Phoenix,
Thanks for the suggestions and especially the link to all of the memory foam mattress options! I have been reading and gathering more information. Some of these I had not seen.
I decided to check Sam's club online and in addition to the Areus foam mattress (
www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=185774
....which also appears to have received some good feedback from the posts I have seen), I also saw this American Sleep Organic Mattress
(
www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=prod865236
). Are you familiar with this Manufacturer and Model? I would appreciate any and anyone's feedback on this mattress. In addition to the price, I like the fact that returns to Sam's are fairly easy. Here are the specifications for this model:

My wife and I still plan to go to Saavy Rest next week, but until I get her feedback I will continue to look at other options in the event she does not like the Saavy Rest/Sleep EZ option.
Thanks,
