I used to buy mine at Montgomery Ward, but they went out of business. When I went into the discount mattress places, the salesmen frightened me--very oily.
Yes, Phil tells the truth--there is no way to compare, as they use the "confuse the hell out of the customer by having no uniformity of models" approach--except that maybe it's worth checking to see if Consumer Reports might have a chart comparing the different models made for different stores.
So, I used to wait for a sale at Wards and then go test the mattresses out. Except that they have since gone out of business!
I would love a new mattress--mine is lumpy already. Last year, I stayed in a hotel that had the most delicious mattress! It was very very firm, but soooooo comfortable! One my way out I overheard another guest talking about how comfortable the mattress was, too! I have half a mind to call up the hotel and find out how I can order one.
