I really hope it stays as good as it felt in the store. I dropped a lot of money on a White Dove hybrid that should support my fat ass much better than this Casper POS has been able to do. I've been dragging ass almost every day because I can't sleep well and I hope this help. Also went from Queen to King, so that should be nice as well.

That's one fine-looking mattress. Make sure you don't drink water before going to bed so you don't accidentally pee on it during the night.

whats your issue with the Casper? I bought a Bed-in-a-box a few years ago and for me it is hands down the best mattress ive ever slept on. I made a thread about my purchase and got flamed for not buying a Casper.

It just didn't hold up, and the more I research about the foam mattresses the more I find that it's a common problem. It was fine the first year or two, then it started to wear out enough to not really give me support as a side sleeper. It doesn't help that I'm heavier, but still... I'll never buy all foam again (unless it's latex foam, that doesn't break down the same way as the memory and other foams). The only way I would go down that road is if they were a 1/4 of the price of the other mattress I'm considering, but they seem to be getting more and more expensive as time goes on.

First night didn't go so well. It's firmer than it was in the store, which is a bit of a problem. I know they supposedly have a break-in period so we'll see, but the wife doesn't seem terribly pleased.

I don't know man...sounds to me like you've been dragging ass because your ass is fat!

The ones with the button flap over the butt right? Might be important

I actually have a proper union suit: the one with the trap door.

I have another with a slit instead of the trap door.

I bought them years ago, just to be ready for my future career as the neighborhood grizzled prospector.
