Hi jodebg,
Have you had the chance to read the tutorial post?
Outside of how well a mattress matches your specific needs and preferences in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences), a mattress is only as good as its construction and the quality of the materials inside it. A brand name on a label doesn’t say anything about what is inside any specific mattress that you may be considering.
OMF tends to use higher quality materials inside their mattresses compared to the major brands and if you are in one of the areas that they service they would usually make a higher quality choice but regardless of the manufacturer it’s always important to make sure you know what is inside any mattress you are considering so you can use the guidelines in the tutorial post to help you identify any weak links and make meaningful comparisons with other mattresses based on the criteria of your personal value equation that are most important to you. Every manufacturer makes higher and lower quality mattresses. Without knowing what is in a mattress it’s not possible to make any quality comparisons between them.
There are good quality and value mattresses available in most areas of the country and of course online. OMF is a regional manufacturer that services some areas of the country and not others but I would first look for some of the better options that are available locally or look at manufacturers that sell online that specialize in shipping their mattresses across the country using lower cost shipping methods because it probably wouldn’t be worth the high cost of common carrier to buy an OMF mattresses if you aren’t close enough to one of their stores to test it in person beforehand.
Once you get to step 3 in the tutorial I’d be happy to let you know of any of the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in your area and the tutorial post also includes links to some of the better online options I’m aware of.
