Tips on buying a mattress?!


Question: My wife and I sleep on a futon. The mattress has proven to be too hard, as evidenced by staying at a top hotel in Sydney and sleeping like the dead with the room's great softer inner spring mattress.

We would like to buy a new mattress, but use the futon base, which is wooden slats.

Will the mattress be too heavy for the futon base?

Will the futon base cancel out the orthopeadic effects of the new mattress? Note that we are prepared to spend good money to get a good product.

Should we get rid of the futon base and just purchase a full ensemble instead?

I think you would be better off with a regular bed instead of the futon. Staying with the futon sort of defeats the purpose of buying a new mattress.
I learned a tip about buying a new mattress. Buy a last years model and save quite a bit of money. I have done this many times and have gotten some great mattresses at a discount

I would recommend getting rid of the Futon its terrible for your back. Not to mention a matterss is too heavy for it. I would recommend geting something similar to the Temperpedic bed, but cheaper. Check out http://www.angelbeds.com/ it is half the price! I have one myself.. at first it was difficult to get used too, but recently i tried sleeping in a normal spring matress bed... i woke up stiff and sore, now i cant go back, it is AWESOME...

if you want the answer that bad you should ask some expert or sumthin instead of going to yahoo.com
