"The chances that foam will break down are heavily dependant upon the type of foam being used. You can't really make a label that all foam is bad.

Case in point, Tempurpedic is an all foam bed. Unlike virtually every manufacturer out there they only require 3/4" sag (body impression) in your mattress to trigger their warranty. The rest of the industry requires a 1.5" sag. Despite this and despite being all foam Tempurpedics have the lowest warranty redemption rate in the industry.

It's all in the type and quality."

I didn't say or mean to imply that "all foam is bad".  It is merely a product that has a life.  Longer or shorter, depending on quality and use.  It really is about the bubbles!

Actually, I did buy some high quality memory foam toppers to go with mattresses.  I did also find that even with good memory foam I was able to make...

I had dejavu looking at your pictures!  Yes, there should be a layer or two of an insulator...burlap or a wire mesh.  In my last bed(I retired it to the kids..they like it and sleep with all the foam inside).  Another suggestion given to me by my bed-guy...put the carpet layer under the springs where you need it...it pushes them up and makes them more supportive.  You could add it under the mattress itself instead.  I thought it was hooey when I was told that but it did work.
I wonder if your springs are part of the problem?  Can you rotate them?  I wonder if you can just buy a set of new springs somewhere...Leggett and Platt have a new offset coil out that looks intriguing. 
I think you are 100% correct about the mattress top foam.  When I had the last go round with the last mattress, the mattress...

Yup.  I bought one when they first came out.  I got a non-pillowtop which was probably the smartest thing I did.  Darn thing was still over 1K, which was a lot of money back when.  Anyway, only way to sleep on it was with a nice foam pad.  This was also when I was younger and had zero issues(which I think have been caused by the beds and furniture and car seat foam wearing out, but I digress).  I slept OK but the second the foam wore out(which was typically in the middle of the night...it went to dead foam...had to get up)there was no sleeping on the thing.  Face it, we think of air as light, fluffy soft...but compressed air(that in the bed chambers) is used for power tools!!  It is HARD and has no give.  Doesn't support the heavier places.  Feels dead, no rebound.  Then I gave it...

Well there sure isn't much available in the way of latex in Stockton ... or even mattresses in general. I guess northern CA is a lot different from Southern CA which has the most manufacturers in the US.

In any case here is what I know of ...

http://starmattress.net/location.php Local manufacturer. These are the only manufacturers that I know of near you that make latex mattresses. They would likely have the best value or close to it on this list and would be well worth making the trip.

http://www.sleepworld.com/locations.php Retailer. Carry Englander which has Dunlop latex (firmer than Talalay). Seems rather expensive but may be worth going to just to test out latex seeing that they are the only place that seems to have latex in Stockton at least that I know of. They are rather expensive and...

Of the ones you posted here is what I know:

Bowles Mattress: Probably overpriced for a "local" manufacturer. I got a quote from them on a spa series 9" embrace latex and it was 2199 plus shipping. Their lineup also looks familiar as if they are manufacturing another line (such as stress-o-pedic or symbol) but I'd have to do some digging and "matching up" to see if that was the case.

Indiana mattress company: Don't have them in my database but my initial impression of them is very favorable. Adding them to my DB. Worth pursuing

Holder mattress: Have them in my database but thought they were overpriced. Didn't research them any further

Holder bedding: Talked to a delightful old guy there. He is mailing me information on his mattresses because he wasn't hi-tech enough to email it to me. Seemed like...

Hi,

I currently have a flotation mattress (soft-sided waterbed) and have pretty major back pain. So I think it's time to replace. I need the support of a good firm mattress, but cannot sleep at all on anything hard (hence my flotation bed).

Since I really don't know what's going to work yet, I want as much flexibility as possible. And unfortunately I can't afford a really top-of-the-line mattress right now, so I have to get 'creative' with about $1000-$1300 or so if possible.

It seems like getting a decent innerspring mattress with good firm support, maybe a mid-level pocketed-coil like Simmons or Stress-O-Pedic (local brand) would be the most recommended for support. Anyone concur here or have recommendations?

Then I could top it off with a decently thick 100% natural Talalay latex topper to give the comfort and pressure point relief...
