Hi spinalfusion,
You can see some of my thoughts about Saatva in this thread.
Post #1 here has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines you will need to make the best possible mattress choices and is the place I would start.
I’m not sure where you are in Rhode Island but as you mention there are not a lot of great options there. Most of the better options I’m aware of would probably be included in the Boston list in post #2 here or in the Connecticut lists in post #2and #4 here.
If you let me know your specific city or zip I’d be happy to take a look to see if there may be any reasonable options or possibilities closer to where you are.
Phoenix
PS: I see that Lew already linked the Saatva thread while I was writing this … thanks Lew
