I liked sleeping on my futon, it wasn’t the worst thing I could think of sleeping on. When I bought the memory foam mattress I slept so well and felt so rested. I got mine for around $650, which is a solid price for a memory foam mattress. I wasn’t looking to pay too much but if I could get one around that price I was fine with that. My old mattress felt as if I was sleeping on wood, it was extremely firm and I couldn’t sleep on it. I moved to the futon which was much better, but the memory foam is the undisputed King of the mattresses.
