>you spend most of your life either laying down or on your feetRecs for top-tier mattresses and shoes/insoles for comfort?
That’s just a myth by mattress/chair/shoes marketing guys.
>>1577305I probably spent way too much on my recliner chair but I love it and would do it again. Might as well splurge on the things you use constantly instead of doordash and funko pops
>>1577307Yep, you see here, people trying to justify their unnecessary and expensive purchases. It’s a form of brainwashing.
>>1577312It's just money bro it's not that deep
shoes and mattresses are really the 2 things you have to try on to find what works best for you. recommendations are usually meaningless.
>>1577329I order everything online and can't try anything out so it's over. Thanks for trying though
>>1577334you can return them if they don't work
>>1577337Yeah that takes about 2-4 weeks I'm good lol I'll just roll the dice on a good brand and deal with it if it's not perfect I guess
My new mattress is great, my old one had springs and would sometimes resonate with my heartbeat.

>>1577304>Recs for top-tier mattressesSo-called "top tier" mattresses is based upon marketing hype. Many mid-range mattresses offer excellent comfort and performance without the life-crushing price. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+mattress+are+madeThe choice of mattress might also be influenced by your sleeping environment such as whether or not you have air conditioning in the summer. Or if your body radiates a lot of moisture due to having certain medical conditions such as widespread psoriasis. In such a case you might not go with those memory foam mattresses that come in a tiny shipping box. Or if you move living locations a lot and have a way to vacuum pack that foam mattress back into a tiny rectangle, you might choose that kind of gimmick mattress despite its compromises. Remember that foam models run hot and have less breathing.Besides all the "usual" advice about comfort, sleeping position, and use of a "box spring" layer under the mattress, your body weight also affects your choice. If you're under 130 pounds and aren't going to gain a lot of weight (eg pregnancy), then your body may float too high on firm mattresses without compressing the comfort layers enough to support your entire torso as opposed to just your high points pressing hardest on the mattress. And if you have a heavy body, you may want a thicker mattress to avoid bottoming out.What do I use? Sealy Posturepedic Elite because it has enhanced edge support. I like to sit on the edge of the mattress almost as if it were a sofa. It breathes sufficiently well as I like to sleep under one sheet and a comforter. The slight weight and stiffness of the comforter makes me feel "better".
>>1577433>Sealy Posturepedic EliteI have a Casper Dream hybrid with edge support and it does the job pretty well. I just need some good shoes/boots or insoles for work because I'm standing on concrete all day
Most foam mattresses offgas chemicals.
>>1577435>I just need some good shoes/boots or insoles for workIf you are standing mostly in one area, then it's possible to use those stiff foam floormats that alleviate soreness and fatigue.
>>1577471Unfortunately I move around a lot
>>1577487Then look for inserts that use gel since the foam ones always compress down. While you don't have a bone spur in your heel, the gel in the heel area will still give you a lot of cushioning through the day.While the insert instructions might not say so, after adding inserts, loosen up all the laces in all the eyelets. Put your foot into the shoe and now re-tighten all the lace positions. This will help the shoe not fit so tight due to the insert taking up space.
