The Sealy Posturepedic Singles Affinity Plush feels soft and 'foamy' so it is quite comfortable but it has a distinct flimsy and bouncy feel to it. Spinal support is questionable. Overall feels pretty cheap.
The Sealy Posturepedic Singles Affinity Firm has reasonable spinal support but as with the plush version, this mattress feels cheap and has that distinct 'bouncy' feel to it which often indicates a very basic spring system. Nothing special here.
The SleepMaker Halo Medium has a somewhat 'rubbery' feel to it. Decent spinal support although there may be a little partner disturbance. Feels a little cheap but for the price it is a good one.
The Sealy Active Firm has a 'spongy' feel to it but is quite comfortable and supportive. There may be some partner disturbance but for under $1000 this is a serious contender. Go and try it out.
The Slumberland Value Stoke feels firm and supportive but immediately feels cheap and flimsy. Partner disturbance will be an issue. However for the price it is as good as you will get. A good one for the guest room or someone on a tight budget.
The Malvik Firm feels cheap and bouncy but fairly comfortable and has decent spinal support. Partner disturbance seems minimal. Very basic mattress though, you can do better.
The Hesseng Medium Firm has average spinal support and feels quite springy and bouncy. Partner disturbance seems OK. Overall, very average.
The Hesseng Firm has decent spinal support and is reasonably comfortable. Still feels bouncy but partner disturbance seems OK. One of the best mattresses at IKEA but that's not saying much.
The Fiji Whitehaven Tranquillity feels firm but "hard" and not particularly comfortable. Spinal support is decent but feels flimsy. Partner disturbance seems to be an issue as well.
The Capri Whitehaven Tranquillity is fairly comfortable and spinal support is "OK". However you can immediately tell this mattress feels bouncy and cheap.
The Sleepmaker Allegra Medium is comfortable with no sinking feeling. Feels a little springy and cheap. Decent spinal support. Minimal partner disturbance.
The Sleepmaker Allegra Firm is firm (not surprisingly) with decent support but feels springy, bouncy and cheap. There is some partner disturbance as well to contend with.
