We have the typical 8 year S brand bed that has had divots for at least 7 years, its so bad we don't even bother to flip it anymore. We went to a store and I told the salesman I didn't want a bed that was going to get divots, so he showed me select comfort and vera wang. The airbeds still felt like camping air mattress. And the wife and I liked the vera wang. My wife loved the latex pillow. My wife likes the soft beds I like the firm beds. But we both felt pretty comfortable with the firmest vera wang they had. She prefers soft when she tests a bed but thinks a harder bed would be better for her since she never really sleeps very well. I am 6'2 195 lbs she is 5'6 150 lbs. So I have a few Qs As a side note neither of us liked the memory foam bed.

1. Could I really expect to get 20 divot free years out of an S brand latex mattress, like the salesman claims?

2. how many years should I expect out of a foam by mail mattress?

3. How does this combo sound? All from foam by mail. King size: 6 inch talay latex firm mattress, 1 inch soft latex topper, 1inch medium latex topper, and a costco cuddlebed. About $843 How would this feel compared to the firm vera wang? I like with this setup I can cut the two toppers and give my wife the two softs and me the two mediums if it was too firm for her.

4. What about this combo? FBM again. lux-r firm convential foam 5 inches, 2 1inch latex medium toppers, 1 soft latex topper, and a cuddle bed. total cost around $500 I like this option because the cost is lower, since I am a little concerned about how a diy mail order matteress is going to work out, so I could minimize losses if its a bust. And I could order another 1 inch soft topper for even more adjustability. She could have 3 softs 1 medium, and I could have 3 mediums, 1 soft etc. Once again how would this compare to the vera wang?
