Hi all, I've been reading this forum since about 4:30 am (which is the time I wake up and start fighting the sagging hole in the center of my King Coil Eurotop - yuck.

I see that a lot of you are going towards latex and some towards memory foam.  I'm afraid to make the jumpt to "the dark side" but what do you think of this Sleep Science Celeste bed from Costco?

Is there anywhere I can get one for that cheap that's as good or even better where there's not 4-6week delivery?

One last question:  I may stay with inner spring beds, and know that I want to go firm and build upon it if necessary rather than get one with all this cheap padding that sags.  I've learned about heavy coil gauge and don't know if should go with latex or visco on top.  I found a SpringAir for $999 (queen set) at a small retailer here in Boston which is 980 coil count with 2.5" of visco on top.  What do you think of that, even though SpringAir supposedly sucks?

I'm 44, have a major problem with sleeping and need a good mattress to help, am a stomach and side sleeper and like a firmer feel.

Thank you!

For my money you can't beat FloBeds. Order  by phone and talk to either Dave Turner, the father, or Dewey the son, and talk to the people who own the company that has been in business for over 30 years. They have an excelent BBB record, and many satified custermers on this forum.

I purchased a king-size all natural latex mattress from them back in September. I could not be happier.

 You can go to the thread I started entitled "Just bought a new FloBeds" it is quite extensive and if you want to read it all,( unless they have changed this feature with their new redo of his website) and hit the "ALL". I believe it is over 180 posts by now.

They have the best exchange and return policy on the Internet that I'm aware.

 

Good luck with your purchase.
