My husband and I bought a Sterns and Foster mattress from Mattressfirm 6 years ago. The past 2 years have been horrible sleeping on this mattress. It sags and gives us horible back pain. My husband wants something firm and something that is 2 sided. I have fallen in love with this one:

So my questions are, is it really better to have a 2 sided mattress and what are your thoughts or opinions on the simmons Elderberry Visco I linked above.

The issue with two-sided mattresses is that when you are laying on the bed, the foam on the underside is still being crushed and sandwiched between the mattress and the boxspring. Therefore, when you flip it over the foam is no better than the other side. Also, when you have all of that foam on the underside of the mattress, the coil system will start to sink and settle into them causing some support issues. Have you tried to contact Mattress Firm about the warranty on the mattress? They may be able to replace the old one for you instead of having to buy a new one. |

Really Awesome !! Also,the Simmons Beautyrest Aikenton Firm is a great bed from a top five manufacturer, for under $750 for the queen set! It’s got a firm feel, with firm padding and a firm coil system. The Aikenton Firm is great for back and stomach sleepers, and for those who are easily disturbed while sleeping. The individually pocketed coils conform independently to the curves in your body, offering contouring support, as well as localizing motion. This mattress is foam encased, so you can sleep on the edge of the bed without feeling like you’re falling off; foam encasement makes the mattress feel 30% larger. The Aikenton has a ten year full replacement warranty. This message was modified Mar 30, 2013 by a moderator

| spring mattresses are going to sag.. If that is really a concern latex gives the support feel of spring but will tend to outlast springs. |

I have a 20 year old beautyrest in my guest room that doesn't sag. I used it before going to latex, which softned up (sagged by some folks definition) to much for me after 3 years (another opinion). |
