Well, after about 9 months of use, my memory foam bed is causing crippling back pain. I bought it from a respected vendor that i got on here. I beilive the name is 'Marks half price bedding'. I can not find the vendor on the internet though. Can anyone help me with that?

Anyone wana recommend a good matress/place to buy online?

heh, has anyone here had a memory foam bed for more than a year and been happy with it? Maybe my generic memory foam just isn't up to snuff.

I have a memory foam topper (3") and its awesome. Maybe I wouldn't buy from a place called "Mark's Half Price Bedding", though, either. Even if it was an official ATOT Well Respected Vendor.

Search for mattresses.net here on AT for a few posts by PlatinumGold

Personally I think it's a better deal to wait until January 2006 when CostCo will have their next annual mattress sale. We bought a premium Sealy Posturpedic Mira Loma Queen for $339 out the door.

Almost 3 years later the mattress is still in great shape and very comfortable.

What's up with the memory foam that you say is giving you back pain, has it broken down signficantly? Was it ever good for you? Often the warranties are 5 years as well, maybe it can be returned if its broken down already.

well yea, it worked for a bit, then it just 'depresses' too easy. Imagine sleeping on an air matress that is half full. I suppose, its kinda hard to explain. Regardless, bad pain.


I am trying to get the manufactor website if anyone knows it.

What kind of mattress do you have underneath it?

I have generic memory foam topper, but it's on a good mattress, and the europens did a huge study of mattresses that suggested people with back problems did much better on a soft mattress than a hard one...

Doesn't the place that you got it from have a phone number?
