Shopping for a new mattress

Greetings! My husband and I have started looking for a new mattress. We are members of Costco and have seen Stearns and Foster and Serta mattresses there for around $1000. I have been reading the posts on this site and now know not to shop by brand but by materials. Makes sense to me but where do I start. My husband is a back and stomach sleeper and I’m a side sleeper. Our current set is a firm mattress and box springs purchased about 10 years ago from Mattress Firm. I use a wool mattress topper and would like to continue doing so. Your expertise is appreciated!

Hi RabbitCreek,

The first place I would start is the tutorial post here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that will be help you make the best possible choice.

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.
