Hi DanandKel,
The better options or possibilities I’m aware of in the Philadelphia/Wilmington/Trenton areas (subject to the guidelines here) are listed in post #4 here.
[quote]After searching around some more late last night we came across this mattress. My wife thinks this may be the one.

As you probably know from your reading here … Dreamfoam is one of the members of this site which means that I think very highly of them and I believe they compete well with the best in the industry.
Their Ultimate Dreams latex hybrid is certainly a great quality/value choice and you would also be just inside the range (low 200’s) where the 1.5 lb base foam would be suitable for you in a lower budget mattress as well. It uses blended Talalay latex in the comfort layers with a quilted cover that uses 1.5" of polyfoam and has a 6" 1.5 lb polyfoam support core underneath this. Of course with any online purchase I would make sure that you have a more detailed conversation with them so that they can help “talk you through” the firmness option that may be best for you in terms of PPP (see post #2 here). In king size they can also do a split layering where you have a different firmness level on each side of the mattress.
If you do decide to go in this direction it may be worthwhile ordering it from the Dreamfoam site because of the additional 10% discount (see their facebook page here) and because you would have the benefit of their 45 day comfort guarantee as well.
