Hi Phoenix,
Love the site - have read a ton and have learned so much over the last few weeks. We live in Madison, WI, and based on your recommendation, we traveled down to Beloit to visit the Beloit Mattress Co.
Quick background - ~5 years ago we bought a Serta pillow top. No idea what is in it, but after only 1-2 years body impressions were quite evident. We are now interested in upgrading to a King and wanted to make sure we get a quality mattress.
I’m 5’9’‘, 175 lbs, and my wife is 5’2’', 115 lbs. We both toss and turn all night (due to the uncomfortable mattress), so at least now we both are side, back and stomach sleepers.
Visiting Beloit Mattress, we found two that feel good to us:
- Easy Rest Classic Hybrid
Build Specifications
Innerspring:
850 “Comfort Core ™” Pocketed Coil Spring System
15-gauge, 7 turn coil
Encased in 2.7 pound density foam for a firm durable edge
Comfort Layers:
Upholstered with:
Center ⅓ ¼ inch 1.8 pound density foam pad
¾ inch 1.8 pound density foam pad
1 inch 24 ILD Talalay Latex
1 inch G-Flex™ gel infused foam (I believe this is 4 lbs/sq ft)
Uniquely tailored smooth Airtex™ cover
$1,299
- Build Specifications
Foam Core:
6 inch Talalay Latex core
36 ILD medium firm
Encased in 2.7 pound density 65 ILD foam for a firm durable edge
Comfort Layers:
Upholstered with:
3 inch “G-Flex” 4 pound density Gel foam
Uniquely tailored smooth Airtex™ cover

We felt both felt really good, and are leaning towards the innerspring one as they felt very similar and its hard to convince ourselves to pay ~$1K more for the latex one.
Thoughts? Do you see any weak points on either of them?
Thanks!
Mike
