best mattress ever had

After 12 years of daily use, I decided it was time to replace my Sultan Flokenes mattress. Even though I had always been very satisfied with it, I felt it had lost some of its support over time. It was my first foam mattress, and I had no complaints all those years. So, I thought it was time to upgrade — and I invested in an expensive new mattress with pocket springs, costing €2,300. From the very first nights, though, I started experiencing back pain. I assumed my body just needed time to adjust, so I added a €400 mattress topper, hoping it would make things more comfortable. Unfortunately, even with the topper, the mattress still felt uncomfortable and awkward. Thankfully, I hadn’t thrown away the Sultan Flokenes — I had given it to a family in need. After struggling to find anything on the market that felt similar — aside from maybe a Tempur — I finally asked the couple if they would be willing to return the Sultan, and I offered them the brand-new, expensive mattress instead. Luckily, they were happy to accept the trade! In the end, I returned to my old Sultan Flokenes, and my body immediately felt relief. I’ve come to the conclusion that unless I can find something that truly matches its comfort and support, I’m not changing mattresses again anytime soon.
