Something must be done. I’ve put it off as long as long as I can. I’d rather get a root canal but that’s not really an option. The time has come. I mst buy a new mattress.

The choices can be bewildering. Maybe don't overanalyze. We bought one a couple of years ago, went into a store, lied down on the display models and picked the firmest one.

 Ours is around 20 years old and I was researching a replacement recently.  Don't like these more modern foam or foam toppers or soft. Ours is around 20 years old and I was researching a replacement recently.  Don't like these more modern foam or foam toppers or soft.
 I actually found our current 3000 pocket sprung firm matress still for sale in one shop, now costing £800 for a double.
 Good luck

Oh boy, do I feel your pain. We keep limping along with what we have. I bought one of those expandable foam mattresses from Costco a few years ago. It was for a guest room and I as much as I love my friend Pat (who is the only house guest we ever have), I figured that even if it wasn't fabulous, anyone can put up with something less than ideal for a few days. Turns out she thinks it's fabulous.
