They don't have them here. I've never seen one. (Probably because they don't comply with our laws.)
We have found that the bed our guests like best is an extremely firm bed with a 3" memory foam topper (Novaform) from Costco. Our guests always rave about it. Funny part is that we bought the new firm mattress because it was a specific mattress made for hotels/b&bs. But we were shocked when it arrived and it was as hard as could be. We were afraid that no one could sleep on it, so we bought the topper..

Amazing timing! After a year with it, I took the expensive 3" memory foam topper off my own bed just this morning! Pitched it in the trash. I decided that I hate it. Why would I roll over in the night and want the spot I just moved from remain as a hole in the mattress for a while?
I think memory foam is just a gimmick. It certainly doesn't support any better than regular foam rubber. In fact, it's
worse! What
I want is something that springs back immediately when I move.

Well, the guests rave about it. They keep on asking me about that bed and many have remarked on TA about it as well. I don't argue with them... super firm bed and a topper. How firm was the bed? I thought it was cinderblock covered with cotton batting.

And think how much MORE they'd love it with real foam rubber!
Yes, you can see I really hate that
memory foam. Eight hours a day for a year I devoted to the stuff. Some people have given less time to their first marriage.
But I've taken to heart your firm matress. That with a nice soft mattress topper should be perfect. Now, about that topper. Feathers? Cotton? Poly? Who the hell knows? Standard foam rubber seems so 1960, but may be the best way to go.

Watch for feathers or have an alternative, allergy sufferers may not appreciate the feather topper.
Personally I have a feather topper a good 4+" on a good quality mattress. Have been using that for almost 4 years after tossing the memory foam from Costco. I fluff the down/feather topper when I change the sheets, and air it out at least once every 8-12 weeks, washing it every other time. It wasn't cheap but worth it.
My plan is to offer feather, memory, and a hypoallergenic version, let the guests choose the room based on the bed.
BTW are you still loving the robe? and the Comphy sheets?
