I recently bought a clearance mattress at Sleepys, it was way too soft, and now Sleepy's is offering up to an 80% discount if I buy another.  This is not an ideal scenario, but seeing the situation I got myself in I feel a bit fortunate they are willing to work with me since their policy states NO returns or exchanges on clearance items.  With that said, if I had bought a regular model it would cost $250 for their comfort exchange...again, less than ideal, but if I end up spending $200-$300 to replace my mattress, I won't be much worse off than I would have with their comfort exchange on a non clearance item.  Additionally, I might be able to keep the first one I bought, which could be used as a great guest bed or for a friend or relative.

ONTO MY PURCHASE:

I have a $1,200 budget (assuming 80% off, I can stomach the cost)

I am a stomach sleeper.  I have lower back and sciatic issues.  I get about 5-6 hours of sleep these days because my mattress is horrible, and my back pain makes it very difficult to get comfortable and stay comfortable throught the night.

I could REALLY use some assistance if anybody thinks they can help.  I've read online reviews and advice till I turned crosseyed.  I spent two full days browsing mattress stores. I still feel clueless, and possibly more confused than when I started the process in the first place.

Given Sleep's options, I was leaning towards  Simmons Beautyrest, in somewhat of a cushion firm model.  It was about $1,200 in the store when I was first there, so that's sort of where my thoughts are now.  But I have been reading a lot of reviews about the Beautyrests that say they sag after about 6-8 months, and with my back pain I just can't deal with that.  But at the same time most people with positive reviews are not going to go online, so I'm hoping somebody can help cut through all the varying opinions and provide some sound direction.

I have to note that the following brands are not eligible for this deal they are offering me: Sterns & Foster, Tempurpedic, Comfortpedic, and TruForm.  All other brands at Sleep's are on the table.
