Thank you for the response!
I am posting here after I went to Sears and tried a few of their Sealy beds and I just am now afraid that a lot of beds don’t have endurance after reading your in depth mattress information. I am strongly looking at latex beds but wow are they expensive!
Have you heard anything about European Sleep Works? http://www.sleepworks.com/mattresses
I’m looking at this one: Latex vs. coils: both offer comfort advantages - European Sleep Works even though it’s nearly twice as much as I wanted to spend. I really would prefer to get a quality bed that lasts 10 plus years AND that doesn’t hurt me. I wake up in pain daily, back, shoulder, and neck primarily. It’s really killing me.
Here’s another cheaper one that still looks high quality: Alpine Classic | Berkeley CA | European Sleep Works
If you know anything about these types of mattresses then I take a jaunt over and try them out and get some advice from them. I think basically I don’t trust sales people in general and after reading your information I trust mattress sales people even less. For me I don’t know a lot about mattresses but I’m afraid of being “sold” on a crappy mattress.
Do you suggest getting a mattress with an excellent return policy/long warranty? Would that be a good identifier of a quality mattress and mattress store?
I am in the East Bay on Northern California if you have recommendations other than Sleep Works that would be wonderful.
EDIT: I found a similar discussion for those looking here:https://forum.mattressunderground.com/t/hello-from-sf-bay-area
I will post if I go to Sleep Works with my results.
