David's right, we are advised to change mattress every 7 or 8 years, and nowhere does it say "unless your mattress cost you a shitload of money in which case you can keep it longer"
We bought a Tempur bed about 6 years ago, which had been reduced from 3 grand to £1800, and assumed as it was comfy at the time, its quality would ensure it would stay that way. Wrong! We quickly learned that memory foam mattresses are not for us. If I'm anywhere the edge of the mattress it sinks, and the effort required not to fall out of bed makes for a restless sleep. Also I tend to overheat, and the problem is even worse in winter - I get too warm, lift off the quilt, and the cold air makes me need to pee. Can't win
So a replacement mattress is at the top of our "needs" list.
"Which" magazine (a UK subscriber-only consumer publication) tested a few mattresses last year and one from Ikea came top for value-for-money. You'll have Ikeas over there, give them a try. We're talking hundreds, not thousands of dollars here.
