I just amortize the cost over the useful period.

$2k bed / 10y = $200/y.

If that’s worth it for me to upgrade then it’s simple to make the call. We spend a third of our life sleeping so having a good bed is a worthwhile investment.

That assumes the $2k bed is any better than the $1k bed. There is a lot of info proposing it’s not even better than the $500 bed but the marketing teams can easily sell it at a massive markup because people split the cost over years and use.

I don't know about newer viscoelastic foam beds, but I've had the experience of buying several standard foam mattresses (due to life event lots of family was flying in) and there is a quality difference between the lower and mid grades.

One would typically try them out at the showroom - it'd be really nice if they could let you sleep a whole night on one.
