Does anyone know differences between the Serta Perfect Sleeper beds sold at Sam's Club vs. other stores like Colders?

My husband and I went to Colders yesterday and found the bed we want: Serta Perfect Sleeper Choice Edition Eurotop. It has 660 coils, 2.5 Ultrasoft Foam, Foam encased edges; Colders is sellling it for $1819.99.

I found a similar mattress at Sam's Club website: the Serta® Grandis Super Pillowtop Set for $998.00.

I was unable to determine what the differences were between the two so I called Serta. They told me that they didn't know what the differences were and that the composition of the padding they were unable to disclose to the public. They advised me to call the retailers. So I called Sam's and they couldn't tell me anymore than what Serta had written and is posted on the Sam's website which is very basic. I called Colder's and they told me that Sam's club made inferior version of Serta mattresses that won't hold up and that Serta made a "special" mattress that only they sell.

Does anyone know the truth in this? Has anyone bought a Serta Perfect Sleeper Grandis mattress from Sam's and has it help up? Is $1819.99 for a mattress too much?

Thanks for any help you can give me! :)

Thanks so much for your advice! I've been reading more about what Bill is doing with building his own bed and I'm thinking of doing something similar. My husband and I really like innersprings though. I am thinking of buying a Serta Perfect Sleeper without a pillow top and instead buying egg crate or 2" of PU foam to put on top of it from foambymail. We really like the coil system of the Perfect Sleeper for the support it provides.  Before we were married by husband bought a 3" memory foam topper from Overstock and put it on top of an old Simmons mattress. When we were married that whole system had to go. I hated the memory foam topper because when we laid next to each other we formed a canoe in the middle of the bed. Maybe I would like the memory foam but the 3" was just too much. We hate Visco memory foam even though it's better than the cheaper memory foam supposedly. That's why I was thinking of possibly putting 2" of PU foam or egg crate or both on top like what mattress companies do for the Pillowtop. What do you think? I know that PU won't last but since it's only the topper we can always replace it. What do you think?
