Reporting back in.....at first the new pillow top felt much firmer than the one in the showroom. We even questioned that the salesperson ordered the correct mattress. Anyhow, took it for a spin last night. Fell asleep in probably less than 15 minutes which is unusual for me so that would be around 11:15, never woke up until 4:30 for a potty call. Can't remember the last time I didn't toss and turn and wake up every hour. When I got up at that time, was amazed I could actuallly stand up straight and my spine didn't hurt. Also did not wake up with hotflashes. I'm sure I had a couple but were mild enough not to wake me. With the heated waterbed I'd lay there cooking for what felt like hours. This just might be a significant quality of life improvement. Woooooo Whooooo!
