Interesting new bed company that compress-ships you a bed in a box:

It's a combination of latex foam & memory foam, which is in the middle of the road in terms of stiffness - it's not cushy like a pillowtop, which I previous had, which was really soft but also transferred any movement over to wake up your partner. Pretty much all reviews say that the firm, but not too firm, design is excellent for other activities as well. It is not a good mattress is you like a very firm bed.

Warmer than a conventional bed, but not as hot as a memory foam (which is a common complaint with foam beds...I have a knockoff Temperpedic, but I actually like the added warmth). It has a 100-day trial period & easy returns. The only real negative I've read is that there's no firm edge, so it's not good if you like sitting on the edge to put your shoes on or whatever. Shipping is 1 to 5 days CONUS. You can keep it on the floor or throw it on a boxspring or whatever you want.
Six sizes: (with discount)
1. Twin ($450) 39×75
2. Twin XL ($550) 39×80

4. Queen ($800) 60×80
5. King ($900) 76×80
6. California King ($900) 72×84

There's also a referral link in the Youtube video link's description above if those expire (I'd imagine that is a "stable" discount link since it's tied to a person who reviewed it); you can also do a google search for "http://refer.casper.com" to find more referral links for $50 off if those disappear - plenty around. The mattresses are pretty expensive, but keep in mind that a real Temperpedic ranges in price from $1500 up to $7500, so even at $900 for the largest Casper bed, you're still saving at least $600 and getting a cooler-temperature bed with a nicer hybrid foam design.
On a tangent, I'm really liking the trend towards both online commodity purchases & personalized local purchases. I don't heavily invest in very many material things, but supportive beds & shoes are two things that I am willing to put my money into. I wear New Balance shoes because they have a sensor pad you stand on that recommends a shoe for you, then they can custom-fit an insert into the shoe to match your arch & other issues you may have. I had minor foot pain most of my life due to never finding a good shoe for my feet, and after spending about 40 minutes at NB getting them fitted, I haven't had any problems since. Anyway, I think it's cool that you can order stuff like an awesome mattress online. Also, one of the reviews mentioned another online bedding company, Boll & Branch, which is supposed to have awesome cotton sheets:
