Went and passed over the credit card today. These mattresses are made in house and ours will be delivered on Thursday. I would have like to have spent a few hundred less, but at least it can be returned if we don't like it. Life span of a mattress you can't flip is approximately 10 years. We will see. It is important to rotate the mattress.
I looked in my files to see if I still had the receipt from when I bought the mattresses for our room and the guest room. I didn't have the paperwork any more.
How many opt for the base which is adjustable?

We have an adjustable split (head only) Sleep Number. I like the adjustable pressure but the split head adjustment was a waste. Patty raises her side but mine never moves. The bed was ridiculously expensive and the sheets are even more expensive. Never again!!

The cheapest option to get an adjustable base was about $800.00. We passed. The mattress is such that we can always buy an adjustable base later.

The flipping was one factor to consider. Taking a chance on the wear factor with the new mattress since it can't be flipped. If we each lose a few pounds it will put less wear on the mattress.

Tempurpedic at home, Sealy memory foam at the beach. We have had the Tempurpredic for ~15 years and shows no sign of wear or tear, no divots, and change in the material. The one major issue with it is weight, we had to get a mattress cover that goes over the top. The zip on one was "inconvenient", in that you had to lift the end of the mattress to get it on and off. The "knock-off" from Sealy is quite nice and I am used to the memory-foam sleeping experience, but it not the same, but somewhat close.
