We have a sleep number bed and I love it! I put my side at 20 and it conforms to my body. We like having the option of cranking the firmness up when we have sex so we aren't sinking into a crater. ;-)
I have a Serta Icomfort Prodigy (one of the softer models) I am very happy with it and find quality wise the Icomfort is comparable to the Tempurpedic. But Tempurpedic is still number 1 in customer satisfaction.
But, it's all about what you feel comfortable with. Go in, take your time and lie down on a couple mattresses. With memory foam you should lay on it for at least 15 minutes. I like this website for reviews, and pull it up for customers.
Oh. And now is a good time to buy, because presidents day sales. Serta, Sealy and Tempurpedic are running promos on their memory foam lines, which are price protected and thus usually not on any kind of sale.
All I can say is don't get a pocket coil pillow top mattress. We dropped 2 grand on ours and I hated it by about the 6th month. It was fabulous at first. But it's full of polyurethane foam which compresses and makes huge body impressions that make the bed unbearable. Mattress sales people will tell you this is normal and good. That's because they have to sell these mattresses that can't be flipped anymore. It's such a scam. I didn't do nearly enough research before we pulled the trigger because we needed something so badly. But if I had to do it over again I'd go to a mattress manufacturer that makes flippable mattresses the old way, or go solid latex.
We didn't buy a memory foam bed bc they said if you tend to get hot when sleeping the memory foams retain heat. If you are going to get a memory foam I would suggest getting one with gel. We ended up going the cheaper route and getting a reg mattress but with a pillow top. I have an exaggerated arch in my back so I need the extra cushioning to support it

Sorry if I sound bitter. I am
Ours told us that if the body impression reached a certain point that it would be conferred by the warranty because it isn't supposed to do that. Ours was plush, not pillow top, though.
I forgot to say that I had back issues and needed a firmer mattress. MH and I have never slept better. And no more back pain! We bought the firmest icomfort- I got it when they ran the free boxsprings so I paid around $1500

all the research I did after the fact on these warranties pretty much told me they're crap. The impression has to be a certain depth, or they won't cover it, even if it's visible and causes problem. Tons of people on the internet have tried and been refused. These companies know what they're doing so they don't have to pay...

I wasn't thrilled about getting a Tempurpedic as I like a plusher feel, but MH has lots of sleep issues and really wanted it. I love it now. We do have the cooler "Breeze" version and have no sweating issues whatsoever. I forget which exact mattress we got but it's one of their "in the middle" ones - not too firm or too soft.

Was it one of the major brands? Serta, Sealy, Simmons? Smaller brands are more likely to try and screw you on warranties. Who did you buy it from? Some retailers handle the warranty process for you.

Memory foam isn't for me. I don't enjoy it.
I got a pocket coil mattress because they're supposed to be good for people who change positions a lot. I'm really happy with it. I think it is from a Canadian company called Springwall.
Before that I had a Sealy posturepedic and it was pretty good. Lasted me more than 10 years I think.

Stearns and foster. And I've measured it myself. Across the brands It has to be something crazy like 3 inches deep so most people won't qualify even if they have a problem. Like I said that's why they sell these "body impressions" as normal.

Ours may be through the store, then. We were told something small like a 1/2 inch. I have all of the paperwork, but I haven't actually read through it beyond knowing to keep a waterproof mattress protector on it to keep from voiding the warranty.
I know you've all been eagerly awaiting this update - DH and I went and got a Tempurpedic (it's basically the updated version of my old one that I loved). And they gave us two fancy memory foam pillows (with cooling gel - amazing!) and a mattress cover for free. It's being delivered Saturday - happy Valentine's Day to us! Thanks for everyone's thoughts! I had been leaning toward getting another Tempurpedic so it was great to hear all the positive thoughts here to confirm I wasn't crazy.

We don't carry Stearns, but it is owned through Sealy, and all our Sealy coil mattresses are considered normal until 1 1/2 impressions. Anything less than 1 1/2" is considered normal wear and tear. Good Memory Foam mattresses are considered defective at 3/4".
Have you gone through the store you purchased it from? Going through the retailer is usually easier/less likely to get shaken from.
