HI Skabulba!,
Thank you for the updates – I’ve made changes (and a few others) on the Rochester list based upon your information.
Brand recommendation, or picking a mattress for someone, isn’t something I do here on the site, but I instead give you the tools and guidance to pick out a mattress for yourself by finding the information within any mattress you are considering and then comparing that to the durability guidelines I linked to in my earlier reply.
I would be very cautious about store/brand shopping in general because you are buying a specific mattress not the brand and most manufacturers have access to the same or similar components and materials. Many manufacturers make a wide range of mattresses that can vary from lower quality and less durable materials to higher quality and more durable materials in a wide range of prices. The name of the manufacturer or store on the label of the mattress won’t tell you anything about whether a specific mattress is suitable for you in terms of whether there are any lower quality materials or weak links in the design that would affect the durability and useful life of the mattress. There is more about the risks of brand shopping in post #5 here and post #12 here.
The major brands such as Sealy/Stearns & Foster, Simmons, and Serta all tend to use lower quality and less durable materials in their mattresses than most of their smaller competitors that will tend to soften or break down prematurely relative to the price you pay which is why I would generally suggest avoiding all of them completely (along with the major retailers that focus on them as well) regardless of how they may feel in a showroom along with any mattress where you aren’t able to find out the type and quality/durability of the materials inside it (see the guidelines here along with post #3 here and post #12 here and post #404 here).
It seems that they now carry Pure Talalay Bliss products, which would use good, durable materials, but their listing of all of mattresses they have on the floor doesn’t seem to be completely represented online, so anything else you consider you’ll have to ask for the specifics of the layers inside of the product in order to objectively analyze the product.
I did update the Rochester listing to reflect the HRHowards being closed, and I also updated the closest towns for Jamestown Mattress locations. I’m sorry that the closest location you visited didn’t have a selection that you liked, but they still do produce some very high quality products. Unfortunately, their factory is over two hours from Rochester for you to visit.
