Our mattress is awful. Actually we have two, so we're using the best one and the other is in the spare room, but they're both over 10 years old and just horrible to sleep on. We knew it was bad when we went stayed at a hotel twice, and both time the bed was so wonderful we didn't bother with any hanky panky, we just had the best sleep ever!

So now we're getting a good tax refund, thanks to finally paying off my HELP debt And we're going to get a new mattress! I have no idea about brands, what's good and what's not, so I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the choices. Is a pillowtop worth it? It's the springs in our current mattresses that are causing issues, so the pillow bit on top would mean we couldn't feel them right? Or should we go all out and get latex or something, with no springs?

Gah, so confusing!
