Mattress you would buy with $5k budget that isn't real money

I'm in the market for a mattress. We got a pretty inexpensive off brand"bed in a box" about 5 years ago, I think somewhere in the $400-$800 range and it was okay (just okay) for a while but now I really don't like it. The current one is medium firmness with a pillow top; I really want something that's more firm and no pillow top. It's been losing firmness over time and I have to rotate it frequently because a pretty big dent appears where my hips are and it takes a long time for it to go away.

We own a business and one of our suppliers has a rewards system that gives you points you can spend on their website, on all kinds of things. But a new part of this is that if you make special arrangements, you can spend the points on things that are available elsewhere, not on their website and I want to use some to buy a decent mattress. It's hard to say how our points equate to dollars and I can't spend all the points on just myself but based on points value vs dollar value of other items on the site, it looks like I likely have about $5k to spend here.

Unlike with actual money, there's no incentive to not spend the full budget, the points are not redeemable for cash and if you don't use them by a certain date they disappear.

If you had $5k to drop on a mattress in the contiguous United States, what would you buy?

I do have a Costco membership if that helps.
