My husband and I are in need of a new mattress. For context, we own a queen size original Casper memory foam mattress purchased in 2018. I have had shoulder and neck pain from it for the past few years, but recently it is becoming much worse.
Weight/height: I am 105lbs, 5ft and my husband is 170lbs, 5’9”.
Sleep position: I am a combo, but mostly side and stomach. I toss and turn a lot. My husband is primarily a back sleeper, sometimes side.
Current issues: The mattress provides me no support and creates a lot of neck and shoulder pain. I think I am too light to sink into it. Especially obvious when my husband is also in bed because all of the support falls on his side and I feel like I’m rolling into him. There is also no edge support which we kinda need on a queen sized bed. My husband experiences periodic back and shoulder pain, but has admitted he doesn’t have as many issues as I do (hence why I’m writing this post).
I have found I sleep far better on hotel beds, Japanese futons and my couch (where I end up half the time lol).
I am looking at the following mattresses:
\- Tempurpedic pro adapt medium hybrid
\- Winkbed luxury firm
\- Saatva Classic in luxury firm (or plush soft? Not sure yet)
My budget is $2,500
Anyone similar size as me have experience with these mattresses?
Yes, you’re right. I just tried the Winkbed luxury firm and it’s too firm for me. My partner did not like the Leesa.
Any thoughts on the Helix Midnight Luxe?
I wish we had splurged for an avocado or naturepedic but it just wasn’t in the budget as newlyweds! We have had our wink bed for 5 years, and it has been great to us. It avoids most of the nasties.

This guys technical reviews with actual testing data was a god send. And we bought a WinkBed in 2023 and love it. His data allows you to pick a mattress based on your needs and not just someone’s opinion.

We bought purple and we have an expensive Anthropologie bed. Sagged in five seconds. Got a replacement, sagged. No, some of us aren’t whiny. The actual truth is the old say that they don’t make things like appliances, cars and mattresses like they used to is true. We moved on to Wink, crap. It’s all crap. Was looking at a Coyuchi mattress… rotate it every two weeks… uhhh crap.
