Nectar luxe hybrid with an adjustable base that has the anti snore setting. I got mine from Mattress Firm. That setting is saving my marriage. 😆

The adjustable base and an elevated sleep position should definitely help with snoring. Have you ever been able to try sleeping in an elevated position to see if it improves your snoring (airplane, car, reclining chair, or propped up on pillows)? Might be worth trying out first to see if it helps your situation. Sleeping elevated does improve breathing posture so I would be surprised if it didn’t help.

As for a mattress, we really like the Nolah Evolution mattress for primary side sleeping. We have the plush version and it feels amazing. It is soft and provides a nice sleep in the mattress feel, remains cool throughout the night, and still provides great support.

As far as the adjustable goes, what features do you value? I would assume elevating the head and feet. Anything else? Such as auto snore elevation, massage, lumbar support.

Yes to adj bed, even if you dont end up using all of its features its still worth it. Make sure to dont get a garbage memory foam mattress with it as a package. Look for coils+ latex or full latex.

I swear by the tempur-pedic adapt firm. I had tired four other mattresses in the span of 10 year by the time I finally ponied up and bought it. I still have painsomnia but no where as horrible as it was with the other mattresses! I bought mine from Costco so it was as cheap as it was gonna be, and if you hate it, returns are way easier.

We have a Purple mattress. I have fibro and my husband has scoliosis we cannot do mattresses with springs. Somebody recommended this bed to us and we bought it about 5 years ago. It's so comfy, and doesn't cause any pressure points or soreness. Highly recommended.

I have a nectar mattress with adjustable base and casper pillows, and I’ve gotten compliments from everyone all the way down to my cleaning lady.

I'm in Canada I have an Endy mattress money is firm which I need for my back..I've tried so many pillows I currently have a hush pillow but not sure if I l8ke it

I love my Sleep Number. It's expensive even with just the lower-end model because the other models were too soft. I have fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis. The thing with me is when I have more joint pain, I want firm because it's my spine and hips, and neck. When it's muscle-like pain, I like a softer mattress. We didn't go with the adjustable base because they didn't have a full king option (if that's possible). They only had a split king. Im eventually going to want an adjustable base cause that "zero gravity" setup on the bed was so comfortable. Didn't have a spare $5k total for a bed so skipped those options, lol.

My big takeaway when I was looking was that I had to try every one to see if I'd be comfortable. I forced myself to try it for 5 minutes or so.

I've been sleeping on the Costco Casper cooling 12" foam mattress for a week now and am pleasantly surprised.

Back and side sleepers need different firmness. I’d go with a mattress where you can have one side be soft to medium for side sleeping and med to firm for back sleeping. There are companies that have a zipper on the pillow top so the cushioning can be adjusted. Depending on you and your wife’s weight that will also dictate how a mattress feels to you. Ie plus size people feel mattresses are softer because of the weight versus a very light person will feel a lot of mattresses are hard. I also think the super expensive mattresses are over rated. It’s a business and they try to upsell with a lot of extra “features.” There is such a thing as good quality springs and foam but I think the super high end are over rated. I’ve had so many types over the years. I’d also go with a hybrid or innerspring versus all foam (they sleep hot) if I were you. Also an adjustable base is amazing as well. Just my two cents :) Would love to know what you end up with when you get it.

First and foremost, I’m sorry you’re going through these sleep challenges. We have some crazy sales for Memorial Day including free head up adjustable bases and great discounts off all types of mattresses. You can absolutely get a whole set up for less than 3k. I manage 2 Mattress Firms in Florida and I would love to help you. Let me know if you’d like my contact info.

Sleep on Latex changed my life! https://sleeponlatex.com/

My wife and I almost bought a $4000 TempurPedic but we realized some Nectar offerings feel just as good for way way way less. We got the "Luxe" for around $1500 and we still love it over a year later.

Look into an adjustable frame. There are a lot...I went with a SmartFlex SF50 after a bunch of research. Then pick whatever mattress that will work with it.

An adjustable base would help with your snoring!

If you are using CPAP treatment, get whatever mattress you are happy with. I'm serious, just make yourself comfortable and don't worry about it.

I would think an adjustable bed frame that lets you tilt the head up (like a hospital bed) would help more with apnea.

If your apnea is adequately treated, any mattress (or even the floor) will do.

I like the low-cost memory foam mattress I bought on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XC3RC3F/

It's definitely done a lot for my back problems, but a good quality pillow (and CPAP of course) did more for my apnea than the mattress really did.

oh my peeps. I tried wakefit, it is not that good. Tried Sleepwell ortho after that, amazing! Heard sleepy cat is also good but havent tried.

Wakefit

Duroflex is good, it has memory foam.

Go for Duroflex. Bonded foam in between. Soft foam on the outer side.

Sleepwell ortho pro profiled since aug, 7.5 out of 10.

This post links to an overview of Sleep Number and airbed brands (basically, Sleep Number is questionable because of reliability of parts and expense for repair), as well as a "brands to avoid" post.

If you spend a lot of time in bed, you could look at mattresses with an interchangeable comfort layer. That's the layer that will wear out first and it may be cheaper in the long run to replace the comfort layer as needed instead of the whole mattress. It also allows some flexibility in case your needs change. (I have an autoimmune disease and my weight has fluctuated quite a bit these past few years.) Engineered Sleep and DLX are two well-liked brands that offer this kind of model. I have an Engineered Sleep but not the interchangeable comfort layer model.

If you have the budget, an adjustable base might also be nice. They let you have a sitting up position, and more variety in how your body gets held when you sleep.

Personally, I wasn’t a fan of Sleep Number. It felt like I was laying on an air mattress, and I had the i8 which at the time was their second to top of the line.

The other thing I want to mention was that I worked for them, and their mattress warranty isn’t like a typical warranty. You can replace pieces of the bed, like foam inserts, covers, hoses and air pumps. Let’s say the foam insert is bad, it’s lumpy, caved in and isn’t supportive anymore. You would need to order a replacement, and if that replacement is on back order or out of stock, you’re SOL until it comes back in stock. I had a customer of mine who almost every three weeks would come back into the store to cuss us out for updates when we had nothing to do with it. I think it took like two or three months for him to get a replacement foam piece.

The brand doesn't necessarily matter, but I always recommend all latex mattresses over any other component, not a hybrid, so no coils, no gel or foam or memory foam of any kind. Latex mattresses last for decades, and you can use them with adjustable beds. Problematically, very few stores carry latex beds to try out, so it's kind of a leap of faith to buy one. They're very easy to research online though.

Sleep EZ latex mattress it allows you to stack layers to create the perfect firmness. And in a king you can split layers for each Individual side like a sleep number bed.

61F, overweight, solo sleeper and I’ve always loved my King Tempur Pedic bed.

Ugh mattress shopping is SO difficult and confusing. I am in the market for a new one as well. I currently have a Ghost that I really like, but it is due to be replaced. When I bought the mattress I also bought an adjustable frame from Amazon which is a game changer. I do believe that they make split frames for king beds so people can adjust their side.

My time to shine! PURPLE MATTRESS x10. I don’t remember which one I bought but it wasn’t the standard. It was one of the hybrid versions. The beds are extremely more expensive than a general mattress but I say well worth it. It used to take me like an hour when I woke up to get out of bed, I wouldn’t physically be able to move because of my pains, and how bad my back was. The purple mattress helped tremendously and it didn’t like fix everything or cure me, or relieve the pain per se, but my back generally felt better after waking up. I still had all the pains and aches but it was like between being crushed by a boulder and being crushed by something less than a boulder lmao. (Idk how to explain it, but there was a difference)

We had to get 2 twins, because this shitty disease. Splurged on adjustable frames.

I bought a tempr mattress and it was worth every single dollar

Following, since my CRPS spread from my right arm to left glute & leg this past fiscal year…

I always make sure to buy a bed from Cervello and pillows from Saucony and bedding from Maurten. They know how to get top performance from an athlete.

Seriously though get a mattress that is comfortable for you. I don't think there is one best answer. IMHO you are overthinking it a bit.

Stay away from any mattress advertised by influencers on social media. Buy from a reputable brand that's been around and don't be afraid to spend some money. You spend 1/3 of your life asleep and it dictates how you feel the rest of the 2/3.

Just spent a few days sleeping on an 18 year old mattress at my parents house and could barely move my back and neck for a week. I'm also 200-220 lbs and destroy shitty mattresses pretty quick even with frequent rotating and flipping.

Macy's did, and maybe still have some for 70% off and if you're a member/ have cc there's always tons of rewards and coupons on coupons. A lot of mattress companies are also regional so depending on where you are, there's possibly a local company you can support.

Just get a good bed and don’t pay extra for marketing bullshit.

Edit : that Spartan bed with waves made for better blood flow is fucking insane. Do you actually consider buying that?

Haha I was expecting something along the lines of a water bed, to get used to being on the water or something like that.

LOL - do Ironman not do a mattress ? I know they did a branded shower head. Works well with my IM Tie and pen set. And my IM car mats.

Are you planning on taking your mattress with you to races so you can sleep as normal ?

​

Just get a normal mattress. Otherwise non athletes won't be allowed into your bed.
