Since around 1/3 of our time is spent sleeping I thought it would be good to find the best bed possible for my health. I am looking at buying a new bed and can go up to around 2k for one. I have seen commercials for the sleep number and according to them they are the best. I currently have a bed from Ikea and while stylish I don't get a very good nights rest from it. What is the best bed out there that I could get for under 2k? What should I look for?
Best Bed?

In general you will be given a choice of cloud soft, soft, and firm in the top comfort layer . Then you will also have to choose what sort of spring.
I recommend going to the stores and lying on each of the beds for 10-15 minutes each. If you have a partner try and take them. Then purchase the best bed that you can afford.

Is the bed itself even best way to sleep?
I replace my pillows about every 6 months or so as they've been known to fill with dustmites and the thought gives me the creeps.

You want to avoid anything (matress, pillows) from Tempur and related companies. They use Elastic Viscosis which IS extremely comfortable, but is subject to the laws of entropy: the material loses it's "bounce" constantly, and after a few months/year the firmness is gone and you have average to low support.

Everyone in my family uses dust mite-resistant mattress and pillow covers. They're breathable, so they aren't uncomfortable, but the pores are small enough that dust mites can't get through. These are a big help. If you Google a bit, they are pretty easy to find. Sheets, pads, and blankets still need to be laundered regularly.

Anything that improves sleep quality (and mattress quality obviously can) I would think is extremely effective WRT lifespan and quality of life, joie de vivre.

I have given you an answer to which you replied....
So perhaps the advice other people have given as well as myself is good advice and all that there is.
Trust me wootwoot, when I buy things I am one of most thorough consumer buyers out there and the best advice I can give you is to go and lie on the beds. Of course there are some basic things that you need to keep in mind when you purchase but most reasonable companies will provide these things anyway. The point here is that there is no best bed.
I'm moving this topic from the health fora where questions on health are usually asked to topics unrelated to life extension. Once again I suggest you search the world wide web for consumer information

The memory foam varies in quality (but not always proportionately to price) with the higher density of "bubbles" the better. The idea of memory foam is that you spine should always be kept straight (or as stright as a spine should get) even if you sleep on your front. If have a big stomach or back-side the foam compresses to encompass it, rather than you lying in a curved shape on top of the mattress, bending your back.
Also you don't have to turn it over which is handy.
I went for a combined mattress because I don't like my ride too soft and because I'm old and slow at accepting new concepts, so I hedged
