I'm really not sleeping well at night [View all]

I estimated that my mattress is 12 years old so I'm thinking I should replace it. It's sagging and I wake up with my sleep interrupted and or I wake up hot all the time.

I'm looking at a Sealy Posturepedic that's medium firm with gel foam. It's currently on sale for $800, which I think is reasonable. Of course I would go to the mattress store and do the lie down test before making the purchase.

It looks comfortable. Does anyone have any sleep experience with this type of mattress?
