Hi vaughn,
I would want to know the specs of any mattress I purchased yes (see post #4 here) so you can make more meaningful comparisons with other mattresses (including in the same store) but if I was “forced” to make a blind purchase I would rather make it from a reputable local manufacturer than a chain store or major brand because the odds are much higher that the quality would be better in every budget range but I don’t think you will have to make a “blind” purchase.
The default setting for the forum search is to go back 1 year but you can also change the “find posts from” setting to “any date” and it will search all the way back to the beginning of the forum. The Saskatchewan post was originally posted in Sept, 2011 (although it’s been updated since then) so the default search wouldn’t bring it up.
