Greetings,
I am looking for recommendations for a medium to medium firm mattress in the New York City area with a showroom. I am mostly a side and back sleeper, 5’10" and 180 pounds, and will be sharing it with someone that is 5’4" and about 120 pounds. We both prefer hybrid or spring mattresses instead of pure foam or latex.
From reading this forum and Reddit, it seems that Stearns and Foster may not be the best value for my money but has been the most comfortable choice I have tried in a Mattress Firm and PC Richard.
Are there any other mattresses that you could possibly recommend? I am planning on visiting showrooms to try out the Saatva Classic, WinkBed, Helix Midnight, and Avocado Green. Are any of these highly recommended here? Are any of them red flags?
I understand that there are trusted retailers but I personally need to try a bed out in person for at least a few minutes to commit to such an investment.
I was even considering the Kirkland Stearns brand from Costco since it seems similar and half the price as the Rockwell: https://www.costco.com/kirkland-signature-by-stearns-%2526-foster-14.5"-lakeridge-mattress.product.100541532.html
I also plan on getting an adjustable base but I still need to do more research on what would be a good choice for that.
My price range is roughly under $2,500 and can qualify for first responder discounts if any are available.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
