Posturepedic Plus Norman II 13" Ultra Firm

Went today and tested some beds out. My favorite was the Beautyrest black ultra firm. Sales guy said it was a series 1 or something like that. I like the ultra firm feel, like the sealy posture pedic plus ultra firm, but like the better feel and seemingly higher quality of the Beautyrest black. It feels like there’s the right amount of cushion on top of the Beautyrest so it still feels supportive to my upper back and shoulder posture issues, but it doesn’t feel like I’m on the floor. And my girlfriend will probably appreciate the cushion a little more too. But, I’ve seen a ton of nectar ads, and I’ve see. That a lot of people recommend the Saatva firm instead. I do like Saatva’s 365 day trial so I can just send it back if it sucks or I picked wrong. Thoughts anyone?

Yes it does! With the posturepedic plus I like the feeling on my back, but even though it’s cheap I worry that when I have someone over for the night they’ll hate it, or worse, I’ll hate it when I roll onto anything other than my back. I didn’t like it nearly as much on my side or stomach when I tried it. On my stomach it felt like it was pushing on my lower ribs in an uncomfortable way.

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.

Sealy xtra firm with 3 inch memory foam topper it has worked out incredibly well as a heavier person 265 lbs side and back sleeper

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?

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.
