I desperatey need to buy a new proper bed. Here are my initial thoughts/stats:

have sleep apnea so I feel like it should be adjustable

side-sleeper 99% of the time

no idea about how firm I like or want

Wonder if it would be best to buy in-store so I can actually try it out, I'm having a hard time stomaching the idea of buying something online with zero idea of what it actually ends up like, not that anything wouldnt be better at this point than my current situation

I don't know if they are available in the us, and with the current tariff war they may not be worth it, but we bought a Canadian Douglas mattress about 5 years ago and it has been superb. Most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on.

It gets delivered in a box, and expands when you take it out. They have a trial period of 6 months, 9 months, or something like that. If you decide not to keep the mattress, they refund your money and rather than sending the mattress back they find a local homeless shelter or other charity to give it to.
