Hi, I’m looking to get a really good quality innerspring mattress to go with a soft, latex topper to create my bed. I’m not sure where to start, as mattress stores & salesmen aren’t too helpful. From reading things here and elsewhere, I do understand the basic ‘concepts’. Just need to translate that to real products.
Here’s some things I’m looking for:
- - Queen size
- - As minimal of included padding as possible, as I’ll be using a latex topper for cushioning (I’m assuming 3" soft should be OK here?). This seems to be the toughest issue.
- - Really good quality innersprings (pocketed coil?)
- - I need really good support, as am a side sleeper and have bad back. I don’t know if it is automatically considered ‘firm’ if I get minimal foam?!? I’m also pretty thin/light, though, and I do need ample padding as I get pressure-point pain (topper should do this, right?)
- - I live in SoCal (LA) in case I need to be able to pick-up or have delivered
- - I’m open to local/non-major brands if they have great reputation and quality standards
- - I would like a good warranty and company that stands behind product
[li]- I’m hoping since it will be fairly basic I might be able to stay under $1000 (closer to $700 would be amazing). Don’t need the best-of-the-best here, just good quality support.
I appreciate any help or direction on where to look. Thanks a lot!
