Mattress Shpping.

I would buy a sleep number bed. I have a queen and it is the best bed I have ever owned/slept on. They can be a bit pricey but they are guaranteed to last you at least 25 years. The best I can tell you is that it is like when the Care Bears would sleep on the clouds. I implore you to go check them out before buying a regular mattress.

As an adult you spend nearly a third of your life on a mattress. A child spends even more time. It's a big deal, at least to me. Make sure you set aside some time and try to test each model thoroughly. Buying a mattress shouldn't be an in-and-out procedure. Also, buy the biggest you can afford. No one complains their bed is too big.

Ethan, go to Metro Mattress in Pittsford or one of the many places around the area... you can buy it there and they usually ship stuff for free.

I just went through a long process in deciding on the mattress I wanted to buy.

We'd been on a sagging Queen mattress that came with the bed and I was experiencing lots of back pain each morning.

I knew it had to be a king or larger and headed out to look at a Sleep Number at my chiropractor's suggestion. Didn't care for it.

Came VERY close to special ordering a Marriott mattress, which I sleep on a lot and find to be one of the best in the world.

Tried the Tempurpedic memory foam and felt it to make me feel sucked into the mattress and hot.

After 3 weeks of trying out and researching, wound up with the Simmons Beauty Rest World Class line.

The manufacturers change the name of the particular mattress depending on the store selling it, but it's this one with several different levels of foam over pocketed coils topped with a plush pillow top, which was the part that all the mattresses I liked had, including the Marriott mattress.

The price shocked me a bit, but after it was rationalized that you spend 30% of your life in bed, I made the leap and have loved it.

I also realized that when you're young, soft is about all that matters and spending a couple thousand on a mattress is something I wouldn't have ever dreamed of. When you hit mid life, that changes.
