Mr. Wonderful and I need a new bed. He has a sore back and my hips get sore at night. I would prefer not being disturbed at night because lately I am such a light sleeper. I just want to love my bed. Any suggestions on what to look for?
Our first bed we spent almost $400 it was a double and it wore out in about 2 years but we kept it for 4 or 5. Our second bed was a queen and came to us second hand. I enjoy the extra space but it has molded to someone else's body so its uncomfortable. We can't go up to a King because our room is too small.
My husbands Chiropractor said you need to spend about $100 for every year you want it to last so I'm prepared to spend the money. We have some savings and if we can sleep well for Christmas that will be the best Christmas present ever. One thing I want is a pillow top. I'm all about comfort. What else I need I don't know.
The floor is now open for suggestions. Give me a Beducation. At least share a bad bed experience misery loves company.

I love my king sized bed! That said, a queen is very acceptable as well :-)
My in-laws got a sleep number bed a few years ago, they swear that they have never slept better. It is full of air, so it never wears out or becomes lumpy. I haven't slept on one, but from everything they have raved about, i can't wait to get mine!
Here is something I CAN tell you about...we bought at Leon's and used their guarantee...so if I didn't like the bed I could return it for another.
That being said, stay away from the latex foam toppers...eeeekkk they are HOT..make you sweat like freaking crazy. I love my queen, mid-range, regular foam topper set. Go to the store you are thinking of buying at without the kids and both of you "sleep" on them for about 15 minutes each. Pick the one you like the best. We love ours. Hope that is some semblance of advice that might help.

We LOVE our pillow top cushy yet firm bed and purchased it at "Sofa & Bedroom Depot" which just seemed cheesy to me at the beginning but we shopped and shopped and they were by far the best price, ours is top of the line, and the staff were super! Not pushy, amazingly helpful and willing to deal a little. We even got W's custom made crib mattress there as well. I can't say enough good about them.
Happy sleeping! There is NOTHING like a good night's sleep.
If money were no object my husband would be sleeping on a Kingsdown Pillowtop Mattress (try one out when you're mattress shopping -- there is a difference from regular pillowtops,) and I on a Tempurpedic (I've wanted one of those before anyone knew what they were.) I guess it's a good thing that money is an object or we'd be in two different beds!
That said, mattress shopping takes time. Kris is right, go without the kids and try out all the beds.
But the most important advice I can give you is: ROTATE YOUR MATTRESS EVERY THREE MONTHS!!!!! (I always know we're overdue when I start waking up sore. We're not great at remembering to rotate but I'm making a new effort.) It prolongs the life and comfort of your mattress and will reduce the wear.
All I can say is to try out lots and lots of mattresses until you find the one you love. Oh, and my aunt has one of those sleep-number beds, too. She and my uncle swear by it. AND ou never have to rotate it.
I wanted a pillowtop when we bought ours, but Ches didm't. So we compromised and got me a body pillow. That didn't cut it. After having Dallin, Ches surprised me when I came home from the hospital with a memory foam for the bed. It is awesome! We love it. It has made the bed so much more comfortable for both of us, and we like completely different firmness and everything (another good reason to get a sleep-number).
Good luck!!
When I was first pregnant with the twins we had the worlds oldest, crappiest, hardest futon on the planet. I had to insist we get a new mattress, because CH said he LIKED it. But I HATED it. I won. We got our new one from Sears. I was too tired to shop around for prices. But our bed is now nice and cozy! I would take Mrs. M's advice.
