I replaced my bed in CA about 2 years ago, spend 2 grand and got what I thought was an OK bed. Then in AZ, decided to go cheap and picked something up at Sears in a lunch break, a Sealy I think; it is better than the one I got in CA. My biggest tip - the old wives tale about 'firm' being better is hogwash ... I got a soft bed this time and really love it

First you have to specify the proper size of your bed,as mattress should be fit on your bed.Then next is that I have searched big mattresses as you have mentioned in your thread.Well I have found a result memory foam mattress with 1400 pocket springs,I think this will help you to search the mattress.

Was up in London last weekend for the visa medical and the single bed at the hotel was a 4'-wide Mattison - very, very, comfortable, but alas, they're a UK company and only do beds for the trade (hotels, guest houses, etc).
I've read on another message board that someone who had really good sleep on a hotel bed managed to find out the manufacturer, and was able to purchase one direct from them - may be another option.

This is where everybody's different, I think - a soft bed just gives me backache.
