So I decided to cut open my Serta Baywatch Perfect Sleeper (purchased in 2000) to see what was causing the excessive sagging. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the springs and not the foam. There was very little foam at all - three layers that were each maybe 1/4 inch thick. SOOOO disappointing. I could clearly see that the shape of the mattress without the padding was exactly the same as it is with the padding. The center springs are shot. So, as a temporary fix, I folded up some blankets and layed them vertically along the center of the box springs so that they would push the center of the mattress up into a more comfortable position. It made for a much more comfortable sleep last night...no back pain! However, I have no idea how long this fix will last, so hopefully I'll be ordering our Flobed soon.

 

Thanks to all of you for your help. I did take pics and will add them to this thread as soon as I upload them.
