[quote=“Phoenix” post=47244]Hi Looking for a bed,
Just in case you haven’t read it yet … the first place to 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 choices … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.
There is also more information in post #3 here and the posts it links to that will be helpful for those in higher weight ranges.
You can see my thoughts about Bedinabox in post #2 here. I would normally tend to avoid 3 lb memory foam in any weight range but with your much higher weight it would be even more important to use higher quality/density materials in your mattress.
The better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Northern Virginia area (subject to the guidelines here) are listed in post #2 here.

Thanks for your help!
I’m going to try and visit the Healthy Back store which is a little bit closer than the rest. I want to try out their Pure Latex Bliss beds as well as their “Gel” beds. If I liked the Healthy Back Bliss Pristine Pure Latex, I wouldn’t mind buying it, but the price on their website for a queen bed seems a lot more than it should be. I’m not sure how much the average worker in their stores know compared to their headquarter experts.
From there I’m going to visit Urban Mattress and American Foam Center which are also close enough. My hope is that the place that has the bed I want also has a financing option I can work with.
