Latex mattresses rule!  I think second is the Simmons individually-pocketed coils, and then the worst are the wire-frame-over spring mattresses.

I don't even remember how many I've had, but since we got married almost 29 years ago, we've had 3, I think. That's not counting guest rooms, which we switched between a couple of times. All but the current one were queen sized. Now we have a king. The current one is a Temperpedic that's about 5 years old. I love that mattress. Worth every dime, and it is still just like brand new.

No... It is the same mattress... just distributes the wear patterns. That is 'Mattress 101'.

Not able to flip my mattress.... I can only rotate it. Many mattresses made now-a-days are not designed to be flipped.

This non-flippable mattress fad is a scam to make people need mattresses more often. Flippables are out there. You just have to look for them.

Thank you, I was almost afraid to say how old mine was. 22yrs and counting. Yes, quality pays off.
