After the previous thread of how much we hate our NovaForm Gel mattress (hard as a rock, yet touted as /normalplush), I started looking at other mattresses from Costco.

Sooooo, who is Sleep Science and should they be considered? They have what they are calling a pillowtop (which in a foam mattress seems redundant)

Hybrid Bliss

Mattress top layer: 1” of proprietary 5 lb black diamond bamboo charcoal visco memory foam.
Second layer: 1” of proprietary 5 lb slumber tech visco memory foam.
Third layer: 2” of medium latex
Bottom layer: 7” proprietary support tech base foam.

Or they have a Pillow top Ara:

13” pillow top mattress fits the dimensions of your bed
Meets the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1633 - Federal flammability (open flame) standards
Limited Warranty: 20 years
Cover is bamboo fabric consisting of three layers. This fabric is 300g/m2, the percentage of bamboo is 40%, nylon is 40%, polyester is 20%.
Cover top layer: 100% bamboo fabric
Middle layer: 100% nylon
Bottom layer: 100% polyester.
Micro-suede cover sides are 100% polyester
Mattress core top layer: 3 inches 5-lb visco foam, 11-13 IFD
Second layer: 3-5/8 inches 5-lb visco foam, 11-13 IFD
Third layer: ½ inch air barrier
Fourth Layer: The Wedge Patented Edge Support System
Base layer: 6” Air Channel Base, dual density, dual IFD, relief cut urethane core

Thoughts?

I did get the hybrid from Cosco and have had it for about 90 days. The mattress appears to have pretty good quality but I found it is 10" rather than 11". The base foam appears to be 6" rather 7" as described. I sent Sleep Science an email suggesting they revise their description on their web site accordingly and consider a price adjustment but didn't even get a curtesy response. Anyway, I consider the mattress to be very firm and doesn't seem to have much cushion in the comfort layer. Seems like they need to add another two inches of 5# in the second layer to provide that cushion. As a side sleeper, I find the mattress too firm and am debating on returning it and getting the Ara or adding a 3" talalay topper in the 19 ILD area. If anyone has suggestions, they'd be appreciated.
