How deep is the topper part on your new mattress? At present mine is a 1" version, but I was thinking about upgrading to a 3" to get a little extra comfort. I'm based in the UK so I don't think we can get Intelligel, but I'll check it out. Thanks, appreciated your thoughts on this.

I'm considering a fake down "featherbed" and a memory foam topper, among other things. A year ago, my husband and I stayed in a hotel that had a Sleep Number bed. I know they get bad reviews, but for that night, we were in heaven! My sleep number turned out to be about 25, and my husband's was 75! It was as if we were in two separate beds but we slept well. When we are ready for a new bed, I guess we could replace the king with two twins so that we can get what we need (unless Sleep Number quality improves and goes down in price). I need something very soft that I can just sink into and trying to find something that will work without spending a lot.

I haven't had any luck yet with beds either, but part of it is that hubby is picky too and we just can't agree yet so we continue with the one we've had the past 7 years (Sealy Posturepedic Pillowtop... ack). Haven't tried toppers yet but hope too. The research I've done so far points to all things latex. Have you tried any of those? I wrote in to this great sales guy in NJ who has a fabulous mattress blog. Here's his response to me: http://blog.pennlive.com/mattress/2009/03/rochelle_a_mattress_for_fibrom.html - what do you think? They're a bit pricey but I hope to give it a try one of these years, if hubby can be arm-wrestled into it!
