Hi GIGmatty,
Thanks for letting us know what you ended up deciding … and congratulations on your new mattress
Memory foam is generally less costly than latex but it’s also good to hear that you did some local testing to check your original criteria (which included microcoils and latex) to find out that you preferred a memory foam/pocket coil hybrid vs a latex/pocket coil hybrid or a hybrid that included microcoils.
Truer words were never spoken … and this is one of the reasons that I suggest avoiding mattress reviews or other people’s experience on a mattress (either positive or negative) as a reliable way to assess whether the same mattress will be a good choice for any particular person in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP (see post #13 here) because different people can have very different experiences on the same mattress.
Thanks again for your comments and feedback
