Ah, technology in mattresses can be a wonderful thing, eh?

I’ve been looking around the Internet trying to learn something about beds and mattresses. My wife and I are in need of a new bed. We are trying to decide whether one of the high-tech mattresses like a memory foam mattress or one of those adjustable beds where you shift all the positions and/or firmness settings would be better than a plain old-fashioned bed with a “regular” mattress — whatever “regular” means anymore regarding mattresses.

The one thing I’ve learned so far is that I don’t know as much as I should about mattresses and beds in general. How about you? I’m amazed that one technology says it was created by NASA for astronauts, another suggests it was developed by top-secret European scientists under circumstances not fully explainable. Or whatever.

I discovered, for example, that those memory foam mattresses expect the mattress to “sink” and shape itself to my rather, uh, “portly” body mass. So, why is it that my current worn out mattress has shaped itself to more or less sag into roughly the form my body has pressed into it — and that’s uncomfortable? Will shape-shifting mattress technology actually leave me with a sore back? If not, why not?

Tell me your experiences. Give me some recommendations (no salesmen or dealers, please). Tell us all what your favorite or best-ever mattress has been like.
