Help for a grad student on a budget and time crunch

Hi just1chancefree,

These four seem to be good options to consider and I will try to find time to contact them tomorrow. What do you think of the Sealy memory foam lines that costco carries? (we have costoco membership but not sams) I think the “Cooltwist gel” 12" memory foam for 499 seems decent, but I can’t seem to find info on the density of the foam.

As you can see in the guidelines here … I would avoid Sealy or any manufacturer where you aren’t able to find out the quality of what is inside it (and Sealy doesn’t provide this).

I did find that the 14" LUCID® by Linenspa uses 5.3lb foam in the top layer, but I think it’s still 3lb in the support layer. Are you down on LUCID primarily because it’s from overseas and produced to using poorer standards?

You can see the guidelines I use for memory foam mattresses in post #10 here. If they are made offshore and they have CertiPur certification then they would meet the guidelines (as long as they are around 4 lbs or higher density). There are some good foams that come from China and a lot of cheap junk

3" of 3 lb memory foam would be a “weak link” I wouldn’t consider.
