The good news is I've found a mattress I want. The bad news is, it costs twice what I want to spend.
I wish I didn't have such good taste!
I never knew how complicated mattress shopping was. I think it's worse than buying a car, only you're not spending quite as much money. But it's harder to comparison shop for mattresses than cars, because there's less information and the model names change in every store. I think the industry goes out of its way to confuse consumers. In the past month, in between school and work, I've been educating myself about coils and gauges and pillowtops and plushes and brand names and side support and frames and foundations and viscose foam and latex and warranties and ... whew, it's a lot of work. I guess I shouldn't complain. I'm fortunate to be getting a big enough tax return that I can even think about this stuff.
I just hope that the investment will pay off in less back pain and better sleep. Cuz I sure need it.

There IS a lot to learn when buying a mattress - you're so right - it's not as simple as it used to be - or maybe even SHOULD be.
But you did your homework - I'm proud of you. I'm sure you'll be rewarded with just the right mattress and one that keeps your back pain-free!
Have a great day Patia!
