Hi kayce,
Two of the most important links in the tutorial that I would especially make sure you read are post #2 here which has more about the different ways to choose a suitable mattress (either locally or online) that is the best “match” for you in terms of “comfort” and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) that can help you assess and minimize the risks of making a choice that doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for and post #13 here which has more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists (based on all the parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you).
If you are looking at online purchases then the tutorial includes several links to lists of the better online options I’m aware of (in the optional online step) that include a very wide range of mattresses in a wide range of budgets. You can also read more about the “simplified choice” group of mattresses (which includes Saatva) in posts #1 and #2 of this topic.
If you let me know your city or zip code I’d also be happy to let you know about any of the better options or possibilities I’m aware of that are in your area.
