Should I Buy This Englander Mattress Set?

I need to buy a twin firm or extra firm innerspring mattress set.
I could always go to a local retail chain like Sleepys.  Serta,
Sealy, etc., are usually a safe bet.

Here's the problem.  I know a guy who manages four local
furniture outlets.  I deal with smart, highly educated people
all the time.  My profession is electrical engineering.
Understanding highly technical information is normal for me.
This furniture store manager could write books on the design
and construction of mattresses.  He's very smart!

I looked at these two Englander mattress sets:

http://www.diamondfurniture.com/store/millennium.html
http://www.diamondfurniture.com/store/black-ice.html

My business partner found some awful reviews about a few
Englander mattresses and Diamond Furniture.  I found
some very postive comments about different Englander
models.

The furniture store manager tells me that Englander is a
huge company and they manufacture thousands of different
models.  He also says that the two models listed above are as
good or better than the more famous brands, and they cost
less.  He's been a terrific salesperson over the years.  I've
never felt the slightest pressure to buy anything from him.

I can't find any customer reviews of the Black Ice or Millennium
mattress sets.  I'd feel a lot better about buying one of these
sets if I could find some positive customer comments.

What should I do?  Buy from a multi-billion dollar chain like
Sleepys, or take a chance with a small business that's managed
by a very knowledgeable guy?
