Filliam,
Trust me... I know exactly what you mean when it comes to a performance guarantee. This is one of the reasons we're looking at a memory foam mattress. They seem to have a better warranty than an equivalent innerspring mattress.
I'm also considering buying the absolute _firmest_ non-lush, non-pillowtop innerspring mattress I can find - we're talking the firmness of a plank or concrete- and then buying a very high quality, appropriately thick topper. That way, the springs will last a very long time and I'd simply replace the topper as necessary.
This is the method used by Duxiana with the Dux bed. They sell a mattress with incredibly sturdy springs and then you buy the topper of your choice to use with it. As the topper ages and degrades, you replace the topper. I learned then when looking at mattress in 2008/2009.
My wife isn't keen on the idea. But, don't think it hasn't crossed my mind.
