Is an expensive mattress worth the money? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Idk why I always wake up with either my sides or neck or smth hurting when I wake up but that didn't happen while I stayed at a hotel. It's not like I'm an old broken man who should be waking up expecting this.

I’d like to mention one thing I haven’t seen yet: Get one you can return. 30 days are good, 100 days are even better. I paid 1k€ for mine (200x180 cm, barrel pocket spring core (not quite sure about the correct translation, that type seems to be less common in the US)), but I had 30 days to return it for a full refund if I wasn’t happy. And properly evaluating a mattress requires actually sleeping on it, imo.

Another thing: A proper pillow, that’s working with the matress you got. I’m a side sleeper, and the new one is softer than the old one, which required my head to be lower than it used to on the older, harder one. You want your spine to be straight, have someone else check.

Finally: A side-sleeper knee pillow. That actually made the biggest difference for me. It’s a small, cheap foam pillow from Amazon, that I attach to my leg, and goes between my knees. It ensures both, that there is no pressure all night on my knees, and that my legs are in a way that my spine is straight.
