Hi JohnE,
The Pure Latex Bliss Elegance is certainly a good local value for a 12" blended Talalay latex mattress at their current sale prices IMO. You may however find a latex mattress in the area that wasn’t quite as thick that was also very suitable for your needs and preferences that may be less.
The better options I’m aware of in the San Diego area are in post #2 here. I would spend some time on the phone first talking with the various options you have (and telling them about the PLB Elegance) to see if they have anything comparable that you would want to test.
