P.S. I've slept in hotels like the Westin in their "Heavenly Bed" and quite frankly have slept fine in either instance...

I'm not a mattress expert, but I did do enough research prior to buying mine (as I do with any big purchase I make). Just look on the internets for mattress reviews and you'll actually find a pretty good amount of info regarding which ones have been well reviewed or ones that provide the best value for your dollar.
What I found from researching was that an uncomfortable mattress may not wake you completely up from your sleep, but can bother you enough through the night (leading to repositioning, etc.) that you don't end up getting a full 7 hours or whatever it is you sleep.
