I beat you to it (after much research on every type of mattress available).
I went into my local Jamison dealer and asked to see the Marriott bed which they glady had on the floor for sampling. The Marriott bed uses a less-expensive foam mattress that is made for the hotel industry; it is great for a few years but requires replacing much sooner than most consumer-based mattresses. The Marriott bed is a mattress/box springs and retails for around $1,200.00. You might have to purchase a new mattress after 5 years.
Sample the Marriott bed, then ask to sample the Jamison Comfort Choice laytex mattress as this is the one you really want. The mattress is 3" soft laytex on top of 7" firm laytex. The box spring is a very sturdy 10". This bed retails for around $2,100.00. Laytex will last for 20 years under normal wear and is resistent to dust mites, mold, and mildew.
