I would like to know which is a more firm mattress: Sleep Innovations 12-Inch SureTemp Memory Foam or the Sleep Innovations 12-Inch Gel Swirl ?

The main difference is that the gel swirl has temperature control so it doesn't get hot in the summer. You can call Sleep Innovations directly for your firmness question. I know they are both about the same firmness. The Sure Temp ships faster. (I'm waiting for my Gel Swirl)

I recently purchased an 11" Brentwood mattress for school. Now, I have only owned the mattress for a few weeks, and have slept on it a total of about 5 times, so I am by no means as experienced with this mattress as others. With that being said, I spent some time in the local mattress stores exploring options because I was also on the fence about the 9" vs 11". What I tended to notice in the store was that the thinner mattresses were slightly firmer than their thicker counterparts. The 11" Brentwood is a medium firm, but a very comfortable sort of firm (i.e. you don't sink into the mattress more than a few inches, but it is really supportive). I imagine that the 9" would be just the slightest bit more firm, which could be great if you like a firmer bed. As for the gel keeping you cool, again I can't speak to much of the 9", but the 11" keeps me cool, which is great because I usually wake up hot in my tempur-pedic at home. Last I looked there was about a $40 difference between the 9" and 11" which is a significant difference for a mattress under $400. Really the decision for me was do I want to pay an extra $40 for 2 inches of foam and a maybe slightly more supportive mattress. I ultimately decided yes, but you (more that likely) will be happy with either.

The 13 inch has more of the gel infused cooling foam which keeps you cooler, and it has the pink layer of comfort foam. Its the best mattress I've ever purchased. Just give it a week till you get used to it.

It is not as thick as the Big Barker but if you are interested in the orthopedic bed by doggonit I would get the 4.5 GEL Memory Foam. It is a great bed and the gel helps regulate the temperature. I am very happy with mine and so are my best friends! I use a doggie blanket on top of it so that I don't have to wash the zipper cover.

Anne, I love my memory foam mattresses. I have a 12" and an 8". I like them both. I bought the 12" first, and, only bought the 8", because, I like to rotate my mattress, and, the 12" is too heavy. Great comfort, no regrets Anne.

Generally, the thicker the mattress, the more plush/soft the mattress will be. The 8" is designed for back sleepers. The 10-12" is designed for back/side sleepers. The 13" is designed for all around sleeping, including on the stomach. Memory foam mattresses will contour to your body during your rest, as it reacts to temperature. It will support your full body by contouring to your body shape. Our spring mattresses, still give support, as your body will contour to the individually wrapped coils.

I am not sure of any difference. I ordered my elastic memory foam mattress and have used it constantly. It is great. It responds to the original size fast and does not hold any impressions. I had major back surgery and needed one to sleep as I have to sleep always on my back. When I ordered the one I got, I got one I could afford, i.e. under $90.

Sleep Innovations really only offers the one level of firmness and it's pretty firm. I read through a lot of the reviews and went with the 12 inch and got the Full Size 3 Inch Thick, 4 Pound Density Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper by Memory Foam Solutions to go with it. The combination makes for an extremely soft bed and still keeps you at a very low price.

Financially, it's definitely a lot cheaper to buy the Lucid by Linen Spa 12" Gel than a Sealy or Simmons Memory Foam. 2 years ago I bought a TemperPedic Cloud Lux - the top of the line and it was very expensive, over $3,000. I had the worst experience of my life. It felt like sleeping on a bag of sand. There was no "give" to it and it was very hard for me to get out of the bed and to move around. I woke up in a lot of pain and returned it to the local mattress store. I have rheumatoid arthritis and neck and spinal arthritis and it really aggravated my condition instead of helping it. I bought this Lucid for my 15 year old grandson and he loves it. I would not go below a 12" mattress.

Personally I feel that the Dream On Me Evenflo Baby Suite Selection 300 Foam Mattress with Square Corner (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RPH72I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) is a better fit, even though its not as firm. As another reviewer mentioned, the mattress is a bit narrower than the Evenflo Portable Baby Suite, there are some noticeable gaps, not HUGE gaps, but definitely doesn't fit as snug as the other mattress I mentioned.

Been using mine for months (less than a year) and can tell no difference in the firmness or shape. The manufacture recommends a mattress pad which I'm sure will help prolong the life of the memory foam.

I don't know about cool gel. But I have not felt hot at all with this mattress! It has been amazing! My husband also says he has no issues about being too hot!

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.
