sleeper....not good says the doc, but that's the way it is. So i need something that wont sag and turn me into hammock-shaped person by the end of the night.
What should I expect to pay for a GOOD bed that will last me more than 10 years?
There's an ad right now that if you buy any Sealy bed for $999+ you get a free 32" LCD at a local store. My wife was all excited til I explained that the cost is wrapped into the bed! Plus, we dont NEED a TV! We have 3 LCD's as it is!! She kept coming up with places to put the 'free' tv and i scoffed. No more than ONE HOUR LATER..I hear a tremendous BANG. Our son had managed to get our30" RCA Tube tv to topple over off the stand....all the plugs stayed in, and as such, ripped the inner board free and rendered it useless. Very wierd. Also very lucky he did not get crushed by this 120 lb TV!!
