Quote from: Gooch on May 13, 2015, 11:27:54 AMWhat kind of weirdo is buying a used mattress on Craigslist? That is the grossest thing ever.Especially a ten year old mattress and especially for a thousand bucks.I mean if you need to buy a mattress from Craigslist then you are probably too poor to pay more than $50 for it.

in the end, EMAW will always win.
I will warn you we loved out memory foam mattress at first, but overtime as it's gotten softer, we wish we had more support.
I've seen used mattresses sell like crazy from hotels I've worked at.

Same. Cloud delux. It is fantastic. Have had it for several yrs and it is amazing. I did start having some neck issues a while back and started sleeping without a pillow at all, and boom...great sleep, no neck issue. The cloud contours well enough that I don't need a pillow.

They aren't cheap. They come with a 25 year warranty, and the only way you get that warranty is if you use some sort of special mattress cover.It's my understanding that memory foam beds, at least Tempurpedic, are immune to a lot of things like bed bugs and stuff like that. So, as long as it's wrapped in the mattress cover, you're probably fine.Besides, memory foam beds get really comfortable between 3-5 years. That's my experience. I mean, mine is quite possibly the most comfortable anything I've ever come across.

Would you rather sleep on a bed used by 1,000 people one time or by one person 1,000 times?

Cuz i ain't breaking in one for that long.
somebody try a casper.com mattress. they are advertising their balls off. trying to be the warby parker of mattresses i think.

Probably should just go with separate bedrooms. I can barely sleep due to his snoring sometimes anyway.

I got this when I moved, because it could be delivered the day I moved. Cheap enough I assumed that I would replace it pretty soon, but over a year later I still love it, and it was essentially free.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L9VANK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I tried them for the first time last night. I felt more rested when I woke up this morning. small sample size, anecdotal evidence, etc.

Put one on him in his sleep.
