Looking for an inexpensive replacement mattress

I am starting my search for a new mattress.  My current mattress is around 10 years old (Simmons Back Care Entre) and I am starting to feel the springs when I sleep.  I have flipped and rotated the mattress and still feel them.

I do not know how long I plan to keep this mattress since right now I am living with my parents, but depending on job situation might move out in a year.  When I move I plan to invest in a more expensive mattress (Sleepez/Flobed/maybe Carpe Diem, Vi Spring, or Hastens) and the mattress I buy now would be for when I visit.

I weigh around 150 pounds and usually sleep on my stomach or side.  I just want to get something that will help me get better quality sleep.

Right now I am mainly looking at:

 

Costco in store $399 Novaform Gel Memory Foam Mattress Queen http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11621595&search=novaform+mattress&Mo=22&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=4000000&D=novaform+mattress&Ntt=novaform+mattress&No=6&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1

Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Mattress http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-12-inch-Memory-Mattress/dp/B003CT37L0

Original Mattress Factory Classic (if they deliver to NJ) http://www.originalmattress.com/classic/overview

or an Ikea Mattress

 

I am not sure which base I would use for the memory foam though...

 

Any opinions or comments are appreciated.

Now Costco has the Sealy Barryton Queen Mattress on sale for $480 after coupon (in store), I will most likely go for this, although it has a little more foam than I would like.

It seems like it should be decent for a few years and be a good candidate for mattress surgery down the line (when hopefully it will be in a guest room).

Watch out for memory foam!  It creates "normal body impressions" that are often painful.
