Sandman, I have been thinking the same thing. Got money for a startup? I don't. But they're probably aren't enough people who would buy it. And, it would cost more to send back if...

Hey, I was paying attention, how about that?!  Anyway, the Signature line as I recall from all of my investigations, has the offset coils like mine does!  As a matter of fact, the Signature line was the closest to the hotel bed I slept on that I loved. 
I think you are in the misery boat that only mattress surgery will solve. 
First, if you have a King, you don't have to do both sides at first(unless your partner is unhappy too...).  I'd still open up the mattress(I used an Exacto knife)on three sides, leaving the head side intact.  I cut right below the piping.  A king is the size of two twins, so when I chose to experiment I got twin sized pieces(just wrestling with ONE king sized piece of 2" latex to try to return it was enough to convince me of that).  I'm going to hazzard a...

Considering what you've said so far about the desired firmness of your mattress, the Costco bed will almost certainly be way too soft for you.  Except for 3-4", there are some pretty soft layers in there - even for Dunop.

Here is a quote from the product description:  "Sleep Science Softness Scale – Soft/Medium on one side and Medium on the other"...

Actually I do have money for a startup if I thought it would be profitable, and I live in Socal as well.  Yeah, the returns would probably be a killer.  Although, every store has to deal with that issue.   However a local store where people can try in advance would help. 

I just stopped by Macy's to lay on some innerspring.  The higher spring count Sealy (780 queen?) defiinitely felt more supportive than the 730 coil count.  Same guage.  I don't think the firm had too much foam/padding. Felt pretty good.   I also like the Simmons extra firm.  I think that has 900+ pocketed coil of 13.25 guage.  Slightly firmer feel than the Sealy. The salesman could not tell me the extra amount of inches of stuff on top of the Simmons, but I may be able to research both at US Mattress.  Not sure how well the pocketed coils hold up, but...

The cheapest Sealy's have 12.75 guage and 420 springs in the Queen.  One step up to the preferred has 14 guage and 736 springs.  Not sure which is better, but since they put more thinner ones in their top of the line, they are implying that that should be better.  How they tie the springs together will affect the firmness as well. 

 Not sure it would make a huge difference.  What you put on top is probably more important.

Why doesn't someone market an innerspring with good coils and a zipper top, so you can add/replace/customize the foam?  Seems like an obvious niche.  Maybe someone is doing it and I am not aware of it....

"Double tempered posturized heavy-duty 12 3/4 ga. double offset 6 turn coils..." NICE. that trumps sealy's (on paper anyway). queen starting at $439, and I think that price is for the lilly, but i see you went with the Malibu?  I take it they like others have multiple names for the same mattress, or you just have to go by the number (i.e. "1180" etc.)?  hopefully i'll find some in a b&m showroom somewhere.  i just really don't want to buy a big mattress online, shipping etc.  ideally take it home myself in my truck.

thanks j.s.c.!...

thanks.  all i've read on signature's "posturetech coils with posture channels"(beyond marketing jargon) is that they're14gauge 5 1/2" tall hourglass coils with a sensory arm.  i understand offset is the more expensive/preferred type of hourglass coil, so they may very well be that.  Apparently sealy also has one called "triple offset coils" whose construction they break down in greater detail, but haven't found any models outside the uk with them (& i see they are in your sealy hotel bed!). 

Either way, i trust you when you say my springs are still good long after the foam's tiny bubbles have ruptured- but i'm still not fixing this one.  (here we go):  i sleep diagonally, which is fine until the sink in the middle gets too bad.  at that point i'm sleeping (vertically) on the very edges of my bed where it's still actually firm, but have to put a chest at the end of it with blanket & pillow on top as a sort of bed extender (ridiculous!) for my feet.  if i wake...

Where I am getting confused is the Tempurpedic bed we had had the "HD" foam on top - it was only 1.2-inches but it is listed as being 7# foam. Maybe the Sealy and the TP are more heat sensitive than this topper? Geez. I don't even know anymore, lol....

Hey, thanks for your comments sandman. I actually needed the queen as well, but got the king and figured I'd cut it down. It *does* seem cooler to me - cooler than my other topper and definitely cooler than the Sealy or Tempurpedic beds as well. However, I'm not sure if this is a result of my not sinking into it as I did with the other MF, or if it's the foam itself. This topper is a bit odd in that, when it was on the floor airing out, it definitely would shape around my hand like I thought it should do. But it also seemed very soft, at least as soft as my old topper that was headed for the trash. I'm not sure how to describe it on the bed - we don't sink into it, but it feels cushiony, just not the 'body imprint' kind of...

Hello to everyone. Ok, so I have been through a Sealy memory foam bed (softened up too much and caused low back pain for me>>>returned) then a Temperpedic (too firm, caused shoulder pain and numbness>>>returned) then a Sealy Purembrace latex (worst of all, the indentations myself and my husband left after only  a few months were unacceptable - felt like sleeping in a hole, and caused back pain and tossing and turning>>>hoping to sell). Which leads me to bed #4 - cheapest Simmons bed at Macys, listed as a firm but with the softer gauge wires. Actually doesn'f feel too bad alone, but not the feel I want so I bought it  with the intention of getting a topper.  I purchased an Aerus 2.5" memory foam topper from Sam's Club, which is 5# foam. This is the problem now: the topper just does not seem like memory foam on the...
