Is this the mattress?
http://www.orthomattress.com/products/mattresses/ortho-tempered-ortho-tempered.cfm
They offer no clue about the construction, other than it's made with "Viscoelastic." I don't know why they capitalize viscoelastic, it's not a brand name but rather a description of a physical property of the foam - the foam is viscoelastic. Big deal, at least 12 companies manufacture visco foam in the U.S. alone. Lord knows how many Chinese companies are making it.
The price is certainly nice, but ask about the support foam, the density in particular. If it's 1.6 lb polyurethane, it won't last vary long. Some companies call this "high density" but it's not. PU foam has to be 2 lb density or higher before it can legitimately be called "high density." There are mattresses selling for even less that use better foam than that. Even Bedinabox uses better quality support foam.
Don't fall for the line "It's just as good...

Has anyone tried the Ortho tempered memory foam mattress? I was at Ortho mattress today and the store is selling 9" foams for $999 and 12" for $1499, compare to Tempur pedic's rhapsody 12" at $2699. I tried looking for the review but there just isn't much info I can find on the web. I just can't tell the difference by lying on it for 5 mins with the saleperson breathing down my neck. Quite frustrated buying a mattress...
please help!

Double tempered sounds a little gimmicky for pocket coils...technically you can only temper steel once. Sometimes interactive coils are listed as double tempered as the coils are tempered individually and then the whole innerspring system gets baked later on so that the helical wires and border wires, etc, can all be tempered as well. Higher gauge technically means thinner wire...perhaps they meant lower gauge but did not articulate this correctly. And I find it incredibly hard to believe that the coils are actually nested by hand if there is a foam encased edge. I would ask them how their coils are held together. If the fabric pockets themselves are glued together one to the next...then it isn't hand nested.
I tried doing some searching Jim and I couldn't find anything. Only a review on this website (or thread rather) and...

Ever hear of Summerhill and Bishchop by Ortho in Los Angeles? They say their pocket coils are double-tempered steel, higher gauge than Simmons and hand nested with high density foam along the edges creating a chamber within which the pocket coils are placed. Seems to me this might lend itself to mattress surgery but I'm not sure....

Do you have an Original Mattress Factory in your city? www.originalmattress.com They have 3 levels of innerspring mattresses with several levels of padding. The orthopedic firm has the strongest tempered coils (12 3/4 with 6 turns) and all their mattress are double sided. Their midlevel firm has more give in the coils and more to my comfort and liking than the hard orthopedic but both will provide years of service. Stay away from the entry level cheap ones--they are for children and guest rooms.
Since they are flippable mattresses, you will double your wear. They are very reasonably priced as well.
If you don't have these stores, the sealy coils and the strearns and foster are double tempered and therefore stronger; sealy has more per mattress but S & F have thicker gauge wire. If you choose a sealy, stay in the midrange where the queen is 14 gauge and over...

Beautyrest or alternatives, spinal fusion disc issues - npfd

Hi there,
I had a spinal fusion, top to bottom done in my early teens, now late 20s. I've been having disc degeneration issues in the lumbar area, and suggested to get a firm mattress.
I've been going to mattress stores for about a month now. First with the salesperson we settled on a firm memoryfoam, Sealy Soleil. After consulting a few mattress sites, some say that memory foam is not ideal for the problems i'm having. I realize this after that memory foam is hard for me to move and get up on.... Since then I've changed my order twice, haven't taken delivery yet.
I believe I've narrowed it to two models, budget allowing too....
Both double:
