My old internally sprung mattress did me great for years but finally sprang a spring and that was that.
Got a modern foam mattress as they were all the thing, a very well reviewed one, and regretted it ever since. It rapidly developed a sag under my quite moderate weight, and it keeps in heat rather well so in summer you cook. My advice is, don't. My next mattress will be the old fashioned sprung ones again. IME, YMMV.

- dsego 6y agoWas it memory foam or latex?
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoI didn't know you could get latex. Never heard of it. Looking at the mattress it just looks like a normal foamy stuff, yellowish colour, if that tells you anything.
- dsego 6y agoI think memory foam gets warm and deforms. Latex should be firmer and keep cool. I haven't really tried different materials so this is just from researching online.

- bontaq 6y agoI'm waiting for sleeping in hammocks to catch on here. Soon, there'll be an article espousing easy summer sleeping and the more vertical position making for easier breathing. I do sleep in one but it'll be funny to see.

- DoofusOfDeath 6y agoFor many couples, a bed is used not only for sleeping but also for recreation. I could see the novelty of a hammock wearing off quickly.
- war1025 6y ago"recreation" can be had in many places. In case anyone reads this: One of the best things my wife and I have done in the past year was to switch to each of us having our own set of sheets. It's amazing. Highly recommended.
- DoofusOfDeath 6y agoSounds like a very interesting piece of advice, but I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. Do you have two twin mattresses side-by-side, each with its own set of sheets?
- war1025 6y agoWe share a bed, we just each have a set of blankets. This is probably only feasible because we sleep on the floor, which means the blankets don't tend to wander in the night. Lots of covers stealing other blanket shenanigans have been avoided in the past year though from that change.
