After researching the new memory foam, Purple, and all those, I ended up going with a Simmons Beauty Rest "Callista" Extra-Firm mattress. I've been sleeping on it for about 18 mos. now and love it.
Simmons Beauty Rest is going to be my next mattress. There is an independent sleep shop store next town over from me, and all they sell is beds. They told me their top seller is Beauty Rest. I tried a plush, and I did not want to get up! I tried many others from lots of different retailers, and my wife and I agreed the Beauty Rest was the best.
I guess the encased pocket coils they are using on the Beauty Rest is what makes the difference. Only thing I had a problem with is that it's single sided.
