#12Just switched to natural wool and cotton futon mattress which gets aired once per week on a tatami mat. Looking at adjustable frames now.
If you're in the market for an adjustable frame, do yourself a favor and get one with massage built-in. Money well spent.

#14Dude this is not a computer or electronics gear. There’s no “upgrade to” - the best thing to do is go to stores and try stuff to see what works for you. Because someone’s “upgrade” might be totally wrong for you. As an example, the memory foam pillows that everybody recommends don’t work for me, I had to test until I found one that worked and is harder/firmer than the usual recommendations.

#18IKEA frame, IKEA Matrand mattress (around $250 for a 200cm^2 size), IKEA pillows. The whole setup is like $500 and perfectly fine for us.
I dont really get the obsession in the US with those >$1000 mattresses. I think the whole thing is artificially inflated via marketing, where I live people dont make a big thing about matresses and and fine :)

#19Queen-size bed with memory foam. Bed frame from Ikea.
3 blankets: one soft fleece blanket, one comforter, and one 25lb weighted blanket to keep me from kicking in my sleep. The weighted blanket has been the biggest QoS improvement for me personally.
2 comfy pillows, double-stacked.
Honorable Mentions:
My heat-pad I throw into the microwave that comes out smelling nice is fun to throw into the mix when it gets cold at night.
My super long phone-charging cable for when I want to flip sides and not worry about charge.

#20I started sleeping on the floor about six months ago. Carpet, thin duvet folded beneath me. I’ve looked at a dedicated shikibuton-type-setup, but the paradox of choice has stricken pretty hard.
It wasn’t from any sort of plan or goal, I just started doing so after some time spent crashing on my living room floor watching movies with my roommate.
I like that I get up quicker in the morning. And it’s been a more dedicated sleeping setup than a bed has ever been. Surprisingly, I’ve found that almost every time I’ve slept on a normal mattress (few different ones) since, I’ve had some back or neck pain the next day.
