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).
