It's affordable and several options avail. easy to choose from because each mattress in stores (and online) explain the level of firmness. When trying a bunch of Sealy mattresses in store, I was happy with the DIEGO; It's less than $800 w a boxspring and it'll serve me well for a good while. Remember, mattresses don't last forever, so don't blame the company after 8 years of use... GET A NEW ONE!!!
