The link above is specifically for their bed in a box (do yourself a favor and spend the time reading the 33 pages), and if you're over 200 lbs make sure it says "suitable for any weight range." For the OP, you'll see that some of the ones listed here are either comprised of poor materials or there are better choices for less money.

A word of caution, I'm normally an Amazon fan, but in this case I'm going to recommend against Amazon. Amazon's policy is that their warranty supersedes the manufacturer's warranty and most of the bed in the box mattress companies have a 90 or 100 day trial period if you buy direct, but if you buy from Amazon it's 30 days.

Last December, I ended up buying one of the talalay latex mattresses they rated "suitable for any weight range" and I'm extremely pleased. Normally, I'd post the manufacturer's link but their website is acting up.

I have an adjustable bed and purchased the bed frame from Costco. It was the Sleep Science Split King Adjustable Base and it was $1600. I'm a side sleeper and currently recovering from a dislocated shoulder so the adjustable bed has been invaluable for back sleeping.

Unfortunately, I can't give a direct link for a mattress as they got out of the bed in a box business. What I can help with is provide very helpful link on selecting a mattress and a little food for thought on what I did. Here is what I wrote back in 2018 summarizing how I purchased my latex base with a latex topper in 2017.

Very unfortunate they got out of the bed in a box business since it has been a sweet set-up with the high quality base and then matched the talalay latex topper to my sleep style and body weight. I ended up getting a king with a softer side for side sleeping and firmer side for back sleeping. Even bought two king size latex pillows with one being higher profile for side sleeping and one being lower profile for back sleeping. All in (mattress, topper, pillows, and shipping) I spent less than $1200 for something extremely customized, every component was premium, and way better than anything locally at 3x the price.

The good news is the mattress underground link will show you bed in the box companies that offer the same thing (quality base and topper to match your sleep style and weight).
