Hi mojoman,
Unfortunately I can’t feel what you feel on a mattress and there are too many unknowns, variables, and personal preferences involved for me (or anyone) to make specific suggestions for someone else for either a specific company or a mattress based on specs (either yours or a mattress) or "theory at a distance (see mattress firmness/comfort levels in post #2 here).
“Brand shopping” is never the most effective approach to choosing a mattress because the specifics of a mattress are always more important than the name of the company that makes it (see post #5 here) and I would also be very cautious about using reviews (either positive or negative) as a meaningful source of guidance about which mattress is “best for you” (see post #13 here).
There is more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here that can help you make more meaningful comparisons between mattresses regardless of the name of the company but deciding on which mattress is “best for you” will always come down to …
- Testing for suitability and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences)
- Checking for the type and durability of the materials to make sure there are no weak links inside the mattress.
- Comparing for value based on all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
In most cases I would consider more than one option (or store) anyway so that you have more than one “finalist” to compare and choose between and as long as you can find out the specifics of the materials and components that are inside any of their mattresses you are considering then both of them would be well worth including in your testing and research.
