Hi avs,
Welcome back 
That’s great news … and it certainly solves the problem and lets you start all over again with a clean slate.
You’ve probably read it already but it would probably be a good idea to re-read the tutorial post here as a starting point. It includes all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible choices … and know how to avoid the worst ones (including any of the major brands such as Simmons or any mattress where you can’t find out the quality of all the materials inside it).
I think very highly of Dan and Baybeds and they are one of the members of this site which means I believe they compete well with the best in the country in terms of quality value and service. They are completely transparent and use all high quality materials in their mattresses and can change out any of the latex or innerspring components so you can fine tune it to your specific needs and preferences either before or after a purchase.
The better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Greater Los Angeles area are listed in post #2 here.
I’m looking forward to your feedback and finding out what you end up choosing.
Phoenix
