I have been looking around the internet for some time now, and I am starting to believe that expensive isn't always better.  It seems that buying a mattres online, from what I can tell, is less expensive and just about the same quality as a store front or big chain.  I suffer from back pain and migraines, and my doctor recently told me that I should switch my mattress and pillows to memory foam.  I managed to change to the pillows, and they did help, so I am trying to talk my husband into a mattress online. 

Where should I be looking?  I've checked ebay, and other sellers online, and some of the best prices I have found are online. 

Can you guys maybe point me in a direction?  There are some ebayers out there, and a company called Drift Away Mattress.  What about overseas?  Anyone bought from a place like that? 

Desperate to get some more relief.

What you mostly want - in my opinion - is a type of memory foam that has a quicker response than Tempurpedic, one that returns to its normal shape quicker than regular foam but not so slow as Tempur. foam.

I think you also want at least 4lb density, or preferably 5 or 6lb density. Personally I'd avoid Chinese made memory foam because a) the Chinese government is evil; and b) you can't trust their products to be safe.
