Memory foam? Memory foam/gel? Innerspring? What do you recommend and why? Also what brands, apparently there are more than I knew existed.
What do you want to spend? I just went through this process and decided we wanted a foam/gel hybrid. We ended up getting a Sealy Optimum Gold. I love it, one of the best purchases I've made in years. I previously slept like crap and sleep like a baby now. Here is the thread I started last year when I was in the same process...... http://forums.bowhunting.com/water-cooler/61965-mattress-boxspring-buying-advice.html
Look into Latex. We just bought one a couple months back from SleepEZ.com. It's amazing how small the mattress arrives (rolled up and wrapped in a few layers of plastic). It can be used on both sides with one being firm and the other medium firm. We're sleeping on the firm side. I'm actually sleeping a helluva lot better and I can remember my dreams now. We upgraded from a saggy pillow top. It's still too early to tell how it will hold up but I'm not complaining for $800.

I've never heard that but definitely feel like I'm getting better sleep. At least my back isn't hurting anymore. Either way, the saggy pillow top had to go.
Anyone have any expierence with a sleep number bed? We went to the store and got the full tour, and it felt amazing on my setting or sleep number...but most new beds feel great until I get them home.
As of right now after reading a million and a half differant reviews on all kinds of mattresses I'm leaning towards the Bed in a Box memory foam/gel with the silk top. Less than 2 grand and a ton of positive reviews. More so than TempurPedic actually. I'm hoping that a new bed will help alleviate the pains I've been having in my shoulders and neck because it's becoming unbearable.
This is a pretty good site about mattresses. Here's a writeup on the one you're thinking about. Unbiased Bed In A Box Mattress Reviews and Ratings 2015 : Compare vs Tempurpedic : Complaints : PacBed Silk Elegance Natural Bamboo
And now I find this one that is much closer to the TempurPedic in terms of material quality. Anybody have any experience with them? Cool Symphony | Compare to Tempur-Cloud® Rhapsody
We have the sleep number, worst purchase we ever made. But we only bought one of the $1800 dollar ones, I would hope that the more expensive ones are better.
