If you have one near you, I highly recommend The Original Mattress Factory. The big-name manufacturers all make 'individually wrapped coils' to make the mattresses 'conform to your body.' These coils are low gauge metal and wear out over time. The fact that they're individually wrapped means each coil is supporting weight on it's own rather than distributing the weight to coils that aren't directly under weight. OMF still offers 'real coil spring' mattresses where the coils are thicker and connected with wire to help distribute the load. The mattresses are also able to be flipped vertically. The best part is, the mattresses are typically hundreds or thousands cheaper than you'll pay for a 'name brand' mattress. What I like to do is buy a firm mattress and top with a separate pillow topper from amazon.
