Delfino Nights Pillow Top Firm

I have the exact same issue and I’m only a few years older. My problems started right around your age and it’s been an absolute nightmare. The issue can be due to several things and you should take pictures of your back to really see what’s going on with your spine. Most mattresses cause me to sink unevenly with my hips sinking much more than my shoulders. This causes the spinal sagging and leads to lower back and some mid back pain. The only mattresses that I’ve slept well on are the Serta (perfect sleeper specifically) ones with zoned support. My parents have one and I could not for the life of me figure out what it was until recently. I’m not advocating for that brand, it’s the last one I wanted since I’ve had other mattresses from them without the zones and slept horribly. However, I’ve slept on 3 different ones while traveling for work and slept better in the hotel beds than my own. They all happened to be the same mattress which is no surprise given I stayed at the same chain, but it reaffirmed what I believed. A lumbar pillow has helped but it’s nowhere near as good as having the full support. I don’t imagine a soft mattress will fix this if you’re sinking unevenly. Depending on the construction, the weight at your pressure points will cause the mattress get pulled downward further out so you won’t get support at your mid section, you’ll just sink more. Hopefully you’re able to find something that works or at least have more insight on what to research

We recently got a Serta Perfect Sleeper and I absolutely love it.

I myself use Serta Classic Latex. My parents use Serta Perfect Sleeper. My mother has L4-L5 disc compression issue. My father too suffers from back pain at times. They couldn't be happier about the mattress comfort. To be fair, I have near 99% positive feedback on Serta Mattress irrespective of the model. You just have to specify your comfort and firmness type and ofcourse budget. My personal favourite is Classic Latex, Ipedic, Perfect spine and ofcourse Perfect Sleeper.. These are our best sellers and have 100% positve reviews on it.

I would recommend the Serta Perfect Sleeper from Bed Bath and Beyond. It’s firm but also has a pillow top if you want. I think we paid like $800 for a King size so a full should be less than that. We slept on this mattress at an Air BnB we stayed at. I liked it so much that I took the sheets off to find out what kind of mattress it was.

Its a hand me down so I couldn't tell you its cost/price when it was purchased. Those tags are the only things I have to go off of. The Serta Perfect Sleeper and Sleepy Basic Hybrid are just the names of the mattresses respectively. Even after reading through this post and reading through all the comments (which I do highly appreciate), I still dont really have a concrete answer as to why the old one doesnt run as hot and is slightly more comfortable outside of a super basic answer like: "I guess one is just more expensive than the other, idk". Which is understandable and makes sense, but ultimately I was hoping for an answer thats a bit more nuanced/unique and helps me understand mattresses more.

You're on the right track with zoned coils. Helix midnight luxe, winkbed luxury firm, avocado plush (that might be too soft), and Serta perfect sleeper all use zoned coils. I'd try them out in person if you can. If you can't i think most of them (the helix for sure) has a 120 night sleep trial.

Yep. One reviewer says a bed is the hardest thing ever. Next reviewer sent it back due to being too soft. On and on it goes. Most reviews seem to be on bed in a bag type stuff. Since Covid, quality has died basically, except for Weber grills. I had a Serta Perfect Sleeper that was great for 7 years then started needing replaced. I doubt I'll find another like it that will last 5 years. Everyone is pushing bed in a bag. I settled on Saatva and ordered their luxury firm...but then got note it's going to be another 3 weeks yet. Forget it. I canceled and told them I'll go to Macy's. I am looking now at the Stearns and Foster Luxe Estate tight top. I am 229 so need something to hold up better for heavier people. My Serta did and I took old advisement from a mattress forum to get a firm bed and a 3" talaly topper. This time, I am going to get a medium bed and the 3" talalay latex topper....in medium. Just change out the topper when needed after a few years. The S&F Luxe Estate is supposed to hold up well for heavier folks. Better than the Saatva from what I can see. If not the S&F mattress...then the Beautyrest Black. I'll try them both out tomorrow.
