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!

Sleeponlatex is what I tried before settling on a hybrid mattress. The company was nice to work with, they set up someone to come pick up the mattress after trying it and not liking it, which I believe was donated to a local habitat for humanity.

I think I would've had a much better experience had I ordered a topper with it, but to be honest, I think the topper is the thing doing the actual heavy lifting of making it nice to sleep on. The mattress will likely last you 20 years, though, which is a nice plus.
