The old adage that you get what you > pay for is still true today. Also check the warranty. I purchased a mattress from Sears about 6 years ago and my parents purchased a similar mattress from a local furniture company. both mattresses were made by Simmons. The Sears warranty provides for a replacement mattress within the first two years while the Simmons mattress provides a replacement for the first five years. Get the best warranty you can because mattresses can have defects in them which don't show up for a few years (both mine and my parents' did). -- -Pat bn207@freenet.carleton.ca
