135 pounds and you sleep near the wall and the center is sinking? The problem is your frame not the mattress. EDIT: Well, the mattress probably sucks too. Oh and tempurpedics are a waste of money for 99% of the population. Just get a new mattress and make sure the frame has support in the middle. ---

^that and/or you need to turn the matress around, either rotate or rotate and flip it over, depending on the style. that said, I have two different tempurpedic pillows and they are great. The only reason the tempurpedic material may be uncomfortable for you is if you move around a lot, as it takes time to re-form to how you are laying. ---

really? how long should a mattress last? i have a double box spring ( 2 side by side inside the frame ) but maybe the frame is tweaked wrong somehow o have flipped/ rotated the mattress every 6 months or so also ---

take your matress off and make sure the boxsprings are level all the way across. A cheap matress could be shot after 5 years. If you havent turned/flipped it, the other end could be a lot better. ---

> [@KuntryQuestTSi](#): > > really? how long should a mattress last? I’ve had a bed set last for ~10 years… though our current one is starting to show some wear after only 4. :gotme: My godmother has had her matress / spring set for ~20 years… but shes older, and probably doesn’t abuse it as much. You should def rotate / flip it… I’d say every 3 months couldn’t hurt a bit. Thats what I’ve always done. ---

I just bought a new mattress last month. The cheaper $2k+ tempurpedic was too firm for me. The pillow top one for $3600 was nicer. I ended up getting a natural response, which is a latex and memory foam mattress. I liked it more than the two tempurpedics. It was $4k but I got it for $2k with 2 memory foam pillows from metro mattress. Does your frame have a center support that goes from side to side like this? ![http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11500517/Bed_Frame.jpg](http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11500517/Bed_Frame.jpg) ---

Sounds like your box spring is shot. Mine have been doing the same thing, I laid it on the floor and mattress is fine just needs a new boxspring. ---

sleep numbers are the worst POS ever invented. why not just buy an inflatable mattress at walmart for $30. I have a tempurpedic style mattress that I got about 4 years ago for like $1800 shipped I want to say. I did a ton of research and made sure to get one with a pillowtop so I wouldn’t “sink” too much. best money I ever spent. ---
