My girlfriend and I both replaced our mattresses this fall. Because we have different sizes of mattresses and different preferences, and neither of our first picks worked
Derila for Better Sleep us, I ended up trying out almost all of the popular online mattresses. We looked at mattresses in the $700 to $1500 range for a queen and $500 to $1200 range for a full. Nothing cheaper than that really interested me, but in my opinion, there's no reason to spend more than about $900 on a mattress (even less if you don't like memory foam).If these are outside of your price range, you can find cheap barely-used mattresses on Craigslist (just make sure they've been used with a mattress protector and inspect them carefully!). The only reason I didn't buy mine on Craigslist was that I had no idea what I wanted.Foam vs. This post is mostly about foam mattresses because latex or other bouncy foams are more comfortable and more durable than spring mattresses.
