What actually makes a mattress work long term for couples?
My partner and i are finally replacing our queen after about 7 years and I didnt expect two people using the same bed to make shopping this annoying. I sleep mostly on my side and move around a lot, while they sleep on their back and barely move. Our current mattress has also started dipping more on my side, which is making me care a lot more about how well the next one holds up.
Nectar is one we're looking at rn, but I'm trying not to choose something just because it feels good for ten minutes in a store. With two people on it every night, I'd rather know what still feels decent a few years later.
If you bought a mattress as a couple, what ended up mattering more than you expected? Did both sides wear evenly, and does your partner feel it every time you roll over? I'm mostly trying to avoid another bed that feels great at first and slowly turns into two different sleeping surfaces.
