Buying a Mattress

We need to purchase a new box spring and mattress set. I always hate the process because I feel like you can't tell what will be a good fit if you don't live with it for a while. What tricks do you have and/or what do you look for when you're buying a bed? What did you think you think you'd like in the store and discovered you hated once you got it home? And if you own one of those fancy as seen on tv ones (like a sleep number or temperpedic), do you love it? Hate it? Practical advice please! We'll be shopping in January. I've read...

Little Things to Get Back in Shape / Encouragement Appreciated Also

Hi Moms, I need your support, and ideas/helpful hints/tidbits to get healthier, shed some inches, get back in shape. OH - just started walking at lunch at work (15 minutes).

Buying a Mattress

We are looking to buy a new mattress which I'm finding out is comparable to buying a new car. There are so many to choose from and each brand gives the mattress a different name depnding on the store they're selling it to.

It was comfortable in the store but I'd hate for it to lose it's shape after a year. The comments I've read online go both ways. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Need Suggestions on Buying a New Bed

I am looking for suggestions on a new bed to buy. We would like a king size bed and I have no idea what to get. Is there one that you love and recommend or one that you would never buy again and I should stay away from? We both prefer fairly soft/pillow top type and I'm willing to pay more if it's something we love. Thanks!
