Hi Gdhl8,
As you’ve probably read … I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to buy a mattress where you can’t find out the quality details of all the layers in the mattress. I think blind purchases that are forced on consumers are probably the leading cause of the confusion and frustration that is involved in mattress shopping.
I think that they make good quality and value mattresses and they are transparent about what they put in their mattresses as well. I include them in every local list of better options or possibilities whenever they have an store in the area. They make two latex mattresses, a memory foam mattress, and a range of innerspring mattresses that all use good quality materials and construction in their budget range.
If you let me know your zip or city I’d be happy to let you know of any possibilities in your area that I’m aware of (or can find with some research if it isn’t already in one of the forum lists). Regions are too large an area for me to look at. I’m not sure how far away you are but post #2 here has the better options in the South Central Minnesota / Minneapolis area I’m aware of.
As you probably know I think highly of the quality of the materials that Select Foam uses in their mattresses and on the care they have taken to match them to the Tempurpedic line in both the design and quality of the layering and in the feel of the mattresses. Some of the other online memory foam options that I would consider to be good value are listed in post #12 here.
