We are on an old watered frame with osb covering the frame.
We have an old Sealy extra firm king size box spring and mattress.
We really liked the set up. But it's about 10 years past it's lifespan.
Do you have any recommendations for what to buy and/or where?
Typically when a customer is trying to choose between two beds one softer and one firmer but they can’t decide I will recommend the softer bed as long as it gives them proper support because generally it’s going to give better pressure relief. Do you know what the models of the posture pedic are because it could make sense like a high point or brenham firm will contour more and maybe feel softer than an Albany or Pro medium. At the end of the day trust your body.
I suggest staying AWAY from firm and depending on your weight, possibly even staying away from medium firm.
Depending on your weight, you might try the 12" Zinus Green Tea Cooling Memory Foam medium mattress. *If you order it direct from Zinus, they offer a 100 night guarantee
We recently slept on this mattress for 60+days while in temporary housing and neither of us had back/hip issues and we slept amazing and solid through the nights.
We are both lightweight (126 & 175lb) side sleepers.
Also, our backs / hips never bother us when sleeping on Marriott brand hotel mattresses.
Firm and medium firm traditional and memory foam mattresses have ALWAYS caused us problems.
We have tried:
-Traditional individually coiled firm Sealy Posturepedic
-14" Medium Firm Novaform
-12" Comfort Tech Serene (husband accidentally ordered firm instead of medium and we kept it instead of returning it)
All those mattresses have caused us issues.
I did further research and narrowed it down to needing either a medium Memory Foam or Medium Plush Hybrid. The medium plush hybrid would closer match what the hotels use so we're in the decision process of which to purchase.
Sealy Posturepedic Elite Brenham II. Had lots more foam layers, and you sink into it. Not for us, but sleepers who are looking for that + warmth will like it.
i know there are cooling mattresses, cooling mattress toppers, but i'll also mention cooling sheets. best sheets i ever got, that i actually had to switch out for jersey sheets in winter, were sijo eucalyptus sheets. i've seen very similar sheets on amazon, but not the same quality. they almost made me too cold, they were so breathable and cooling. natural fibers and even wool can help with temperature regulation. idk what kind of mattress you are looking for, but i recently got a sealy posturepedic elite brenham II and the quilted top is really damn comfy and plush even at medium firmness, and it's really breathable.
