I think mine is over 12 years old. But a new cooling mattress pad cover, cooling sheets/pillowcases and cooling pillows reinvigorated my sleep.
We bought one of memory foam mattresses from Sams Club. We've only had it for a year and a half and it has big dents. It only cost $600 so I'm not too surprised. Our next one is going to be a traditional spring mattress and I'm going to spend the actual $$$ because my back is killing me now.
I only know that our mattress (only able to sleep on one side) is due to the springs being on the "bottom" of the mattress with no padding over them.I hate pillow top and memory foam mattresses, but they are the norm and it's really hard to find a traditional mattress that we can afford. Here's my question: WHY can't you flip a pillow top or memory foam? I get that the top will compress, but is that actually bad? Is it impossible to sleep on the other side? Has anyone tried this?
I hadn't purchased a mattress in years until I moved to NC 13 years ago. I didn't see the mattress when It was delivered and the bed and mattress was assembled. The following year I decided to flip it over, but there was no flip over. I believe that is known as planned obsolescence. What a rip off. turning over ones mattress was the same as rotating tires on your car. You do that to even the wear and make them last longer. I was one unhappy camper when I realized it.I only know that our mattress (only able to sleep on one side) is due to the springs being on the "bottom" of the mattress with no padding over them.
