I have a new Stearns and Foster set due to come in June 10th.  It's the entry level Luxury line Sears calls 'Hearthstone Luxury Plush' without pillowtop.

I plan to protect it right away with a Protect O Bed waterproof cover.  This mattress has the individual coils.

I've heard some posts here about foam breaking down in the center sleeping area.  Is this what to expect in a year or two?

Would it be better to get a Posturepedic with the 'power packed' foam in the middle 1/3 of the mattress?  Or memory foam in that area? Or skip anything with regular high density foam?

Opinions appreciated, thanks.

I've been on this this S&F Hearthstone (the entry level traditional line) Plush for 3 weeks now.  It's a good bed no doubt.  There is some indentation that remains after getting off the bed.  I don't have any backaches or neck pain after a night.  But I can't say the bed is spectacular.  I've also tried falling asleep on my back with pillow under knees, but I don't fall asleep til rolling onto left shoulder.  So, I'm thinking, this is it? 

So, I went to Sleep Train where a saleslady introduced a Tempur-pedic Cloud Luxe on an adjustable base.  That was an eye opener.  With feet elevated, seems I might be able to sleep on my back.  I can't do the Tempurpedic price now, so had to walk from that.

I suspect this S&F might not flex very well on an adjustable base.  S&F says a Plush model can be used on an adjustable, but not a firm.  I find that a little strange as it doesn't make sense.

I have one exchange opportunity with Sears, so I've got an iComfort Revolution mattresses on box spring coming 7/13.   Tonight I'm going to spend as long as possible on the store model.  I haven't detected any sinking in too much yet, but I'd rather detect something bad now than after the bed is delivered.
