I have a sci, my wife wants a new bed. Is there a brand / kind that we should check out or just what's comfortable for us?

Tempurpedic is the best in the world.

Tempurpedic all the way. It is a pricey option but worth every penny for the comfort and the warranty.

We found the Tempurpedic to be too warm for us. We went with a Sleep Number adjustable bed. It's a wall hugger so it looks like a regular bed, no "hospitaly" look to it at all. And we can adjust our sleep numbers as we want, individually. It's great!

I find the Tempurpedic is really good when the nerves are acting up (burning hot pins & needles sensation)...I think the only cushier of a mattress would be one of those air filled ones, but those don't come in sizes for 2 people to share which would take away from your intimacy as a couple.
