My wife and I have been sleeping for years with back pain and finally tied it down to our mattress (I am 38 and she is 40 so we aren't that old!). It wasn't even the claimed "8 years" old for replacement but we had to try something different. After weeks of research on the web we went with NECTAR due to numerous reviews as well as the LIFETIME warranty and their discounts / pricing. Yes it took over 2 months to receive the mattress and the two free pillows but they gave me an additional $100 off for the inconvenience and to date I have never slept so soundly in my entire life. Believe me when we say this mattress is well worth the wait!!!
