Any buying tips? Does it need to be any more complicated than lying on a few at the showroom? Of course I know mattresses aren't lifetime purchases; my main concern is avoiding paying good money for something I'll hate in a few years.

I'm prepared to spend up to US$1500. I want a spring coil mattress. I don't want memory foam. Please lend me your shopping experiences!

Check out Avocado. Do yourself a favor and get one of their pillows while you're at it too. Bought one of their mattresses a while back and the first three months afterwards I didn't want to get out of bed. I just wanted to lay in the heavenly paradise and recover the terrible sleep I was having for the 3 years prior before waking up one day with the worst neck & back pain of my life.
