The Big Dipper

Paid $1200 on-line for this mattress, box spring set. Thought that was a good deal considering the $3000 price at Macy's. What a waste of money! Both sides of the bed have huge dips where the springs probably collapsed. So, we're getting a new memory foam mattress today because of mine and my wife's intense pain in the hips and lower back. Couldn't take it any more. Are all spring mattresses this bad? We had a water bed for at least 15 years before this with no complaints, until the heaters finally gave out. Decided to ditch the water for a "real" bed, so we bought the top of the line Beauty Rest Exceptionale. It was good at first, but after 3 years it's going to the township dump. We researched reviews of mattresses and got the most good reviews for the memory foam type. Hope we have better luck with this one, because we cannot afford a new mattress every few years!
