When I get into bed, I cannot move myself sideways because I sink into my pillowtop mattress. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Well, both my adult children have had a Temerpedic for years, and love theirs. I have always said if I could afford one, I would get it. If you could go test some, that probably would be the best.

I think firm is better because I can push against it with my elbows. I find moving in bed very difficult!

Thanks for your reply! 🙂 Would you have a favorite brand?

Probably need a firmer mattress so you do not “sink”.
