I am familiar with this similar situation. When my husband and I got together, he had a mattress that he had bought with previous wife. He had had several girlfriends, before me. The bed slept wonderfully even though it was super old and required special hard to find sheets (California King). BUT it bothered the hell out of me thinking about all of the women that had likely slept in that bed. Now it's not like I thought about it constantly, but it DID bug me. So I convinced him to buy a new mattress. Got rid of the old one. Worst mistake ever. Every bed I have slept in since has been uncomfortable. We have bought two. Nothing sleeps as good as that one.
