I am interested in purchasing a Simmons world class plush firm Paris mattress from sleep train. I was doing my research online about it and came across people saying that the spring Simmons use aren't tempered. Is this true? If so, should I be concerned? I would like to know how this would affect the life and quality of the mattress. Thanks for any feedback.

Simmons does not have any higher warranty claim rate than the other major manufacturers.

Simmons plush and pillowtops are good choices if you and your partner are both under about 220lbs. The Simmons firm is a good choice if you like the individual coil feel but are over these numbers. The plush and pillowtops are 15.25ga. The firm is 13ga.

Currently myself and my partner have a combined weight of about 260 lbs.  Is this to much for the Simmons springs to handle?  If so, any suggestions on what I should be looking for in terms of spring quality to support that weight?  Brands/models?

That should be fine for either the 15.25ga or the 13ga versions.
