Mattress Forum

   I read as much as I could from old posts, but a lot of the posts I saw didnt help narrow anything down for me.  I'll start by saying that I am looking for a medium-firm mattress in KING size.  Not only do I like the feel of medium-firm and some plush-firms, I hear they are better for us back sufferers.  I want to spend 2,000 or under TOTAL.

 I went today and slept on a TON of beds and found the most comfortable for me was the "SIMMONS BEAUTYREST World-Class Plush-Firm.......".  It wasnt a pillowtop and had only a little padding on top the coils.   I come to this site though, hoping to find good reviews, and am really disappointed.  All reviews found here on the Beautyrest are negative. 

The only two mattresses I have ever had have BOTH been Sealy Posturepedics and BOTH sagged horribly in the middle after 6 months.  I don't want the same experience for me and my new wife.  And even though the Beautyrest was so comfortable, I dont want something with bad reviews from other people. 

 I always like to make the best informed decision possible, I just feel lost in trying to make the best choice.  I even tried to find a flip-style model, as I read on here that may be the best bet, but I was told time and time again that those werent made anymore.  Need some help here.  Again, looking for medium-firm, under 2,000, and something that wont breakdown under normal circumstances.  Open to any suggestions.    Thanks.
