I understand the spirit of this comment but I think it’s pretty clear that the person you’re replying to is simply trying to offer helpful advice in fairly neutral tone.
And it is the correct advice. A mattress doesn’t cost less simply because it’s softer it certainly doesn’t cost more just because it’s firmer. Budget aside, there is definitely a degree of personal choice when choosing a mattress.
Thanks, I’m trying to work on being less rash overall. It’s easy to pick fights with people on the internet over any dumb thing but I feel like it starts to mess with your core personality after a while.
You and the other person you are having a discussion with really make me like this site more. It is nice(and sad that it is nice) to see two people having a civil conversation after being on reddit for like 10ish years.
If you’ve got a mattress now and it hurts your back then you already bought a mattress with your own money and it wasn’t appropriate for you, so you could have spent that money, your own money, not mine, better.
Mattresses should be replaced much more frequently than most people change them… Heck, we’ll spend 30k on a car every 5 years to spend 2h a day in it, but we won’t spend 1k on a good mattress every 10 years even though we spend 8h+ a day on it… Crazy right?
Don’t even need to spend a fortune really, Ikea has fairly good cheap mattresses 🤷
Whatever the amount, we spend a whole lot on cars (or other things) over a mattress’ lifespan yet we spend way more time on our mattress than in our car, but we still act like they never need to be replaced.
You gonna pay for it?

I like your tone. We can all talk and slightly disagree with each other and still get along.

I don’t, but many people do…
