Decisions...Decisions...

Hi bear12677,

All of these use great quality materials in their budget range and are members of this site which means that I believe they are among the best quality/value in the country. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy any mattress that they made … provided I was confident it was suitable for my needs and preferences or what I call PPP (Pressure relief, Posture and alignment, and Personal preferences). Deciding this is either a matter of local testing on similar mattresses or a matter of more detailed conversations with each manufacturer so that they can help you make the choice that “on average” would be best for your body type and sleeping positions.

Once you have eliminated all the “worst” choices and are down to choices between “good and good” … then it’s time for me to step out of the way because nobody else can tell someone what is “best” for them or which parts of a mattress purchase are most important. I can’t tell you what to buy … only provide guidelines about how to choose. When you are down to final choices then personal preferences and all the objective, subjective, intangible, and even intuitive factors and options that are part of any mattress purchase (not just the mattress itself) and that are most important to you is the only way to know which one to choose based on your own “personal value equation”.

In your case I would narrow down your choices at each manufacturer to one. This may require more detailed conversations and asking lots of questions with a manufacturer where you are considering more than one of their mattresses. Next I would choose between memory foam and latex (and which material you want to sleep on for the next decade or more). Again … your more detailed conversations with each manufacturer, and especially your own local testing on similar mattresses and materials, will be your best guideline.

It’s great to be in a position where in terms of quality and value (which is all I can speak to) you really can’t make a mistake so your decision can focus on all the other factors such as the suitability of each design, the options and preferences which are most important, and your confidence that your final choice will be the best choice for you regardless of how you personally define “best”.
