Posturepedic Plus Norman II 13" Ultra Firm

Omg! I have a lot to say. I recently upgraded to a mattress that addresses my need for lumbar support, the Sealy Posturepedic® Ashurst II 13" Firm Mattress, and it's extremely solid and supporting... I wake up feeling really good physically after having major back and spine pain issues last year, which is so worth it in and of itself. In terms of comforters, I buy real down comforter from Landsend or LL Bean (Company Store has some too), I typically buy sheets and duvet covers from the same places, and I've found that changing the sheets every two weeks or so helps to keep everything feeling really comfortable and fresh. The final thing is that I sleep with two down pillows stacked (so four down pillows on a double bed), which both makes the bed look good and feel nice to sleep in.

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?

Bought a Sealy Posturepedic Plus about 4 years ago and love(d) it until we noticed some sagging last year. It’s unfortunately gotten worse no matter how many times we’ve rotated it. Hubby and I are light weights and we travel about half the year so we estimate 50% the normal usage? Lets hope their warranty is fair. Our friends bought Casper around the same time and they’ve had no issues. I read that if you buy it online they will pick up for free if needed, so maybe consider online.

Yeah man, I hear that. I’ve been having problems from an overloaded delivery route for the last 10 years. I returned a firm Sealy posturpedic plus a while back, the previous model to these newer ones. And I’ve tried and returned countless mattresses over these years with no success. I’m in the process of trying to get layers for an all foam DIY.

Whatever it is it needs to be soft. This might be one of those scenarios where all the high density foams they talk about in this subreddit might be too dense for you to even imprint reasonably, so might be better off with a lower end version of something than the mid or high end (like a Sealy Posturepedic Plus instead of the Pro or Elite lines, for a less dense foam and skipping the extra lumbar support). Otherwise if you're going higher end probably something with some sort of fluffy wool or cotton pillow top. I definitely agree with the head boss of this subreddit though, that the best thing anyone can do before buying a mattress is going to one of those big mattress stores to actually try some stuff and see what you actually like. And if you find something you love for the right price, then you don't have to worry about mattresses anymore.

I bought a posturepedic around 2010 and it was the worst. Never got a good night sleep.
