Kait, I was amazed that I did NOT wake up sore from the pull-out couch/mattress! I found that by positioning my body just right it actually gave me proper support! Sounds crazy I know, and certainly it was not comfortable because during the night I'd have to constantly re-position myself to keep from putting my weight over a cross-bar as you said. But I actually woke up less sore from that than from some configurations of my DIY mattress!

Again, I think it boils down to my needing softer springs. I now realize (or at least think I realize) that I bought the wrong kind of springs for me. My decision was logical and researched and based on my experience with an Englander mattress in a Vegas hotel that was comfy. However, now I have to conclude that my springs are too firm for me (12 gauge or...

Since I'm still "free" to post for another day or two I can add a few more. Most of the mass merchandising outlets that are near you or Cleveland generally carry "S" brand mattresses. Just to add to the previous list though, here are a few more that carry latex "in some version" that may be helpful for either "testing", reference, or in helping you know if what someone calls an "all latex" mattress really is.

http://www.sleepsourceusa.com/mattresses.html Retailer. Carries Natura which has a wide range of latex and latex combinations that are very nice and clearly described (no poly in the comfort layers). May also carry Dormia which makes some latex mattresses but make sure you see a cutaway (showing the layers) on the Dormia as many of their mattresses (or Classic Brands which they are part of) are only partly latex.

Well you sure don't have a lot around you. Mostly chain stores dominated by Sealy, Serta, and Simmons.

Here are a few that are close that you probably know about that have some other brands besides these. They might give you something to compare the "S" brands to at least.

You could either check these out or use these as "testing grounds" and order online which would open up many options and great value for you.

Of the ones you posted here is what I know:

Bowles Mattress: Probably overpriced for a "local" manufacturer. I got a quote from them on a spa series 9" embrace latex and it was 2199 plus shipping. Their lineup also looks familiar as if they are manufacturing another line (such as stress-o-pedic or symbol) but I'd have to do some digging and "matching up" to see if that was the case.

Indiana mattress company: Don't have them in my database but my initial impression of them is very favorable. Adding them to my DB. Worth pursuing

Holder mattress: Have them in my database but thought they were overpriced. Didn't research them any further

Holder bedding: Talked to a delightful old guy there. He is mailing me information on his mattresses because he wasn't hi-tech enough to email it to me. Seemed like...

First I would like to disclose that I am a mattress store owner since 8 years back. I am currently running just one store which I also am acting like the sales person in. I sell or have sold brands like Hastens, Tempur-pedic, Comfor-pedic (before Simmons Bought them out), Serta, Spring Air, Englander, Simmons, Sealy, Sterns & Foster, Natura, NexGel, Corsicana, Symbol, Kaymed. 

I would like to give you my opinion on the mattress industry as well as on the Icomfort product...

1. Density of foam is a measurement of quality in most cases but not always. There are fillers that will make a foam denser but not necessary a higher quality.

2. memory foam/visco foam/tempur-material are all sleeping warmer because they are dense, they compress under weight and they trap the body heat of the sleeper inside of the foam. A mattress needs...

Anyone ever heard of Symbol Mattress Response Elegance or have any opinions about it?

Every other mattress brand pitted against Sealy is more often squished, stomped and then cast into shade. It is the reputation speaking, I would like to believe because when it comes to mattress excellence, Sealy is not always the Alpha.

This is a call to all you mattress shoppers out there not to limit your choices to just brand name. You cannot judge a mattress simply because it has more commercials or the other one is privately owned. Do the same when it comes to Symbol vs Sealy mattress.
