IMHO, pocket coils are better for people that have either broad shoulders or broad hips, as those areas are allowed more give with the pocket coil.  A more evenly proportioned, higher weight individual would probably do better on a non-pocket coil.

I should never have made the assumption that you were in Toronto but the list didn't take long because I only had to search through my list for Ontario and then do a quick check to make sure they had something. If anything Quebec is even better since there are more manufacturers there than anywhere else in Canada. I could certainly look though again for Quebec if you'd like but some of them I couldn't read their website since my french is rudimentary.

In general terms I believe that you can expect to get better value from almost all local or regional manufacturers than you can by going with any of the "S" brands. They all use way too much poly in all their mattresses that are anywhere close to your budget and even the ones that don't...

You have a lot of options besides Marshall ... and with very reasonable prices. Most of these are mattress manufacturers although there are a few retailers as well that seemed to have a decent selection outside of the "S" brands at reasonable prices. I'm not sure where in Toronto you are so I included some which may be too far away. There may be a few here (such as Pafgroup and Sleepking) that only sell to retailers but they are still probably worth a call to see if there is a good retail oulet with good choices close to you. They are usually willing to help here. There are some very good options here

I would be a little careful about buying your next mattress so quickly. I know you are in pain but what looks good in that short a time could end up becoming another problem....

I used to live in TO for a few years ... in Pickering and then near Lawrence and Allen :)

There are quite a few options there regarding latex. Let me look through my list and see what I can find. I'll post in an hour or two after I have done some stuff I need to do.

It sounds like you were able to return the Backguard which if true is good news.

I would not buy any mattress that I didn't know the details of what is inside it. It's just too risky. I would also be very careful buying a mattress that had a lot of polyfoam in the upper layers. Sleep Country has no details of what is in these mattresses. I would ask them for a layer by layer description and if they won't give it to you ... walk away.

If you have to buy from Sleep Country because of a mattress exchange, then get as many details as you can (coil count/size, coil guage, height of the mattress, special features, and any other details you can). This way the mattress can be matched to an outlet that provides the same or almost same mattress under a different...

"I HOPE you weren't referring to Vancouver Island when you said "Maybe that's part of the price you pay for living in such a beautiful but isolated part of the world" lol."

Vancouver Island is paradise and is the CENTER of the world. If it's not important to us ... it's just not important :)

OK on to some mattress talk ... cause that really important! (laughing)

There's a place on Fort st http://www.goodplanet.com/ and they have a couple of what look like Sueno and Greensleep. They are all very nice mattresses and are also well worth laying on as the Sueno's especially are easy to duplicate and both are good quality.

Sleep country also carries the Zenbody by sealy. One of them is all latex (core and top with no poly believe it or not) and one of them...

Sorry, I see by my last posted reply that I didnt post it right so trying again!  Phoenix, I'm wondering who/where you finally bought your mattress layers from??  Can you exchange them at any time if you want to?   I am wanting to do the same as you did...building the layers but, not sure where/who to buy them from?!  I'm finding the whole mattress buying thing as stressful as buying a car and just wish I could be done but want to make sure I am getting the right fit the first time!  What size did you get and approx how much did it cost you?  Did you already have a foundation to put the...

So sorry you went through the trouble of digging up all of those manufacturers and retailers in the Toronto area. I mentioned Marshall because I heard of them and I know a retailer who carries it in Montreal - I think I would like this model:

I should have mentioned that I actually live in Laval, QC. I have two jobs so it’s very difficult for me to dedicate a lot of time to this problem (not to mention the tensions it has created on my marriage) but I intend to take a look at what this manufacturer has to offer: http://www.matelasbourck.qc.ca. There’s a few more, such as Mirabel and Dauphin but I know very little about them and I have no way of knowing if what they make is actually better or worse than the 3 S, mattresses remaining...

Unfortunately, the store where I purchased the BackGuard did not want to take it back, only one exchange allowed. I can understand that. I even offered to just trade it in for a small credit that I could have applied later to purchase a bed for one of my kids, but no can do. There's always Kijiji or Craigslist but with all the reports on bed bugs infestation, it's very difficult to sell a used mattress and I don't have a garage or any spare room to store a mattress. I'll offer to give it to a friend who told me he also hates his mattress but if he doesn't want it, it will just end in the trash. At least, I can still use the box spring.

The Beautyrest has pretty much the same specs in all stores: 800 coils, 13.75 gage. Some have a reinforced middle (not sure I want that) or a padded contour...

Been shopping for a few days and intend to stick with a tight top, firm to mid-firm model. Would have loved an old fashioned two-sided but I only found cheap ones that aren't firm enough, more intended for a kid. Too bad.

So far, I found those two (also available with different variations from stores to stores):

http://www.sleepcountry.ca/mattress-accessories/mattresses/sub_categories/pocket_coil/products/4

http://www.sleepcountry.ca/mattress-accessories/mattresses/sub_categories/innerspring/products/1

They'd be both on the firm side to start with but I think they could become comfortable with the latex topper.

I have two questions. For someone as heavy as me, is it better to go with pocket coils or interlocked springs? Obviously, the Simmons seems to transfer less motion, which is a plus but I wonder if the Sealy might last longer and sag less, while being able to distribute the weight more evenly than the individual coils.

Also, different stores have different variations of the...
