I'm looking for a good basic innerspring mattress, in a firm configuration so it doesn't have a lot of crap foam, that I can then customize with a couple latex or memory foam toppers to get my dream bed. After trying a few all-foam beds I find I still like having an innerspring somewhere better than just foam, even if its very good foam. 

I notice that dial-a-mattress. aka 1-800-mattress (who have actually recently been bought out by one of the big mattress chains) still carry a line of "CEO's Private Collection" doublesided (flippable) innerspring mattresses, at quite reasonable prices (@$600 for a king mattress alone). They claim these are high quality mattresses, but private label made for them by a local company (Rex Bedding, of whom I can find very little on the net). 

These are described as having 312 coil 13 gauge bonnel springs. Anyone know if this is any good or not?
