My "mattress resume'" is printed below following the bulk of this message. I feel pretty qualified to give this advice, but of course, take it with a grain of salt. This is just my opinion, in the end. But it is based on many other people's experiences as well as my own,and it gives you some info that you can use to make your own decision.
This is surely not "DEFINITIVE" and I hope others who've been here on this forum awhile and experimented with foams and mattress springs will add their 2 cents. But I write this because I sincerely believe it will help the average mattress buyer.
SO HERE IS MY RECOMMENDATION TO MATTRESS BUYERS:
1) Buy the kind...

But maybe you could do what we do:
My wife and I put our twin mattresses side by side, which is basically a KING when they're put together. That eliminates the motion transfer problem. She's a "restless leg" person and I'm a bad back person and light sleeper so even though we did not want to sleep in seperate beds, this was the only way we could sleep. (mostly me) The only drawback...

That's a reasonable question. At some point, when gathering information, if you hear the same thing a number of times, from different people, you tend to believe it. Could it be a lie told again and again? Yes, but I would think that if Englander SAYS it's a 12.5 then it must be or else they could have a lawsuit on their hands.
When I first heard about Englander, about 7 years ago, I was told by a couple different Englander stores that the springs were 12.5 gauge and I'm pretty sure at that time I called Englander company as well and was told the same...

I started out looking at Stearns and Foster's "natural latex" mattresses. I have found a good salesman and was getting close to "pulling the trigger" when I discovered this website and the many others that flowed from it.
From what I have been able to ascertain it is almost impossible to find out what the big three "S" manufactures are putting in their beds. And I'm not talking about all of this green, organic, off gassing, and other, back to nature movement, buzzwords. What I'm talking...

The lump you're describing could be something that is often referred to as a "King Bump". It's caused by the difference in box support between the edges of the King boxes and the centers. Since kings (Or California King) mattresses use two edge reinforced boxes the support is naturally sturdier where the boxes meet in the middle of the bed than it is halfway between the middle and the edge. I'd be willing to bet that if you looked the "lump" coincides with the point where the two boxes meet.
You have several options here:
1) Sealy's warranty does cover this problem if it has created a difference in bed height greater than 1.5" from the highest point of the lump to the lowest (non-button) point of your deepest impression. Sealy's warranty is 10 years non-prorated, non-fixit. (You should more or less get a comparable mattress or even the money you paid...

Sealy Springfree is about the only manufacturer that does not buy their cores from LI.
So far as beds only being "part" latex this depends on the mattress. Ask for something with a Talalay Core and Talalay top. You can buy latex beds with Poly cores but these are generally the "budget" versions. A queen latex bed should run you at least $2000 for the set and more likely closer to $2500. If it doesn't, I'd ask why. There's a lot less margin variance in the industry than people think and if one bed is significantly less than another it's almost always not because it's a "better deal" but because it's made more cheaply.

The reason your bed was made by a manufacturer other than the name under which you bought it is because you went for a mattress with the cheap Bonnell coil instead of a major manufacturer's major coil system. Most manufacturers will outsource those lower end products and only produce their actual coils themselves. This is the difference between a bed that says Sealy and a bed that says Sealy Posturpedic.
While there may not be an excuse for the lack of customer service you received in your search for a bed, the lack of knowledge doesn't surprise me. Remember, when you make a mattress purchase you're not only paying for the steel, foams, and upholstery, you're also paying for personal training, spec materials, and vendor support. When you're shopping the rock bottom lowend (which a $400 queen mattress is) one of the first things the vendor cuts is retail support....
