Welcome to our Mattress Forum! 
[quote]Does anyone have any experience with this brand and/or can offer insight with these mattresses?

I recognize that you are somehow “trapped” by your very low budget but even so, I would consider my alternatives carefully. I agree that the two mattresses you listed most likely have durability/sagging issues
• True North Huron Eurotop uses continuous coils for its support layer. Which means that coils are made from one long wire. While it can have some motion transfer issues for partner sleeping it could be a decent option for those on a low budget. The Pisa Eurotop uses pocket coils instead (which are much better when it comes to motion isolation.
• The Brick does not provide any of the specifications that would allow assessing these products to determine if there any weak links in terms of durability. Huron uses gel infused foam and egg-crate-shaped soy-based foam (unknown density and thickness) The downside of convoluted foam that has “peaks and valleys” is that it is often a less durable material compared to the same type or density of material in a solid non-convoluted layer. With higher quality foams such as latex this wouldn’t be a durability issue but with lower quality/density foams such as polyfoam or memory foam that are already in the minimum density range that I would consider it certainly could be (especially in the upper layers of a mattress vs the deeper layers of a mattress). They don’t list the specs of their Pisa or Huron, nor how much or little “cheap” polyfoam on top but they should be able to give you the specs of the layers of each. If you post them here I’d be happy to give you my opinion as to which may work best for you.
Typically, the weak link of a mattress is almost always in the use of low-quality materials in the comfort layers and if you don’t know the specifics of what is inside your mattress you have no way to identify any weak links in the mattress or make meaningful comparisons with other mattresses. When assessing any product, also be sure that you find out information listed here so you can compare the quality of the materials and components to the durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.
Generally giving into a sense of urgency because of “sales” may do more harm than good when it comes to suitability. Sales come and go and in my opinion, many of them are mostly fake and are about the illusion of saving money than they are about reality. While it’s not possible to make a blanket statement about sales because each retailer or manufacturer can be different, I would look at huge discounts as a red flag because manufacturers or retailers that sell good quality/value mattresses don’t need to negotiate or have “fake sales” to create a false sense of urgency and they generally sell good quality/value mattresses every day of the year at prices that are already very reasonable.
The first suggestion I would have is to start with the tutorial post here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines you will need to make the best possible choices … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones which would include the major brands such as Serta or any mattress where you aren’t able to find out the quality of the materials inside it.
While you are heavily limited by your budget, the only other advice I would give is not to be rushed into what you choose for the sake of sales and to look carefully at the suitability in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your Personal preferences) or how durable it will be compared to many mattresses in lower budget ranges.
I wish I could give you better news and/or guidance but unfortunately, I don’t see many options with what they offer in this price range

Thank you for that! I’m not sure how to find out the specifications of the mattress, as requested, but I am wary of cheap materials being used in mattresses. What would be a decent price to purchase a decent mattress at? One that will be durable? I often read up online reviews/customers’ experiences and even then, I’m not too certain about them. I dug around a bit and found something from Costco…I’m not sure if it’s decent.
Would spending $500, depending on mattress brand/materials used, if they’re decent materials, be a good purchase? I don’t want to go $600 for a mattress either.
