I can't remember what Custom Comfort mattress we have by name, but it's one of their midrange models. They make their own mattresses, so you won't get a Serta or a Sealy there. They're quite helpful if you call and ask. Just specify you want the least expensive one with no foam, just cotton. If you get a firm one and it's too firm, you can always add a foam or latex mat from Macys. I'm sure there are some internal differences between the mid-range and their high-end, but I think it mainly comes down to the existence and quality of the pillow top, and whether or not there's an extra layer of batting inside. They'll honestly tell you. Better yet, if you're in so cal, go in and try the beds.
And it's no scam. We have a Sealy Posturpedic for my daughter and it's just a POS in comparison. Our friends recently bought a Sealy mid-range and it's got these deep indents after just six months. There are other "old fashioned" mattress makers spread across the US, though the one I know of in San Francisco charges about twice what Custom Comfort does from what I could see.
Or like I said, if you wanna go local, copy down the specs of a mattress you like then play the stores off of each other. A mattress charging $1000 at the store usually costs them $250. If it's on clearance at $500, they're still making a huge profit so they all definitely have room to wiggle. It's the same with most furniture stores, except for, perhaps, Ikea.
