Agreed. We tried a name brand foam mattress and it was awful. Tried an Ikea foam that had good reviews and it was awful. Third times a charm - went back to "springs and stuff" and it's a much better mattress. It was $5000 or more (don't recall), but it's been good for 5 years so far with no signs of sagging or wearing out.
Worth noting, prior to my 40s, I really didn't care. Now that I'm deep into my 40s, every second of quality sleep counts and bad sleep means achey neck and back and stuff.
Latex is I guess fine. I have no complaints from sleeping on it. But it is a bear to move. If you don't have a couple of stevedores in your household, good luck.
I had a mattress with polyester pillow top. Lasted 20 years. New mattresses all seem to be foam, and turn junky super fast. Sucks.
