Memory Foam Vs. Hybrid Mattresses

[days_unfolding]

I didn't get up early enough to go to the grocery store, but I got some soda and gas at a convenience store and took pictures of my storage space.

I'm trying to decide between a totally memory foam mattress and a hybrid memory foam-coil mattress. I like a softer bed. I have a lot of neck pain due to working a lot of the time on the computer. What do you have? Comments welcome.

I lay down for a while because I had a headache, sore throat, and chills. It helped. However, I overslept, and went directly into class without eating lunch. Afterward, I tried a new type of Ramen which is just making the noodles and putting sauce on them from Public Goods. It was good.

Feeling lousy again, so I took a COVID rapid at-home test (negative). I was going to ask questions about a test in our T.A.'s office hours, only to find that the professor had the exams hidden, probably because people were still taking it. I just emailed my prof. She replied that she is having Office Hours on Monday as usual, so I can ask her then. She also panned a suggestion that I had for my final project because I need to tie it into what we did in class, but I just figured out how to do that. I just need to write the presentation :)

Ran to the library and checked out what will probably be the last book that I'll check out from that library. The library is next to a pizza place, so I got a craving for pizza, so I came home and ordered Domino's. They were having a 50% off all pizzas sale, so yay. It was good that I came home because I forgot to feed the girls. Bad cat mom!

Someone had their Christmas lights up already :(

Decided not to go to the store because 1) I have pizza, 2) I have Ramen, 3) I have soda, 4) I want to tidy up, and 5) I'm not feeling great. I'm actually thinking of going to bed really early and getting up early, although there's a danger of my not getting up. Oh crud, I need to do laundry.

We've had a Tempur pedic for years, and love it. We're going to be looking into replacing it soon...with another Tempur pedic!

Is it hot to sleep in though? I'm wondering how a memory foam bed would be in the summer.

We never had that problem, even in Phoenix. But we tend to keep our house pretty cool, winter and summer.

We just had to make this call and went with the hybrid. Go lay on some mattresses, even if they're not the ones that you're looking at first -- we had no idea how smushy the memory-foam only ones actually were; it was like sleeping IN the mattress rather than on it. The Hybrid was the right amount of swish for us. (And if that changes, we can add squish with mattress toppers, but you can't really remove squish, so err on the side of less.)

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the hybrid. Good point about being able to make it squishier.

I have a tempurpedic mattress and have mixed feelings about it. The biggest issue is that it's very very heavy. You don't have to flip it, but I still have to lift it to clean dust on the platform of my bed. Also, when I first bought it, there was a lot of outgassing (with bad smells) for a few weeks. Some people complain it sleeps hot, but that's actually a plus for me.
