Read through all the posts - information overload - just need some quick analysis/comments

Hi robromo,

The better options and possibilities I’m aware of that are closest to you would be in the Northern New Jersey list in post #7 here and in the list for the New York City region in post #2 here (they have a fair bit of overlap).

This would depend entirely on your personal preferences about whether you preferred latex comfort layers or polyfoam comfort layers. Latex is a higher quality and more durable material than polyfoam but it’s also more costly.

Some of the Dreamfoam latex hybrids allow you to choose the firmness of the latex comfort layer(s) before a purchase but are “finished mattresses” so you can’t exchange the latex for a different firmness level after the purchase and some of them have exchangeable comfort layers that allow you to choose your comfort level before a purchase and also exchange it for a different firmness after a purchase as well if necessary but these are also more costly.

These types of comparisons between different types of mattresses are really apples to oranges comparisons and would depend on the materials you prefer, the budget range you are comfortable with, and the parts of your personal value equation (including the price of the mattress, your ability to customize a mattress before and/or after a purchase, and any return or exchange policies) that are most important to you.

There are certainly no bad choices between them and all of their mattresses are great “quality/value” in their budget ranges but only you can decide which mattress purchase has all the elements that make it the best choice and “value” for you.
