Hi paulfranco89,
While you are the only one that can decide whether a mattress is “comfortable” or is a good “match” for you in terms of PPP based on your testing or personal experience … outside of PPP the most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability and the durability and useful life of a mattress depends on its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label (if two mattresses use equally durable materials then the mattress will also be just as durable).

If you can find out the specifics of all the layers and components in the mattress and post them on the forum (see this article) then I’d certainly be happy to make some comments about the quality and durability of the layers inside it and help you compare them to the quality/durability guidelines here so you can make sure there are no lower quality or less durable materials that would be a “weak link” in the mattress.

Hi Phoenix,

Thanks so much for your help! I am going back in to the store today and will see if they can comment on the memory foam material and density. I am really hoping to make the mattress purchase today, is there a certain minimum density for the material that you’d recommend by any chance, or is it dependent on the material?
