Totally overwhelmed and confused‏, Simmons mattress for motion reduction

Andrew writes:

Hi- 

Thanks for your blog and honest assessments. My wife and I are in the market for a new King mattress with a few needs:

We don't want to feel movement

We don't want to sleep hot

We want good quality, are willing to pay for an expensive mattress but want a plush/ultra-plush that won't sag.

We have looked at the Simmons Black Georgianna

Simmons NGX Elbus

S&F Plush: Windy (individual coils and Latex) ?

All are comfortable, but the S&F salesman says Simmons Black has sagging issues and an ultra-plush is bad for your back

Consumer Reports and other sites say Stearns and Foster has a 57% satisfaction rate vs Simmons which has higher ratings.

We have no idea how to sort through this and make sense of it, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Does S&F have issues at that expensive price-point?

Please help!

Hi Andrew,
"Soft" is what sells. You are encouraged to indulge your sense of luxury when buying a mattress...because they wear out quickly. That makes you a repeat customer.
Complaints are not brand specific. Complaints are made on the mattresses sold. Pillowtops and memory foam top the list for sales and complaints.
There are good choices and bad choices in each line. Salesmen tend to push the easy sell and the high profit mattresses. ("High Profit"...a euphemism for meaning, "Not worth what you paid for it")
CR is where I go before buying many things. But, they haven't got a clue when it comes to mattresses...and have clearly admitted as much. In an attempt to be helpful in an industry that is much to complex for them...(I believ those were the words they used), they are posting any and all information without being able to decpher it. It's misleading information...as it is meant to be. Save your CR for the next appliance you buy.
 
Kudos to the salesman you saw, who tried to steer you away from a too soft mattress. You'll want to speak with him again before buying.
 
A mattress is an upholstered products that holds the weight of adults. There is no such thing as a mattress that won't sag...especially and certainly, not a soft one.
Simply put, you won't get everything you want in one mattress. Consider a sleep system instaed. Specifically, a good quality individually pocketed coil unit that is medium in feel...not too firm or too soft.
Add to that. 2" of soft Talalay latex for that soft surface feel you want. Latex is extrodinarily comfortable and resilient. Frankly, it's the only way to get everything you want.
Stay away from the pillowtops. They all wear out quickly. 
Our best selling, most popular, best over-all result sleep system is the Simmons Beautyrest Annapolis Place in luxury firm with the latex topper. Here are the links to those items.
