Hi aggravatingmike,
Post #13 here has more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase. There is no such thing as the best mattress for everyone because each person’s criteria and preferences are different … but the “best mattress for you” is the one that is the best match for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences), uses the highest quality and most durable materials, and compares well to all your other finalists based on all the parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
Post #2 here has more about an all latex mattress vs a latex/polyfoam hybrid.
There is also more about Flobeds vZone in post #4 here.
I would also make sure you’ve read the mattress shopping tutorial here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that you will need to make the best possible choices.
