A Healthy Investment

Following extensive research to confirm its advertised merits, my wife and I selected this mattress and the medium height (4.5") foundation. However, exhaustive data concerning quality and workmanship sometimes fails miserably when it comes to simply lying down on the chosen mattress. For this, we selected our favorite pillows and appeared at the local elite seller at opening on a Saturday morning so we could "sleep" on the mattress in relative solitude.
At first touch, we loved the mattress, its stitching, materials, edge support, and elegant topping. My life uttered and audible sigh as we stretched out, and I (the super critical retired scientist) could only manage a demur, "ahhhhh."
For once, objective data and subjective sensations converged. We were sold, but alas had to maintain our stoic demeanor until we tested a few concerns raised by others, and in particular, heat retention.
The passive heat transfer was negligible, and perceptually less than our old (and equally well made) traditional coil-spring mattress. We still purchased the best cooling mattress cover offered - just in case.
The first night wasn't the best, and because of the mattress and foundation, but us as we kept changing positions in efforts to identify a weakness, a flaw, or reason for not spending a large amount our savings on a mattresses! We failed.
Subsequent nights got better and better. My wife's sore hips and aching shoulders were gone. My restlessness sparked my my wife's constant movements was gone as well.
I could go on about principles of elasticity, thermal dynamics, off gassing, and energy transfer, but the litmus test is easier to understand. We sleep significantly better on this mattress. It's an expensive investment, but in our opinions, well worth the cost.
