You spend about 25% of your life in bed, has to be right and good. 5k also would include a possible adjustable base.

I know all that. But that's way more than necessary. Way more.

I slept on a Goodwill ($5) twin size mattress on the floor in the corner for a summer during college. Worked out alright

I knew a guy in college who needed a mattress and picked one up on the curb...next day he was exterminating bed bugs lol.

Used to be that if you bought a couch or bed the company would haul away your old one. Not any longer because of bed bugs

Some places still do if you tell them they pick it up or the deal is off. They just throw it in the trash.

To the op: Have a Tempur-Pedic and love it. My dad just got a similar bed, probably just as good, for a bit less but I don't know what brand. My wife and I both have back issues and a quality mattress is a must.

Five grand for a fucking mattress?

Are you confined to a bed?

For $5K it would need to give blow jobs and fix breakfast.
You are telling me that it's a good idea to go cheap on the one thing you literally spend the most time on?

20 messages? I'd have probably raised an eyebrow by the 4th or 5th, and certainly by the 10th I would be quite far away from the idea of meeting up. Must have been pretty tumescent for you. I'm sorry it didn't work out as you hoped.
What can he say... The dude looked hot in his pictures....

Lots of bad/non-information given out, which is the norm for CCS. Mattress is definitely worth the investment. I'd recommend a king size Stearns & Foster.

Damn, I would so like to have a debate with Spartan, but unfortunately he cannot defend his position at this time... Anyways, I am not short and fat, been a hard working industrial mechanic for +25yrs. I brush my teeth with 36in pipe wrenches. Most of you pansies probably don't know what a pipe wrench is or could lift one.
The Body Mass Index is what it is. You can look it up yourself. Had the same kinda discussion with Aussie before he went all emo and left the CCS. There is no way you can be over 300 pounds and not be in the obese category and I guarandamntee if you google a BMI calculator and plug in your height and weight, it will not only tell you that you are obese but even 10+ points over what would be considered obese. Even if you were 7 feet tall and 305 pounds, you'd still be considered obese using the BMI standard.

There's really nothing to debate here. Facts are facts. All that excess weight carried is a strain on the organs. It is even considered morbidly obese to have over a 40 BMI which I would guess you are right around with that height and weight. Has nothing at all to do with small weasily guys with female-like hands. Has nothing to do with brushing your teeth with a pipe wrench (10 out of 10 dentists do not recommend) and it has nothing to do with, what Duane Johnson would refer to as, the snowflake generation.

Sterns and Foster for that budget. No hesitation.

The BMI chart?@! LoL

Next you are going to tell us that starving yourself is a good idea too.

BMI is the standard and why Trump lied about his height so he would fall under the obesity level. BMI of over 25 is considered overweight while over 30 is obese and over 40 is morbidly obese. Some rather just use waist size, over 35" for women being a health risk and over 40" for men being a health risk.


Fasting absolutely is a good idea as it allows autoph.agy to kick in and repair the body's damaged/broken cells and what not. Fasting has been used throughout the history of man to heal from various illnesses. Also, studies have shown, leaving more time between your last meal of the day and the first of the next day not only leads to more weight loss but, specifically, more fat loss.

As a couple others said Tempur-Pedic is the way to go. I have had mine for 6 years and love it. Haven't tried one of those Casper or Leesa mattresses so can't give an opinion on them, but don't think I will ever need another mattress and in the unlikely situation when I need to get another it will more than likely be another Tempur-Pedic. As for an adjustable base I have one (not a split mattress base) and I use it on occasion, mainly when I have a cold to sit me up. If I had to do it over, I would either fork out the extra cash for a split base or not get an adjustable base at all.

Yes, thats why we didnt get an adjustable base, but as We get older I think the next mattress will be split with adjustable
