Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My wife was complaining that our previous mattress was causing back pain and I guess at some point we went through flipping the mattress and her back pain stopped and mine eventually started in a big way. Our previous mattress was the very top of the line from the manufacturer (The Camelot) but was 11 years old. I'm not one to jump at advice if it involves shoveling out money and thought my back pain was being caused by degenerative disc disease for which I had surgery for 12 years ago. Anyway, with the new top of the line mattress from the other manufacturer now costing around $2,500 I felt a little sick at the thought of buying a replacement because if I followed the advice of mattress manufacturer I "should" be replacing the mattress in around 5 years. I bought this mattress after spending a few days looking around Amazon and elsewhere. I thought to myself, even if this thing is not durable or is a total mistake, I'm out less than $300 and the reviews I'm looking at APPEAR to be legitimate and if they are, this seemed like it was a good buy. Now the only question was would it be a good buy for someone now on their 4th mattress 30 years into adulthood,....that was to be seen. My wife and I have slept on this mattress 11 nights now with one night in between at a hotel while visiting our daughter at college. I can tell you that within 1-2 nights the back pain had improved tremendously and both my wife and I have been getting great nights sleep. And while the hotel we stayed at visiting my daughter was a Homewood Suites and overall the hotel was great, both my wife and had a lousy night sleep and both woke up with somewhat sore backs which is unusual for my experience with the Hilton line. We returned home and within a night my back pain was gone again. I'm very pleased with this purchase so far but it's early on. It feels well made, it isn't noisy and it doesn't give in greatly as I sit on the edge (I'm over 6' tall and over 250lbs.) I hope to come back and update my review after a year or so but early on I was so eager with how much better my back feels I just wanted to share my experience.
