I spent well over $1,000 for a memory foam mattress because springs were seen as low quality. After about 3 nights of sleeping on this Posturepedic Spring Pillow Top Medium II, I would highly disagree. this gives great support and was so comfy on the first night that my 6 year old son and I feel asleep after just about 10 minutes. I have woken up without the aches and pains in my back and hips (that I would feel on my memory foam) and after a long day at work, this is like a firm cloud to lay on. Great mattress, seems to be top quality with the stitching and materials.
