If you sit on, sleep on, stare at, or touch something for more than an hour a day, spend whatever it takes to get the best.

Honestly, I've found I sleep best when I'm traveling and forced to sleep on my foam mattress pad (not the inflatable variety) and sleeping bag.

Though it may be more traveling and being out in the world and doing things that causes me to sleep soundly.

Also, you're probably more physically (and mentally) tired.

I do this voluntarily. It works pretty well, most of the time.

Seconded. Overstock is great for getting ridiculously good bedding fairly cheaply.

This is the best mattress I have ever had. It has a little more cushyness than a tempurpedic and is much less expensive. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_kitchen?ie=UTF8&search...

+1 for the tempur pedic pillow - it may be my best investment ever
