Not sure if this is the right area to post, maybe the health and fitness, but its not quite health or fitness related.
So I need to buy a new mattress and am looking for suggestions. I am looking for a Queen sized since that is what all my newish bedroom furniture (<1 yr) is made for, and I spent a pretty penny on it. Before I had an el cheapo mattress then put one of those pillow top things on it. It was garbage. I then recently purchased a Tempurpedic Mattress when I bought the new furniture and have hated It. My first problem with it is that I sweat terribly with it. My place has A/C set at 20 deg, I also have a very light blanket and sheets. I never had a problem sweating before with heavy blankets on a normal coil mattress and figure its due to breathability of the material. Even now with blankets off and chilled I still sweat which really bugs me, a couple girls that i have had over have also complained about it. My second problem with the mattress, is when doing the dirty. I find it is very counterproductive to the rocking motion I create, I get going, and it just seems to absorb the motion. Not that I am lazy, but it gets kind of annoying after a while (though not bringing women back to my place isn't a terrible idea)
What I am looking for is something that is soft like the tempurpedic mattress and supportive, but that is going to be breathable like a traditional mattress and not totally absorb my 'rockin'. I am looking for the opinions of people who have slept on a mattress for more than a year. Anyone can go sit on a mattress at a store, but it might not be the same after sleeping on it for a year. I am looking at different pillow tops and pocket coils but don't know what to believe when it comes to sales people talking to me. I am also looking for durability. I have a neighbor that has a supposedly good pillow top but have had their mattress replaced twice in two years because the pillow top keeps breaking down and they roll out of bed. I am also trying to keep it under $3000 since I am a broke as a joke student.
I want to create a narrowed down list of specific mattresses to go and look at, maybe 10 or so.
Thanks
