Any buying tips? Does it need to be any more complicated than lying on a few at the showroom? Of course I know mattresses aren't lifetime purchases; my main concern is avoiding paying good money for something I'll hate in a few years.

I'm prepared to spend up to US$1500. I want a spring coil mattress. I don't want memory foam. Please lend me your shopping experiences!

I know you said spring coil, but I'm still going to suggest Tuft and Needle (or similar).

I used Tuft & Needle for years, but be aware that it gets hot. I switched to a spring mattress and have been much happier.
