Worldgirl! Thanks for taking the time to post again.
I just sent a post to Phoenix under a new topic here which would fill you in on where I’m at right now, but probably nothing there that would be much help to you at this point - sorry. Other than this “lovely” experience at MattressMattress, I haven’t had much time to do any more looking.
I’m glad you’re getting closer to finding something. Halstead seems like it may be a good option. Even though the price is on the higher side, it seems like pretty good value for something that’s customized. I’ve also wondered about the discrepancy in reviews on them. It may be worthwhile to just ask him straight up about what you’ve read and see what he says.
When you say “40 core” and “20 insert” - are those the ILD #s?
