How long have you been sleeping on your mattress?

Do you replace your mattress regularly? Every 10 -15 years or so?

I've had my mattress for 15 years and I'm in the market for a new one.

If you decide to buy one, don't go for one with memory foam. They are darn comfortable but...

If you are a quiet sleeper and when you want to turn around, it takes too much force to get out of that memory foam and you wake up because you need to exert too much force to change position...

@Stephie In your opinion, not in fact.

@RedBaron Fact it is. I have been having that issue for a few years now and I would never again buy a memory foam mattress.

@Stephie hmm I never had that problem. I like memory foam, it's comfortable, and it's good for my shoulders. it is difficult to change position, like if I roll over to my other side I think I end up on my back, but then I'll just sleep on my back all night and it won't even wake me up haha. The only gripe I have with it, is that my memory foam mattresses seems to shrink! It no longer fits my bed lol, it's like nearly half a meter shorter than when I bought it

@Stephie So it’s your opinion, as I said.

@MartinTheFirst Could it be that you placed it over a water bed? Hot water does that kind of shrinking 🤨

I did experience the phenomenon when I washed some of my clothing at 90 degrees (Celsius) and that top would then fit my Barbie doll 🤣

The top was not lost for everybody...

@Stephie no I don't have anything as sexy as a waterbed... lmao. I am pretty hot though.

@MartinTheFirst I can see that. Your eyes on your profile picture are pretty expressive

@Stephie I don’t own a water bed. My wife and I have ours on a wood platform.
