Great board! We are going to buy a mattress from our local mattress shop and have a budget of less than a grand.  The 2 mattresses we are looking at are about the same price but one is gel and the other spring.  How do we decide?

I'd go with the first one. It is still an innerspring bed but it has memory foam on top. It seems similar to what many have done here which is get a firm mattress and add a foam topper. I would like to know the density of the foam however.
