So I went and bought a new mattress about a month ago..$1250...Europillowtop something or other with springs and foam.
Loved it the first week, then decided it was too soft, was nesting and giving me worse back aches than the old one i had had for 10plus years.
The store allowed 30 days for returns/exchanged so I spent ANOTHER $1600 to upgrade to a memory foam type mattress which was delivered today. Total cost is now $2850.
I am not loving paying that much for a mattress, but figured since I have back issues it was a good investment. Problem is, if this one doesn't work I can now only get store credit....which means either spending up again(DO NOT want to do), or going to a cheaper one and having to buy another mattress (which I don't need) or a bunch of sheets or pillows or something with the rest of the store credit. And it's a mattress store so it's not like I can use it for appliances or anything else.
I just don't know how people can decide in the store what will feel good over the long term. I would feel stupid returning another one, but I guess this happens all the time. I loved the one I got today when I was in the store, but I am already thinking it may be TOO firm for me.
Anyone had a similar experience? I know plenty of people who are happy with their $500 mattresses..wish I could find one of those. I've never slept on a foam mattress before so maybe this one will just take some getting used to.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
