Hello. I’ve found the mattress underground to be a helpful resource, but have really been struggling with trying to buy a mattress for a long time now. I’d be really grateful for any advice you might have. I’m shopping for a king size for my husband and I. We are both side sleepers in our mid-40s with high body weights: 6’/250 lbs. and 5’7"/305 lbs. In addition to adequate support, motion isolation and edge support are important to us. We’d both say we tend to prefer to sleep on top of the mattress, as opposed to “in” the mattress. I’m considering the following two options, and would welcome any thoughts you might have regarding these two constructions. Thanks in advance for the help!
