I desperatey need to buy a new proper bed. Here are my initial thoughts/stats:

have sleep apnea so I feel like it should be adjustable

side-sleeper 99% of the time

no idea about how firm I like or want

Wonder if it would be best to buy in-store so I can actually try it out, I'm having a hard time stomaching the idea of buying something online with zero idea of what it actually ends up like, not that anything wouldnt be better at this point than my current situation

Consider getting something made of memory foam. You know, Tempur or one of the competitors. It’s absurdly expensive, but you could think of it as an investment to your health. Maybe just start with a pillow to see how you like it. Buy the mattress only when you feel like you’re ready to spend that much.
