I'm shopping for a new mattress and came across this from the Simmons site:

"Think about how much you want to spend. Buying a decent mattress is like buying a decent sound system. A higher quality mattress is usually bought at a higher price. However, price isn’t everything. Focus on the models that suit your needs best."

I was initally surprised by any comparison to audio since so many folks think spending a couple of hundred bucks is a bit outrageous. But then I was struck with the succinct advice given. Those last three sentences are great -- just substitute "audio system" for mattress. The only thing missing is a sentence on synergy and environment.

By the way, I'm still surprised by the comparison ;-)

Well, it's been a year. I haven't tried any mods yet like NOS springs though. Another thought is to put the whole rig on Aurios Media Bearings. Of course, just the sound of "Ginko Cloud" sounds restul as well...:)
Thanks Sean! Tomorrow I'm stuffin' the middle,,and not the way I usually do :))

Ozfly- My Select Discomfort came with the pillowtop, but in my efforts for peace I tried the memoryfoam on top. My mistake was I bought a 3 inch memory foam slab, and it was like sinking into your casket- not much fun (Damn expensive too!). It also made Gettin' Busy far more difficult. If you try a topper, don't go too thick.

Man this thread has really meandered around. DK anyone?
DK and Cyberlight- It's like Charles and Camilla!

Made for one another :) Thanks Howard- I'll redouble my efforts to adjust to my crappy bed.
I'm now taking this thread off course, but I must share this:

Speaking of sleeping systems....don't buy the Select Comfort rig. I did, my wife loved it and I figured I'd eventually adjust so we kept it.

What a shit bucket. Too bad there's no "Mattressgon" on the web, I'd ditch that rig.
