Need to buy a new mattress

HI, I am new to the forum.  Hubby and I bought a Sealy Influence king size mattress a year and a half ago and it was a very firm mattress.  Hubby did not like it.  We have given that mattress set to our 14 year old son.  Two weeks ago, hubby and I went and bought a Select Comfort 5000 king size bed.  I HATE it.  Hubby likes it, doesn't love it but he likes it much better than the Sealy.  The select comfort I feel is a glorified air mattress and it is hurting at the top of my spinal cord along my shoulder area.  I called Select comfort today and they are coming to get it in about a week.   Testing that mattress is costing us about $400. 

Now I am in search of a new mattress set.  I went to a Serta store and really didn't like any of them.  I did go to another mattress store that carried several brands and really like the Simmons Beautyrest Black.  The king size is about $2,800 and I am going to try and get the manager to go down a little on that price.  I did try the Tempurpedic and we both did not like that.  We like a firm but a little soft mattress.  The salesman lead us to the Simmons and we both liked it.  I need to check out Sealys before we make our decision.  Anyone have any advice for us?  I didn't realize how hard making a decision on a mattress would be. 

Thanks

Laura

Consider all latex options from forum sponser FloBeds or internet based SleepEZ.  Their component approach allows you fine tune your mattress for your needs and you'll end up with a bed that will last for many years.
