Update: After sleeping on the Walmart Ecosleep Laytex/Poly mattress for ~1 week, my lingering month-long back pain is 99% gone. I think its pretty safe to say the AZ Premium mattress was the source of my pain, it was a quality mattress, just not firm enough for me. The Ecosleep is much firmer...

I purchased a mattress in person from them, but it wasn't one they manufactured themselves. I did see the stuff they made though and it all seemed really high quality. It is a very small family-run business (literally run out of the owners garage). So there isn't much overhead from them and...

Picking up the Walmart mattress tonight. Im gonna let it expand for a day before I sleep on it though. Ill report back next week.

Thanks again for the advice Phoenix, you don't know how much it's appreciated! I'm ordering the 8" EcoSleep from Walmart. I decided to go with the firmer of the two since I read somewhere here to go with the firmest mattress you find comfortable. If its too firm I can always return it...

Somewhere along the way I got my mattresses confused, or the salesman was confused. Apparently the Brooklyn Hannah is not a polyfoam core; its laytex on top of a coil spring core. Ive had no luck tracking down one at the various R&S stores so I finally called the factory directly and got this...

Thanks for the last recommendation. If the Brooklyn Hannah from R&S doesn't work out I might go the Walmart route instead.

Thats the one. Its a shame I have to return it because I do find it really comfortable. My back just doesn't seem to like it.

Update: I am going to be returning the mattress I bought soon :( Ive had some lower back issues for the past couple weeks. I dont usually have back problems and when I do they never last this long. I've quit sleeping on the mattress already. Don't get me wrong I think the mattress is great...

I went ahead and bought the poly/memory foam from Bed Phoenix. I found it too comfortable to pass up on for the price he was asking. Also R&S had sold the poly/laytex combo I was looking at there. I think ithe one I bought will work out well but it did come with a 60-day comfort return policy...

I stopped by Bed Phoenix last night, its a pretty small operation but they had some really good materials. Most of it was out of my price range though. They did have one mattress that they recently got in though from another manufacaturer that he wanted $600 for. It is a memory foam top layer...

Thanks for the opinions Phoenix. So it sounds like there is a reason the Four Seasons innerspring is discounted so much. With that info, I'm leaning towards the Brooklyn Polyfoam/Latex mattress now. I'm still going to check out Bed Phoenix, but I'm not really expecting much. I checked out...

I stopped by both SleepEZ and R&S Mattress yesterday and was impressed. Both stores seemed to have better deals than what I had seen at the big retial stores with the S-brands. I am having trouble finding any info or reviews for the mattress I tried though. Here is what I found: From R&S...

It sounds like heat isn't really a problem with Latex, thats good news. So looking at the link to the 5.5" Queen Size core from mattresses.net, if I pick up just the core, then all I need is a zippered cover and a bed frame to have a sleepable bed? I'm a little confused about buying just the...

Cowboy, thanks for the suggestions. I haven't done much research on Latex because I thought they would be out of my price range, but that link you sent looks promising. Hopefully I can try out some Latex mattresses when I visit the AZ Premium Mattress warehouse and that will give me an idea on...

Big thanks for the help! I'm gonna check out R&S mattress today and hopefully the other two places tomorrow. In the meantime I'll stop at Walmart and pick up a cheap air mattress, thats a good idea. I don't think I got more than an hour or two of sleep last night... Btw sorry for not stating...
