I don't want a pillow top mattress

Why don't mattress stores have regular innerspring mattresses (the
ones without the pillow/plush tops) in the stores for people to test?

There are only two mattress stores in my area, the only innerspring
mattresses they have to test out have those pillow/plush tops on them.
I don't want one of those, I just want a regular ol' mattress like you
could buy 20 years ago.

So I'm supposed to travel 3 hours roundtrip just to look (and maybe
buy) a mattress? Can someone give me some gas money?

I don't know what you have near you, but I've gotten two non-pillowtop
mattresses from Sears in the last few years, and I'm happy with both.
They actually had a pretty big selection, iirc.

Then turn the mattress over. There's no pillow on the bottom...

As far as Sears-- well, if you read of my experience with their
attempts over two years to give me the working central A/C I paid for,
you'd never set foot in a Sears again.

Oh, yeah, here's the link:

There is no "supposed to" here. You live where you live, and as far
as I know, nobody forced you to live there. Apparently one of the
disadvantages of where you live is that there aren't many mattress
stores. If you don't like that, you could move somewhere that has
more mattress stores. If you don't feel like it's worth it, then be
prepared to do 3 hour drives sometimes to get to an area with a wider
selection.

I did a quick check on Superpages and had 30 hits for mattresses within
15 miles, but just 6 hits for Mcdonalds (32 hits for Dunkin Donuts)
within 10 miles.

There must be a lot of people near you who just lie in bed all day, eating donuts.
