when i visited them today they said if i was looking for a less expensive memory foam they offer the “eclipse” line on their web site link is here:

http://www.mattressfirm.com/Eclipse_Ultra_Deluxe_13_Gel_Memory_Foam_Mattress-P406.aspx

they said this was a excellent one for the money but it is not a store stocked item so i would have to order it from the web site and deal with them if i want to return it. any thoughts on this one?

the specs are:

Hi Th3Drizzle,

You can see some comments about Mattress Development Co (which owns the Eclipse brand) in post #2 here.

The top 3" of memory foam are medium quality/density (@ 4 lb) and the 1" of 7 lb memory foam is a good quality/density material but I would want to know the density of the 2" transition foam and the density of the 7" base layer as well (especially the 2" transition foam). If you can find these out and post them on the forum I’d be happy to make some additional comments.

If you can’t test this mattress in person then if I was making this purchase I would also want to know the options you have after a purchase to either exchange or return the mattress if your sleeping experience indicates that it isn’t a suitable choice for you.
