Hello,

I've had a recurring problem with mattresses throughout my life.  In particular, they seem to sink in about a quarter of the way down my spine, and cause back pain and discomfort.  This has affected my posture and quality of sleep, and now I've got a vertebra that protrudes slightly in that area.  I'm looking for a mattress that is least prone to this problem.

Of course, the mattresses I've encountred don't sink in immediately, but it only takes about 1.5 - 2 years for this to happen (I flip and rotate them too; plywood doesn't remedy the problem).  This may be a result of buying mattresses locally and getting ripped off, but I've never really payed attention to the problem until now.

Is the solution a firmer mattress?  Will that be less prone to sinking in?  I really don't have any knowledge of mattresses and I don't trust local merchants, so I'm hoping someone knowledgeable in mattresses can help me out.

Thanks

Well, if no one has any thoughts on the two mattresses linked to in my previous post, then how much should I expect to spend for a twin xl?
