I have a Stearns and Foster mattress. It may be close to ten years old. It’s a brand that has been around for a long time. It’s in great condition. Love my mattress.

The mattress companies sold out -- that's why many mattresses are JUNK and sink in the middle. They need to be made in America.

Last year I purchased from a local mattress store - Simmons Beautyrest, Silver, Luxury, Firm Queen. It's actually medium/firm -- and so so comfortable. I always suggest buying from Costco - they have many choices and reviews on-line OR a local mattress store - check out yelp.

We just got rid of our Serta pillow top last week, @Annabellethecat66. It was less than 6 yrs old. We had to take a flying leap to get in it at night!  It was so uncomfortable and it was hard to turn over from your back to side or vv.  

 

We went to a local mattress store, and I told the man who helped us that I did NOT want pillow top, gel, or any kind of foam, and it had to be flippable.  I also wanted reinforced sides. In other words, a mattress from the old days. 

 

It’s called Ultra Firm Orthopedic and is made in the USA. We love it so far. Time will tell...  We didn’t have to pay extra for the reinforced sides, and we can just sit on it to lie down!

@Ruby Laine I went with a friend and bought a top of the line Sleep Number Bed recently.

 

Many people I know have some form of Sleep Number Beds so we will see.

 

It's due to be delivered mid October.  It was expensive, but I got it 1/2 price (special sale).

 

Mainly I wanted one that raises and lowers the head and feet.  This one is the one you see where it adjusts while you sleep, etc.  It's a Queen and since I am a widow and sleep alone I didn't want one with split sides.

 

I can't tell you how terrible this Serta mattress is.  Like you, it's like a mountain but I think the sides have broken down because you can't even sit on the edges of the bed (you slide right off of the bed).  It's crazy!  Even when I turn it, both sides are like that!

 

I have very, very bad back problems so I'm hoping it will make my sleeping time better.  

 

It's amazing to me how many people have Sleep Number Beds.  I wish I'd bought one a long time ago.  They come and set the entire thing up for me.  Good thing because there's no way I could do it.  My friend will be here to supervise them.  She has one too.

 

Take care and I hope your mom's sleeping gets better.
