Hi Dmill,
Just in case you haven’t read it yet … the first place I would start your research is the mattress shopping tutorial here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible choice … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.
Two of the more important links in the tutorial that I would especially make sure you’ve read are post #2 here which has more about the different ways to buy a suitable mattress that is the best “match” for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) that can help you assess and minimize the risks of making a choice that doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for that are involved in each of them and post #13 here which has more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase which can help you make more meaningful comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability, durability, and value.
The first part of post #2 here has more information about some of the different ways that can help accommodate couples with different needs and preferences or body types.
Tempurpedic is a major brand that is widely available across the country and is very heavily advertised and promoted. For the most part they good quality materials in their mattresses but they are in a much higher budget range than other similar memory foam mattresses that also use good quality materials and are in much lower budget ranges and for most people they wouldn’t be the best value choice. You can read a little more about them in post #10 here. I would tend to avoid the major brands such as Tempurpedic and Simmons (see the guidelines here).
You can read more about Bed Boss and some of the other manufacturers that use the same Chinese foam manufacturer in post #2 here and a forum search on Bed Boss (you can just click the link) will bring up more information and feedback about them as well. Some of their mattresses use lower quality memory foam than I would be comfortable with so I would make sure that you can find out the quality/density of all the layers in any Bed Boss mattress you are considering.
Latex is certainly a high quality material but it is also very different from memory foam. There is more about the differences between them in post #2 here but like any preference choice the best way to know which type of material you tend to prefer will be based on your own personal testing.
The better options or possibilities I’m aware of in the Pensacola area (subject to the quality/value guidelines I linked earlier) are listed in post #365 here and there are several that carry latex mattresses (although I would call them first to make sure that they have latex mattresses on their showroom floor that you can test).
