Looking for some advice as my back is currently killing me. I've got a five year old queen Sealy plush set that needs to go. Don't recall the specs, but I bought it because it was similar to the Sheraton bed that I found I slept great on back when I was traveling. I've got the usual complaint of body impressions and degraded foam causing valleys.
I want to buy from Costco due to their great return policy, so I'm limited in my choices. I have tried memory foam and hate it, so not an option. Also 6'1" 280lbs, so looking for something firm I won't sink all the way into. My current choices from the Costco lineup are three Sealy innersprings and a latex "hybrid". * Sealy Alanson Cushion Firm - $580 * Ivory Forest Firm - $650 These two look to be the same construction with some variation in the types of foam used in the comfort layer. *Springport Firm - $680 (on sale from normal $800) This one looks to have the upgraded "XT" edge support and some extra foam, including a .79" latex layer Sleep Science Latex 10" - $990 Latex looks interesting and my research makes me think it will have a longer life than an innerspring. It is at the top of my budget so I would probably drop in on my existing box spring which seems to be in good shape. I can add a board if necessary.
If I go with an innerspring, I'm thinking less foam is better since that is what seems to degrade. I can always throw on a topper if too firm. So, do I go cheap and plan on throwing it away in five years, go for the mid-point with the Springport on sale, or splurge on the latex and hope to get more life out of it.
Thanks for any advice. This message was modified May 20, 2011 by t1234
