I’m not entirely sure of what you are asking here – Both mattresses are Custom Comfort offerings, so the ‘ballpark fair price’ would be whatever they actually charge. These are both made by Heritage but appear to be exclusive to Custom Comfort; if you are asking if these are worth the price, I can answer that… both mattresses seem to be premium priced. I have never tried either of them, but they seem to be well constructed but I do not see any info on the density of the polyfoam layer for the Magnolia or detailed info on the components of the Bodhi. This can indicate inexpensive materials or insufficient density, but that’s not necessarily the case here; Any mattress I see without details of the construction and materials used can be a red flag, These both have certiPUR cotton and Dunlop latex components, so they are likely fine and will be durable mattresses over time.

It really depends on how you feel: if you have tried these and feel they are personally comfortable for you, it comes down to what price you think is fair. I will say that beds similar to these are offered by the Trusted Membersof the site…if this construction is comfortable for you, you may want to look through their offerings as you could find a similar product for a lower price. These are all transparent in the construction and materials used and have excellent customer service; some may be able to match the ‘feel’ of the Magnolia or Bodhi if you tell them you liked them.

Neither are outrageously priced, but it comes down to a consumers’ budget and what they are looking for in a mattress and how it fits yourPersonal Value Equation as discussed in Phoenix’s post. Possibly some of our forum members who have used the Magnolia or Bodhi can also weigh in on their experiences.

Hope this helps,
