Have wanted to buy something different so perhaps we'll look into sleep number because while I love the memory foam, I hate that sinking feeling.
Is the bed you're referring to a Tempurpedic memory foam mattress? I looked at a memory foam mattress and was considering buying it until I heard that some people say they have a hard time getting out of them...like the feeling of being stuck in the foam and also the "hot" feeling because heat does build up.
No, the Vera Wang memory foam mattress is what we bought and we got the higher priced with the extra support on the edge. We also chose the low profile box spring, so the height doesn't have anything to do with the sagging. I believe sagging is connected to the regular foam below the deep layer of memory foam. We were told that the lower layer (non-memory foam) is what keeps it from getting too hot. The full memory foam mattress (like Tempurpedic) can become hot. We were also told to be sure to get the extra firmness on the edge so we don't slip off when sitting or sleeping on the edge... because that is where I tend to sleep. And, if I'm in the bed by myself there is no problem with sagging anywhere... it's just happens when there's more than one person in the bed.
