Hi,
Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge and expertise, though outside these regions, this is the 1st place I’ve found any talk of construction or materials and while that’s made me abandon my initial deadline, I appreciate the information and tutorials.
That said most of my personal attempts to request this kind of information have failed and I’m mostly seeing related post from 2013 in the forum.
Though far from optimal, my initial filter had ended up revolving around some significant sale prices and the hope that a single hybrid would be a safe bet between familiar springs and side-sleeping focused foam; having only owned the former and tested the latter in stores.
As such, I’m hoping I could at least potentially check for construction red-flags with the two mattress that discounted their way into the top of my short list.
The Octosmart-Plus-Hybrid promises a lot and some old post here support most of the construction quality, if not the full price, but a lot has changed with the company in the last 12 years and I now see some concerns about durability.
On sale at amazon for 321.00, but no trial/returns. The main site offers 200 nights, but costs 460.00 and will not speak about/support-for any other official outlets.
Despite hearing praise for it, I originally thought Latex might be out of my budget, but found the Sealy Advantage Waltham for 350.00, with a 100 night returns trial.
The branch I have access to hides that they’re part of an American mega-corporation and I see some suspicion about Sealy construction here, as well as the possibility that their patented posture springs may just be sales spin, to use open, rather than pocket springs. So paying more, just to have latex, may be a false economy.
I know no-one can just tell me if these are right for me, but maybe if they good, or good value mattress, or if anyone could speak to their materials or construction quality, that would be very much appreciated.
Thank you for any insight you can offer.
