Does anyone have a spring mattress that they like and has lasted more than 1 year?

I am thinking of trying a spring mattress, and I have had my share of duds.  Is there a mattress that doesn't have garbage foam in it or doesn't have any so I can build on top of it???  I think I know the answer (no) but thought I would ask.  Which springs are best, I know stay away from Serta.

I would check with an independent mattress company in your area. They usually put a solid coil system inside and often don't have all the extra foams and padding. Or they at least use QUALITY foams. Many will build you a mattress to your specifications. Most of the time, even with the Big S companies, it' not the issue of bad springs. Most springs last a long time. It's just that cheap foam inside that breaks down, giving the illusion of "sagging springs".

Does anyone know of AZ mattress makers that are reputable?  I think they might be cheaper than the "S" companies?  The other two responses on mattresses are in NY, too far for me ; )

Scottsdale has a Hastens store and used to have a VI-Spring dealer as well and may still have one. These cost as much as a car, but are arguably the finest mattresses money can buy.
