And before any of you animals say something like “your moms” I’m being serious. There’s a White man talking here!
Anyway, if money wasn’t an issue, what would be the most comfortable bed for a 6’4 middle aged dude with back issues? My wife recommended a sleep number, but I don’t have any experience with them. I like the Disney Cruise mattresses but I’m not sure if those are great because I’m on vacation and less stress. Also, is there something wider than a King bed? California king is a bit longer but I’m looking for something that was maybe a hair wider. And I’m not trying to turn a California king sideways because it’s too short the other way. Palumboism, you usually are “in the know” about things, any ideas on one of your consumer products list? Any getbiggers have first hand experience? Thanks.

I don't know shit about the subject really but I like hard beds over soft ones :D

Your mom loved my bed......(but I digress)
Fuck sleep number. I have one...regret it. Best ones I have ever slept on was one from a hotel (not with your mom) and it was some $600 one. I have slept on a $9000 mattress and it was the shit. I would never spend that much on something like that though
Wes has slept on grass, stone, iron, and even on wood on the ark....he may have better insight

Fellow White guy checking in with some sage advice.
My lower back is always being a faggot so I treated myself to a super-thick memory foam mattress-topper and pillow. I think it was around £260 total but, holy fuck, it's so good. Combined with my down duvet, I'm in heaven. When I'm home alone, there's no better feeling in the world than blasting myself with a hair dryer under the duvet while trolling the YouTube comments sections all morning.
-
I'm a fan of super firm mattresses. Every once and a while, I'll watch a Japanese home design show where they'll show the hard platform beds and the thin futon mattresses, and I'll think "I can get behind this idea". Sadly, I doubt you could get most women to go for it.
On the cruise ship thing, it might be like good hotels. Decent mattresses that gets tossed way before the lifespan is up. Also, lots of preventive maintenance.
-
A few years ago I went pretty deep down the mattress rabbit hole. The main things I learned were that everyone’s body is different, and you truly can’t tell how a mattress will feel after a full night from just lying on it for 10 minutes in a store. Hotel mattresses can be a decent test bed, but most big brands use completely different model names for the hospitality industry, so you’ll have to do some sleuthing.
In the end, memory foam works great for a lot of people, but I’m still a traditional spring-coil guy. What surprised me most is that I found a local craftsman who builds high quality coil mattresses by hand. (He actually repurposes the coils from old mattresses) His price was only a few hundred bucks more than the luxury name brand stuff you see in the big box stores. If you’re open to it, just Google something like “custom mattress builder” and your city. A lot of these guys already do odd sizes for boats, RVs, antique beds, etc., so making a normal or California king for a bedroom is no problem for them. Highly recommend going that route if you want something that’s built well and will last 15 years.

A mildly stiff matress is better to my lower back, but ruins my shoulders. I prefer a soft one. It's one of those things you will have to try. Expensive matresses are not necessarily better for your issues. Average priced ones have very good quality.

I thought I would, but really like the mattress. Fairly cheap also, $700 for queen size and pillows.

Serta iComfort cool gel for me. Regular foam mattresses and mattress toppers just retain body heat which I hate.
Stearns and Fosters (sp) has some good ones. But I like Serta. The Purple mattresses have mixed reviews. It would be great if they made a topper to try it out first so to speak, but I don't think they do.
Whatever you pick, if it is a foam one make sure you get the extended warranty. Because no matter what you think or are told, foam breaks down over time. I paid $90 for a ten year warranty. At 7 years, I was noticing an indention on my side of the bed and when I went out and mentioned it to the store I bought it from they sent an associated out with a level and ruler who measured it and before the week was out I had a brand new mattress. And I paid the $90 for the extended warranty on this one as well.
-
I felt like I got too fussy with mattresses and mattress toppers and even an adjustable bed. I was trying something different every few months. In the end I took my really old (but sparsely used) mattress that was now in my mums spare room as I never had any issues with it back in day.
Just a plain old firm mattress, no thrills. Took a while to adjust the firmness, but it's been great.

You may want to pay attention to my conclusions on the matter, although in all likelihood you won't
Anyway here goes
Beds and mattress industry are scams, a completely horizontal and flat surface is very far from ergonomically optimized for the human body mechanics, nor for comfort. It's just capitalism, cheap to manufacture.
Sleeping on your back is obviously best for spinal alignment and avoiding unnecessary face fold deepening. Big flat horizontal surfaces are very awkward for that, that's why people end up assuming side sleep positions in Beds which crease their faces and torque their spines. Ever notice that it's much more comfortable falling asleep on your back while in a sofa rather than a bed? Because almost everything is better designed than a fucking bed for sleeping ergonomically sound. At least in a sofa you generally have your hips slightly flexed while on your back because of the feet being on arm rests or shit like that. It also locks you into a more secured position rather than being a worm on a big flat horizontal surface. Now surely sofas aren't the best solution, but definitely they are better than fucking Beds
In conclusion, Beds are fucking shit, huge waste of space and money, they aren't even good for fucking, for that they are not stable enough and too prone to creaking or shifting. For fucking you should put a mattress directly on the floor for max stability and no creaking or shifting noises
A dentists chair is probably a lot better than a bed for the optimal ergonomic sleep

Ok I get your opinion but you offered no solution or suggestions, unless you’re being serious about the dentist chair.

I would and I’m totally with you on that, but do they use a black light and check for Cum stains? If so, they will find enough babies to fill up an orphanage

I suggest trying out a number of sofas before committing to a bed

Just as important as the mattress is the stand/box spring. Those old metal coil frames are cheap and outdated and now top bed Combos have a low frame and sturdy center of gravity as the mattress will start to sag in places, even causing some back issues if it's not supported so you want a very sturdy base and/or boxspring.
Here's a pic of the beds in the suites at Mandalay Bay, solid and comfortable. They are selling their exact bed combo they have in their suites so I'm assuming it's pretty good. Gel infused foam. But they are asking $1500-$2500
Good luck

Box spring is trash. Not supportive enough

Our bed has the same setup — plus more than 20 leg supports — so it’s extremely sturdy. The only downside is that it’s a pain to clean underneath.
We use a medium-firm memory foam mattress, and it’s been great. My wife likes her mattresses soft, while I prefer mine firm, so we had to meet in the middle. Our previous mattress was way too soft and eventually started sagging where I slept. I called the store, told them it had sagged beyond their warranty limit, and they sent someone out to measure it. I put a few weights on it to make the sag more obvious, and sure enough, it measured past the threshold. We ended up getting our current mattress for free.
I told my wife there was no way I was going back to a soft mattress — it fucks up my lower back. I originally wanted something very firm, but the one we have now is a good compromise.

Looks like a bed you would sleep on at a $19/night motel with the heart shaped hot tub.

Yes I got an extra firm mattress because sleep on my back (better for your spine and face logically). My wife sleeps on the sofa so maybe she also prefers a soft mattress. I think the choice of what supports the mattress is even more important though. Box spring is fucked

Our old king size mattress that sagged was on a box spring and it sucked. Edit: It had two additional sub mattress wood frames on the box springs. That was fine, the problem was the soft main mattress.
The newer and firmer king size foam mattress with wooden slats and base boards is so much better. My wife and her family went through the water mattress craze. They all had it in their rooms. We never did. Those things suck. I would never get sleep hearing that water every time you moved around. And they also developed leaks.

My wife woke me up again this morning slamming the doors. Stupid fucking animal, I have told her time and again to be fucking quiet in the mornings. I will never know peace until I throw her out on the street
-
Women are generally just inconsiderate like that. For example if I see my wife dozing off in the sofa, I assume she needs the rest and try to be quiet and let her sleep. It never works like that the other way. If I doze off in the sofa on the weekend, she will wake me up every 20 seconds by being loud.
Fucking bitch I hate her so much

Anger and compromise are powerful forces. One hour later I am already questioning if my earlier take was not blown out of proportion. The truth is fragile and fleeting, while compromise is elusory and robust.

That's a bit extreme - lol!
My wife woke me up three days ago and I was annoyed, but I’ve woken her up too. It goes both ways.

The dude that ripped Netflix off for $11M bought his mattresses from here.

In September of that year, he bought a black Hästens Grand Vividus mattress — hand-made in Sweden, and reputedly the world’s most expensive mattress — for $439,900. He also bought a white Hästens Vividus King for $210,400.

This thread jogged some funny memories for me. The first one was from when I was a young guy doing these crappy 6-week operational cycles in this godforsaken place where we only had camp-style spring bunks to sleep on. People were always setting booby traps at night by removing almost all of the springs, leaving only the bare minimum needed to keep the shape and hold the bedding. Men would jump up to go to bed and plummet straight through onto the bunk below, haha.
The second one was from when I was a young teenager, around 13. I played in a band with my best friends, and on weekends the 3 of us would stay at our drummer's house and jam all weekend. His mother had died and his father was some CEO, so in working-class terms he was loaded, with a big detached house, massive TV, and so on. His dad would fuck off on the weekends, and we'd have the place to ourselves along with his seven-year-old sister.
At night, we all slept on his massive water bed (NH). His sister would also have these night terrors where she'd be screaming the house down, pissing the bed, and throwing these raving meltdowns while semi-conscious. Everyone else would sleep through it, and I'd have to creep up 2 floors to her room and grab her to bring her down to stay with us. It used to scare the fuck out of me, because she was acting like that freak from The Exorcist.
With her on the bed, along with the drummer's fat ass rolling around, it was like being adrift at sea in a bloody life raft. Absolutely the worst thing I've ever slept on. You'd end up seasick by the end of the night. I always imagined it would be amazing.

You should have freaked them all out. Smeared red food dye on her hands and floor and walls and left bits of your clothes behind and just fucked off for a solid week. No phone calls, no sightings, etc... just disappeared.

Haha, honestly, I'd have been too scared for anything other than just grabbing her and getting the fuck out of there. I'd have still been vaguely superstitious as a young kid, and it felt like marching upstairs into hell. In retrospect, she really was neglected. I heard recently that the guy actually ended up gay and married to a man, which is a huge surprise. There was no indication of that at all. He was into girls and used to blast lesbo-porn on his dad's giant TV.

Maybe lesbian porn should have been a red flag if you really think about it.

Buy a high quality bed. You won't regret it.
We have a cheap guest bed (foldable) that I put a memory foam top mattress on. Improved comfort a lot.
