Sorry, I'm not sure how I can tell what mattress has the best springs. I can't see inside of these mattresses lol!

Talk to the salesman about the coil gauge and coil count of the various mattresses. Go with the firmest/strongest imho.
It may not really matter much. Just go for firm and strong. The less foam the better....

If you can get a refund yes, by all means use your old mattress.  You will just be having more of the same problems with a different new S matress; just everyone elses opinion on new mattresses.

Or if you can't get a refund, take which one has the best springs, and gut it in 6 months to a year and put in what foam you want.  Not sure springs are any good now days though.  Or just take a loss like the rest of us consumers, been there and done that one many many times....

Jim gave you the perfect advice.  Its very doubtful you'll get anything other than an exchange and more than likely, it'll have to be as much or more than you've already paid.

So get  a good firm mattress and then do the toppers as Jim suggests.  This is the advice that makes the most sense.  Your mattress is too soft, thats why your back is hurting. I did exactly the same thing as you about a year ago. Also a stomach sleeper like you,  I thought I was buying a real 'latex' mattress but in effect it was a PU mattress with 2" of latex way down underneath 6" or so of smart sounding PU layers.  It felt fine in the store, but after a few weeks, it had to go.  The mattress sales lady asked us specifically how we slept and should have never let us buy that bed with a soft...

I bought a Simmons Beautyrest Classic almost two years and so I am in the same position as you only two years later.  My mattress started off fine but the foam has know lost it's resilience and by bottom sinks into the mattress and I now wake up in the middle of the night hot and sweaty (because of back strain) and a sore back of course.  Even though the mattress looks like new. It just doesn't have the support any more and of course it's not covered under warrenty.  I also bought my mattress from a big chain and this was my replacement mattress and after trading in my first choice for similar reason to yours.  I agree completely with Jimsocials advice and trade it for a firm mattress and then purchase a latex topper.  Don't be swayed by the big mattress chain and the "expert" salesmen and go...

I doubt you will have much luck with the Serta either because for that price I am assuming it is most certainly another pillowtop mattress.  I am sure that the type of coils used in either bed is almost completely irrelevant because there is too much foam being used anyway.  But I definitely wouldn't pay that much money for a continuous coil considering they are the cheapest to make. 

As a stomach sleeper you really should be on something a little bit on the firmer side, which is probably why your older mattress (although worn out and maybe not so comfortable) was actually a better support for the way that you sleep.  If you don't want to spend more money and get something like a firm latex bed you should try and get them to simply take the mattress back for a more basic Simmons model...

Well, I hate to sound like a broken record but really I see no good solution here other than what I am about to tell you.

If I am correct:
a) you cannot get a refund
b) you can only get an exchange

If you could get a refund - even with a restocking charge - I would do so.
If you can't, and if they only sell S brand mattresses - Simmons, Sealy, Serta, etc. - then I see your only good choice as this:

Take the mattress back and buy the cheapest mattress they have, an ultra firm - the firmest they can get for you. Doesn't really matter what brand, they're all the same.

Use the savings to buy a latex topper or two, to put on top of your new mattress. If they won't refund you the difference, then try to get them to order the latex topper for...
