Hi bagglady25,
Subject to first confirming that any retailer or manufacturer on the list that you wish to visit is completely transparent (see this article) and to making sure that any mattress you are considering meets the quality/value guidelines here … the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in and around the Houston area are listed in post #2 here.
I would encourage you to pay less attention to the more subjective “feel” of a mattress (your body can’t feel a mattress when you are sleeping) and put most of your focus on whether a mattress will keep your spine and joints in good alignment and provide good pressure relief in all your sleeping positions over the course of the night. These are the two most important functions of any mattress and will make a much bigger difference in how well you sleep and your body’s ability to rest and recover and how you will feel when you are awake as well. What you “need” is always more important than what you may “prefer” although of course it’s always great to have both
