Hi KMcollies,
The first place I would start your research is the tutorial post here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines you will need to make the best possible choices … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.
I would also treat the purchase of a mattress (or two twin XL mattresses) and an adjustable bed as two separate purchases and I would start with choosing the mattress(es). A mattress is much more personal choice and involves more research and effort to find the mattress that is the best match for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) and the parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you. Once you have found a mattress that works on an adjustable bed then an adjustable bed can be purchased at any retailer and is more of a “features vs price” purchase. There is more about buying an adjustable bed in post #3 here and the adjustable bed thread it links to which includes some retailers that I use as a “value” reference (including Richmond Bedding).
You can see my thoughts about the OMF Serenity latex mattress in post #2 here and in post #3 here. It would certainly be a good quality/value choice and would be well worth considering as one of your finalists if it’s a good match for you in terms of PPP. I would also be aware that OMF puts their mattresses on a “working” box spring which would change the feel and performance of the mattress vs a solid non flexing support system such a non flexing foundation or an adjustable bed so I would make sure you test it on an adjustable bed instead of the box spring since that’s what you would be using it on.

I think the adjustable bed thread and my previous comments cover these and should help you find the adjustable bed that is the best value for the features that are important to you.
This would depend on how the specific mattress you were considering there compared to your other finalists in terms of PPP, the quality of the materials, and the other parts of your personal value equation that are important to you.
The tutorial post also includes links to some of the better online mattress retailers and manufacturers I’m aware of and if you let me know your city or zip code I’d also be happy to let you know of any of the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in your area.
