Evey where online seems to be astroturfed, just companies pumping themselves up, all the review sites I've found so far, if i dig deep, are also bought and sold. And, it seems like the industry has grown into further and further ways of obfuscating how terrible they are making their products now- eg. cutting down on the literal stitches in the side walls, so it doesn't last 5 years.

JFC! I just need a bed! I want to get it offline, cause in person(my town is small and dont even think we have a sales center) but they are all commission based, just used car salesman trying to take as much money as possible. Does anyone have any recommendations? My partner and I aren't rich but we are moving in together for first time(gleeful noises!), and both our beds already suck. Leaning toward a spring and foam situation, probably cant spend more that 1k, and are hoping for a king so theres plenty of wiggle room for both of us, and we dont end up having sleep problems with each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated- God I hate capitalism, literally ruins the entire earth and now wont even let me sleep. Thanks comrades,

I've had this one for about 2 years and I'm still highly satisfied with it. Just the right amount of firmness, comfortable, stable, and great for non-sleep bedroom activity. All for well under $400, or potentially free if you play your cards right with Amazon. And delivered in a box to your door. I've missed it whenever I travel. I've had zero desire to upgrade and see no reason to. It's holding up incredibly well and if it ever fails me, I can buy the same one again and still come out ahead. I'm surprised the ass raping mattress lobby hasn't found a way to block the import of these, because imo, it's the $5,000 BYD EV of the mattress world.

Full disclosure: I am not a mattress expert
