Just another update to keep bugging you friendly people.
I spend most of yesterday revisiting mattress stores. I actually took too long and was unable to buy some of the other things I was going to… I have for the most decided that I am simply not comfortable spending over $1,000 for a mattress so I went back to try the non-latex mattresses and find something which is going to be comfortable, match my PPP, and not break the bank.

First off, no return policy. No replacement offers, no money back, once you buy it that ends the transaction and they do not accept any returns. I had not asked previously as I simply assumed they would have a return policy, this is actually a huge negative in my opinion.
They have a latex mattress by Englander which I had mentioned when I was looking originally I think, not worth looking back at my old posts if I did or not unimportant. Price around $1,299 for Queen size, includes delivery and foundation. Problem: Having tested it again it is too firm for my liking. At any rate this was the only latex mattress which I would have considered due to the price and that I already enjoyed it beforehand. With this now out of the way I can focus on under $1,000 mattresses.
They also have a “white dove” type “Cheswick” priced $619. It is some type of foam mattress… The salesperson had zero information on the mattress, refused to print any document with price for estimation or paper tracking, and a google search provides no info on the mattress. The mattress felt good while I laid on it for 20 minutes, but without any sort of return policy I really do not think I will pursue this as an option, not worth spending any more time on.

The salesperson seemed like he might have been new. Anyway, I tied the mattresses and none of them felt right to me at this price point.

Literally right next to the Original Mattress Factory. Basista, Original Mattress Factory, and MattressMatters are all within walking distance actually. I tried majority of the mattresses in this store and none of them felt right.

I have had more luck with this store than any of the others until now so I decided to try it again. There were 2 which both seem that they would be a good match for me both in terms of PPP comfort along with price. Southerland Filmore Pillowtop and Southerland Southgate pillow top. Filmore=$899 listed price right now and Southgate=$849, although the saleslady told me that both of these currently have a $90 discount which is unlisted. These both felt great and I spent more than half an hour laying on each to see if I could fall asleep. No sleep sadly, but that is probably due to music, being in public, and the lights. The Filmore seemed as if it would be ever so slightly better and I have contacted Southerland asking for details about the materials used in this mattress. I know that it is
46% Poly foam
46% poly fiber
8% visco elastic foam
Which does not mean a heck of a lot. This mattress has a 10 year warranty, and I know it is not going to be as good quality as the mattress from SleepEZ, however this one felt wonderful to me personally. I intend to try it at least once more (probably next Saturday unless family stuff gets in the way) prior to purchase as one of the few constant things in my looking has been that a mattress which I once enjoyed ends up feeling not good at a later point in time.

The salesman was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great chat after I told him that none of the mattresses were a good match for me. He was actually sort of complaining about the fact that his job is basically to make sure someone does not spend too little or too much on a mattress and that trying to talk someone to a lower price actually often catches people off guard whereas obviously people do not believe him when he tries to explain why the cheaper mattress is a bad match.
So now I am waiting for Southerland to get back to me about their mattress. I probably should check the forum to see if this mattress has been mentioned before…
