Lucky and thankful purchase

I bought this mattress years ago as my first mattress purchase as an adult. I didn't know how to do research and pick a mattress. I simply went to Ikea because I love that store and Iĥ needed something in my budget. I laid on a few mattresses and picked the one that seemed most comfortable. But how one decides a purchase from a few quick lays is beyond me. But that's what I did because I knew nothing then. And thankfully it was literally the most comfortable bed to me, right from the first sleep. I never noticed that I was uncomfortable going to sleep. Or achy upon waking up. It wasn't until the mattress started to give out (after about 8 years!) and I went on the search for a new one that I realized how lucky I was to have made this purchase. I'm a side sleeper and didn't know a thing about firmness then. Luckily I picked the perfect firmness for my needs when I bought this mattress. I never had tingly issues and when I bought a mattress pad recently, and tried a friend's bed and immediately felt pain and discomfort, I was thankful again for having had such an amazing mattress. Unfortunately its support has diminished now after all these years. But for the price and the longevity and the years of blissful sleep, I couldn't have been more pleased with this product. I'm nervous other mattresses won't live up to its greatness.
