If you have a platform bed do you use a regular mattress without the box springs? Or do you have a special mattress made for platform beds?
For five years we have used our regular, pillow-top, mattress on the platform without box springs. It's been fine, until lately. My shoulders ache in the morning. The mattress is about 12 years old and now we need a new one.
We can go to a mattress liquidator and get something for $300-500. Or there is a specialty mattress store in town that specializes in platform bed mattresses. Those start at $1,000.
