Hi redcoat,
I’m sorry to hear that your mattress isn’t working out as well as you hoped for but it may be a blessing in disguise because the Novaform mattresses don’t meet the quality/durability guidelines that I would normally suggest that I linked in my previous reply. The good news is that Costco has a great return policy.
The tutorial includes a link to a list of the better online memory foam options I’m aware of (in the optional online step) but when you can’t test a mattress in person then the most reliable source of guidance is always a more detailed phone conversation with a knowledgeable and experienced retailer or manufacturer that has your best interests at heart and who can help “talk you through” the specifics of their mattresses and the properties and “feel” of the materials they are using (fast or slow response, resilience, firmness etc) and the options they have available that may be the best “match” for you based on the information you provide them, any local testing you have done or mattresses you have slept on and liked or other mattresses you are considering that they are familiar with, and the “averages” of other customers that are similar to you. They will know more about “matching” their specific mattress designs and firmness levels to different body types, sleeping positions, and preferences (or to other mattresses that they are familiar with) than anyone else.
There are also some comments about all of the mattresses you mentioned in post #2 here in the simplified mattress topic and post #1 in the same topic would be well worth reading as well.
Since the only way to know for certain or confirm whether any mattress will be a good “match” for you in terms of comfort, firmness, and PPP or how it will compare to another mattress will be based on your own personal experience … if you aren’t confident that an online mattress will be a good match for you then the options you have available after a purchase to exchange or return the mattress for a refund would become a much more important part of the “value” of an online mattress purchase so I would also make sure you are comfortable with the exchange/return options that are available and any costs involved “just in case” and in spite of the “best efforts” of everyone involved (both you and the retailer you are buying from), the mattress doesn’t turn out to be as suitable a choice as you hoped for.
The good news is that all of the options you are looking at have a great return policy that allows you to return the mattress at no cost if it doesn’t work out for you.
All of the manufacturers you mentioned are also members of this site which means that I think highly of them and that I believe they compete well with the best in the industry in terms or their quality, value, service, knowledge, and transparency.
There are some comments about Addable in post #2 here in the simplified choice mattress topic. They would certainly be suitable for someone in more “average” weight ranges but I would be cautious for those that are in higher weight ranges. The “matchmaker” on their site along with a conversation will tell you if it’s a suitable choice in your weight range.
Mattress warranties only cover manufacturing defects and they don’t cover the gradual (or more rapid in the case of lower quality comfort layers) loss of comfort and support that comes from foam softening that is the main reason that most people will need to replace their mattress. In other words the length of mattress warranties have little to nothing to do with the durability or useful life of a mattress or how long it will be until you need to buy a new mattress. If there is an actual defect in the materials it will usually show up early in the life of the mattress (usually in the first year or two) but knowing the quality/density and durability of the materials in your mattress is always a much more reliable way to assess the relative durability and useful life of a mattress than the length of a warranty. There is more about mattress warranties in post #174 here.
The BestMattressEver uses high quality materials and there are no lower quality materials or weak links in the mattress relative to any weight range that would be a cause for concern in terms of the durability or useful life of the mattress.
Having said that … the comfort layers in this mattress are latex rather than memory foam. Latex and memory foam are very different materials with very different properties but the choice between them is more of a preference and budget choice than a “better/worse” choice. There is more about some of the differences between memory foam and latex in post #2 here but the best way to know which type of materials or mattresses you tend to prefer in general would be based on your own testing and/or personal experience. It certainly won’t be anything like your old Tempurpedic mattress.
This mattress also uses high quality materials that would be suitable for any weight range. Latex can be a very pressure relieving material in a suitable firmness level but once again the only way to know for certain whether any mattress will be a suitable “match” for you in terms of comfort, firmness, and PPP will be based on your own personal experience. It comes in different firmness levels so once again if you do decide to purchase this mattress I would make sure you talk to them to find out which firmness level would have the best chance of success. My comments about latex vs memory foam would apply here as well.
This would be a more traditional memory foam mattress and like the others would be a good quality/value choice as well. They also have a great return policy but once again they would be the best source of guidance about which of their firmness levels would be closest to your old Tempurpedic.
It seems to me that your next step would be to decide whether to choose a mattress with memory foam comfort layers (like your old Tempurpedic) or with latex comfort layers. This would cut your finalists in half.
Once you have narrowed down your options to a list of finalists that are all choices between “good and good” and you have confirmed that none of them have any lower quality materials or “weak links” in their design relative to your weight range and if at this point there are no clear winners between them (which is usually a good indication that you have done some good research) then you are in the fortunate position that any of them would likely be a suitable choice and post #2 here can help you make a final choice based on your local testing or mattresses you have slept well on, your more detailed conversations with each of them, your confidence about PPP and the suitability of each one, their prices, your preferences for different types of materials, the options you have after a purchase to fine tune the mattress or exchange or return the mattress or individual layers, any additional extras that are part of each purchase, and on “informed best judgement” based on all the other objective, subjective, and intangible parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
