I need one because my body aches in the morning. The mattress has become too soft. The pandemic stopped me from buying a new one because I need to try it out in the store, and as I don’t go into stores, and I’d have to drive to another city to find a mattress store, I’ve put up with it, but my back and hips are suffering because of it.

@Carissimi The new latex foam mattresses are amazing, well worth the time to find the one right for you.
This may sound stupid - but I know it works: put an old chipwood door underneath the mattress in the meantime.
