Hi jmp310,
Welcome to the Mattress Forum! 
Thank you for the synopsis of your mattress buying experience, and I’m glad that you found us before making your final purchase decision, hopefully using some of the advice presented in the mattress shopping tutorial. You post points out some of the pitfalls to avoid when shopping for a mattress, such as not knowing specifications, relying upon reviews, or putting down deposits on products before you had complete information and had considered all of your other options.
And congratulations on our new mattress! :cheer: You certainly chose a product using good quality materials, and as you’re aware, Nest Bedding is a member here of the site, which means that I think highly of them.
I’m looking forward to your future updates.
Phoenix
