Do you sleep on a mattress made from gold?

Have you tried just the bed without the CPAP?

For me no. My apnea is so severe I need my Cpap. I'm actually considering going to this place and trying their procedures.

My brother did it a few years ago and is doesn't need his cpap anymore. His condition though was not as severe as mine. He said he walked out of the clinic and didn't realize how deprived he had been in his breathing. it was like waking up again all over.

I have a buddy whose main gig is in sales for Ecolab. They sell cleaning/sanitation products.

As a side gig, he gets the mattresses people return on those, 'sleep on it for 30 nights', guarantees.

He throws them in a huge vacuum bag, blasts them with some sanitizer products Ecolab sells, and sucks it all out with an industrial vacuum.

He is selling the returned $3-4K mattresses for $300-700 and getting rich.

We bought some high dollar memory foam one from him, can't remember the brand. Only paid like $200 with the friends and family discount. Wife loves it. I could sleep on a rock and not be bothered, so I'm not one to ask.

We have an Endy, queen size, 3 layers of foam. Bought around 5 years ago, after we boned our Ikea bedframe into submission. I think it was $1500 CAD for the upholstered frame, mattress and waterproofresistant cover.

My back would crack a few times whenever I laid down, very nice in the beginning. Has developed his and hers divots over the years, I'm 6'4" @ 280lbs so that is understandable, but for the lady to have a dent in her side too is underwhelming. You kind of roll and settle, which makes it a little worse over time, concentrating all my man-gravity into one area.

I find it to be nice enough, but I would not buy a cheap mattress again. Maybe not even foam again. We were in our late 20s, so it was the low cost option in a bedless emergency.

We bought a hotel collection made by Aireloom with a knickerbocker embrace frame. It was expensive but comfortable.

When you calculate the cost of a good quality bed system over 5 years (likely should replace them every 5 years due to the amount of sweat and skin that is absorbed), it is really a few dollars per night for quality sleep. Trying out a mattress takes time, laying on it for 1 minute at a store isn't going to help make a decision properly.
