I bought a Purple because I'm #1cat. Love it. Was really pricey but absolutely worth it imo. Love that egg crate technology.

Considering, but its a bit pricey. May sweat it out for a bit and just get a new mattress that isn't like sleeping on soft lava.

I sleep incredibly hot and mrs. dave incredibly cold. so I bought this thing

https://www.chilitechnology.com/products/ooler-sleep-system

and, folks, it rules. It keeps me at the perfect temperature all night. cannot recommend enough. Before I would toss and turn a lot to adjust and now I just sleep through the entire night and I feel more rested.

I am getting an 8Sleep Pod Pro Cover cover to replace this. Not because the ooler doesn't rule because it for sure does and has changed my sleep dramatically for the better. but because mrs. dave wants one on her side to warm the bed up before cooling it off and I don't want two separate units. I'm probably going to just put the ooler in a box and pack it for travel. also the 8sleep has a bunch of sleep monitoring stuff and more advanced features. I'll review this thing in like a month. Not supposed to be here until end of Sep anyway.

You better not flake out on your promised review. This expensive, non-essential product seems right up my alley.

I'm new here and I just want to mention that, depending on the type of mattress and your individual preferences, it could take anywhere from a few nights to a few weeks to get used to it. However, if your back is still hurting after a few weeks, it might be worth checking if the mattress is right for you. You could also try adding a mattress topper or changing your sleeping position to see if that helps. And if you're ever in need of mattress recommendations or tips for better sleep, check out Sleep Underground's website. They've got some great resources to help you get the best possible rest!

I still only have the Ooler which continues to rule and has not leaked. 8sleep will happen at some point.

I have purchased a number of casper mattresses off the casper site, but i recently bought two that were second-hand.  Ran across this dude who handles returns and resells them at less than half price (other brands too).  They clean them (allegedly) and put them in plastic wrap...they aren't visibly worn at all.  Could have had dead bodies on them, or people having sex with dead bodies.  Who knows, but that's part of the fun isn't it!?!

once you get past the first night it's no longer gross and you never think about it again, so it's a good savings.

Living in the Jaw for the last almost year my best 1k investment has been buying a good mattress with casper, who I also have one back at home.

Not to stan them, but in general, I don't care who you are, buying a mattress even if it's more expensive is always worth it's weight in gold. Few things in life compare to a good nights sleep, you have to do it right or else you are hurting your body, and therefore your mind, and thus the quality of your life.

We're probably going to get our 3rd different one in the last 5 years. 1st one was too firm. Current one is a pillowtop that has indentations where we lay. Big bump in the middle and we miss our 1st one.

Caspers are great if you like sleeping on the surface of the sun. Very comfy though.

I don't know if this is considered the Master sleep thread or not. One of my buddies just texted me and said that with his new job he has to be in the office at 7am. Has about a 30 minute commute. We are trying to find time in the week to hang out. He said he has to get his 8 hours of sleep at least or he cannot function.

I on the other hand can go with anywhere from 5-7 hours of sleep and be fine. Have I evolved? I have been like this a majority of my life.

I think some people just sleep very shitty which makes the 8 hours a requirement v. you who maybe sleeps super hard for 6 hours.

On that note I find that if I take some l-theanine and inositol near bedtime my sleep quality is noticeably better. highly recommend.

No, we will live to 110+ easy.

While I can function on 4-5 no problem, i still prefer 6-7. This is a new thing for me since having kids.
