Hi frederixx,
[quote]Also, what do you think of this mattress : www.costco.ca/Humber-Bridge-Queen-Mattre…oduct.100042683.html
I can get it new for half price! It looks good on paper, but i can’t find any reviews (for what it’s worth anyway) and can’t return it if i buy it.[/quote]
Reviews won’t provide you with any meaningful information anyway (and in many cases can be more misleading than helpful) so the lack of reviews shouldn’t make any difference in your decision (see post #13 here).
I’m not clear why you wouldn’t be able to return it since Costco normally has a great return policy. Would you be buying this from Costco?
If you can’t test a mattress in person then you would need to sleep on it to know whether it would be a good match for you in terms of PPP (and if you aren’t certain then once again I would make sure that you have good exchange/return options after a purchase) but I can make some comments about the quality and durability of the materials if you can provide all the information listed in this article and post it on the forum.
The information that is missing from the Costco description is the blend of Talalay latex they are using (although either way it would be a good quality and durable material) and the density of the base polyfoam layer.
Once you know this then you can confirm that there are no weak links in the mattress and make more meaningful comparisons to any other finalists you are considering (either local or online).
Since you are looking at both memory foam and latex I would probably decide which of these materials you tend to prefer before making a purchase because they are very different materials. There is more about how memory foam compares to latex in post #2 here but your local testing will be the most reliable way to know which one you prefer.
