A good mattress is indeed one of the best purchases you can make! Online stores with a lot of marketing (Purple, Casper, etc) tend to be more expensive to make up for all the marketing though, and I've heard stories of off-gassing despite basically everyone claiming "our mattresses don't do that!". Did yours smell at all when you first got it?
Not trying to shade your choice at all, I'm just mentioning because I read a lot of threads like this when I was looking for a new mattress. I've gotten my last three mattresses from https://comfortoption.com/ and they're more comfortable than anything else I've tried (including my old Serta memory foam block), and a few hundred bucks cheaper than the YouTube/influencer-marketed brands. My sister likes the one she got on my rec too.
Ive tried many others springs or memory foam $2-3k a pop, and nothing compares to Purple. Memory foam is good but runs super hot. Purple is like memory foam but always cool. That looks like a knock off site for Purple which might be fine if you want to save a bit. There's no off gasing I've noticed owning 2 Purple mattresses (master bedroom, guest bedroom). Owning something like the Sterns and Foster Estate is comfortable but eventually the springs give and you get lumps. Ive had a Purple mattress for 7 years now with zero loss of comfort. Do need to rotate them every 6-12 months and the King weighing +200 pounds sucks.
Why three mattresses? Wear or for other rooms or something?
Main bedroom, guest room, and trundle bed in the guest room.
I don't really worry about wear - the nice thing about Comfort Option is that when one of the foam layers wears out, you can buy a replacement from them and replace just that layer, instead of buying a whole new mattress.
Of course you don't have to buy it from them - any foam manufacturer should be able to sell a sheet of the stuff that will fit in the cover, if you give them the measurements.
Did you get the same things or different combos of foams? I like the idea of mixing and matching till I get what I want.
