We spent 10 years on a full sized Simmons Beauty Rest.....always a comfortable good nights sleep...

Then we decided to upsize to a queen....

First mattress: Emerald Sleep systems 3.0 lb. Euro-top queen.....lasted two night and the mattress generated back pain that was unbearable...

Second mattress: Firm Sealy Posturepedic queen.....starts off very comfortable, 2:00 am, dull annoying back pain.....next..... 

Third mattress: Any suggestions.....???   Cotton/innerspring futon....???    Sleep Number....????

Keep the Sealy - I assume it has the offset springs? If it's firm, I'd keep it and do mattress surgery on it. See the Highlighted topics at the top of the page.

Is it a flippable mattress if it is new?  If it works I guess it works.  Good for you.
