    You might want to take a look at how your bed is made before you buy another mattress. It doesn't sound like the bed frame is supporting the mattress. So regardless of what kind of mattress you buy it is going to start sagging again due to lack of support. Even poor quality new mattresses should last longer than a month or two. Anyways just a thought. :)

    Sleep number!! My husbnd and I are average sized. He wiggles and snores and gets hot. I just die but have neck and back pain and migraines. Since we got our sleep number 4 years ago it has been HEAVEN! He has his side firm, mine is softer. I don't feel him twitching and wiggling and neither one of us snores as much. It has helped my problems tremendously. And they are cheaper than temperpedic from what I've heard.

    Memory foam here although the guys who picked up the first one in less than a year called it "garbage foam" because that is where they haul the returns I guess :-( This one is still OK at nearly 3 years old.

    We love sleeping on it and our backs are happier than on the old regular mattress. It's not really good for sitting on but you are not really supposed to sit on any of them.

    I get hot so much that I just say my thermostat is broken but I have been fine with memory foam and we use latex foam pillows which I love. I don't think it is really makes me any hotter.

    There is a big difference in how it feels at different temps though. But when it is really hot or really cold out the HVAC is doing it's job inside :-)

    That is what i was thinking. Either the box spring isn't cutting it or the frame doesn't support the box spring. Might be worth looking into.

    I have had the sleep number bed since it first came out on recommendation of my chiropracter. Best money I ever spent. There was no adjustment period, slept thru the night the very first night. And I have had less headaches since then as well. What I would really really want now is the adjustable head and feet one but just can't justify $6,000.00. Good thing about both sleep # and tempurpedic is you have either 60 or 90 day return policy if you do not like them.

    I spend over $1200.oo for a new mattress and box spring. In less then 2 month I could feel the mattress sinking. I had the same bed for over 30 years. I never had any problems with the other matress on that bed I had brought a Setra. My co worker recently brought an another brand and had the same problem in 6 weeks. Now mattresses are only one side and can not be flip to the other side. They don't made mattress like they use to. It is the mattress and not the bed.
