If you don't have a Consumer Report you can read it at the local library.
You/we need to keep in mind that a primary goal for consumers reports is minimum cost. With a mattress for example the less expensive choices will be one sided. Being able to flip the mattress over will result in longer useful life. It may not be worth the extra cost if you are buying a mattress for a guest bedroom.
