Buyer Beware or Ignore the Stupid People?

I was reading reviews on a couple mattresses we are interested in buying, they are memory foam and they each have 2-3 layers of soft, medium and firm foam that make up this mattress. While some of the reviews are 5 stars, others are 1-2 stars and I was thinking those sound like drastically different mattresses while reading them, but I wondered if some of those people had their mattress upside down! Such different perspectives on one thing!

Sometimes I wonder about people... I mean did they try to make it work? Or did they get frustrated and not think past that?

I really want to believe the good reviews and get a quality mattress for an amazing price, but I am inclined to be skeptical. Michael and I don't have a lot of money to get a new mattress, so I want to make the best decision possible.

This is so tough!!! Maybe we should check out IKEA's memory foam mattresses too...

Anyone got a suggestion?
