Hi guys. So I'm in the market for a new mattress. It's ridiculous how many options are available out there... Each bed shop has their own naming convention etc.. I'm stumped. So how does one choose? We're currently on a firm Cloud Nine (No idea as to the model, it was a cheaper version after we got married, but we want to move to a queen bed) At this point, we've only got salespersons' talk. I feel like I'm being sold a Merida XT Edition "because it has a XT rear derailleur"... So any advice would be appreciated. I'd like to go a little more plush than "FIRM" but not excessively so - we're not 150kgs or 90 years old... I like the ideaof the Meelu and Sloom locally manufactured mattresses and I'm happy to pay a slight premium to support local, I just don't want to buy something for 2 or 3x the usual price because it's manufactured at some local place. Hoping some of you know your matresses!! PS - We've got a really nice and sturdy Incanca made bed with 10cm wooden slats and 4cm gaps in between, and I'll likely get a Protect-a-bed Therm-a-sleep Cloud mattress protector... Hoping for some good feedback, it doesn't yet exist in RSA...
