Keep in mind when you get a good basic mattress, you can change up the feel with different toppers. I'm quite sure memory foam toppers are about the most pressure relieving, can be had at a reasonable price and aren't too hard to find. You just have to be ok with the 'non-natural' aspect of it. As much as I'd like the perfect all natural bed that is super comfortable, it tends to be quite expensive and many cases not returnable.
If you happened to get a basic latex mattress, you could always dress it up with a latex or memory foam topper. May take some experimentation with the toppers. One other thing is a topper will extend the life of your mattress. The topper takes the load directly from bodies, so the mattress bears less load. When the topper wears out or you're tired...

I don't know about the Sleep Science mattresses. Costco only had Posturepedic innersprings on display and the Novaform.
Simmons Comforpedic? That is one mattress I never did see around the Bay Area. I think it is Simmons memory foam mattress. Never did see one.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if you can still get this mattress from Costco? Or where you might be able to get something like this with a decent return/exchange policy? It's the Sleep Science mattress with both memory foam and latex called either the Celeste or the Vega I believe?
I found it on this site: http://www.homeclick.com/sleep-science-cst-14ck-14-cal-king-memory-foam-mattress/p-422026.aspx but really dont know anything about this retailer.
About a year or more ago when all my back pain began, I laid on some of the Comforpedic beds (also combo of memory foam plus some latex) and really loved them in the store. But, they are nearly $2,500 for a king and in Dallas the only place I could really find them was Sleep Experts. They do allow a one time one year exchange, but no refund. You'd have to get a replacement from...

Friday night was ok. Little bit of ache in the morning, but not bad. But, the mattress was so firm that I had a hard time falling asleep.
Saturday I put a simple 1" memory foam topper on it. Nothing fancy- like 3lb, but just enough to help a bit. Well- that was a BAD idea.
Sunday we both woke up at 5am with excruciating back pain! I mean bad. We both promptly moved to the guest room. Of course, after about five minutes I just could not lay down anymore and had to get up. And my back hurt all day yesterday.
Sunday night we tried again mattress only, no topper. That was...

After MUCH additional research and the last ten days piled into the queen bed in our guest room, it's time to make a decision. Of course, given that we've been burned by pillow top sagging, the generally poor quality of a lot of mattresses these days, the pretty much non existent warranties (well, none that will ever be honored), and the general shenanigans of this industry, I am so nervous. I am willing to spend a good amount on a mattress, but given our history, I will be very upset if a new fancy mattress is sagging again in under two years, I cannot return, and I am out $1,000-2,000 for a king.
So- I think I've concluded that I'd like to buy from Sam's or Costco due to their very general and long term return policies.
Please keep in mind that we...

This past week, we visited the local Mattress Firm and tried out several of the plusher S&F's. My wife like the Fiona pillow-top best. I preferred the Abbey Lynn and Fiona plush (both of which were a little firmer that the Fiona pillow-top but still plenty plush). However, the mattress we actually liked the best was the TempurPedic Cloud Luxe. That surprised me. I had typically found the TP mattresses too firm.
Anyway, I've got two basic issues with the TP. First, I don't...

The gel infused foam is also created by them.
All it is, is memory foam with small gel particles that are shredded then mixed into the blender before the foam is poured.
Another way to obtain small gel pieces, is to freeze the gel into a hard piece then shatter it into small pieces, like a block of ice would shatter into smaller pieces when placed in a blender..
The theory of putting these small gel particles into the foam is not enhance comfort. The memory foam does that. The memory foam is the essential solid structure providing the comfort.
The gel, which is in a liquid polymer form before it solidifies, is a better heat conductor than memory foam. They believe that the gel particles absorb excess heat in the foam.

They have a very large foam pouring, cutting, and assembly of memory foam beds in south China.
Whilst I have never tried their memory foam beds, I can bet they are good quality. They also have excellent pillows.
The problem is that most manufacturers make a good memory foam mattress. It just depends what you feel like spending to get the same thing?
I still think that the best bang for the buck is "Sleep Innovations" 12' mattresses at Costco. They have a very nice 3" layer of Cool Comfort foam, on top, which is nice and soft and breathable. I think $499 for a queen.
Under the comfort layer, Is a 9" core of 2 lb 35 IFD foam. This foam is the best in the industry. You cannot get...

If you want to know more about the ingredients that go into foam and its fabrication, you may need books published by Dow, Dupont Bayer, BASF etc...
You could also Google the Polyurethane foam Association on line. They have a quite a few research papers.
After that, and once you have a better knowledge of what chemicals are blended together and what types of foam exist, you may want to study the hundreds of patents written on foam to date since...
