Here's an earlier post of mine:

"If you are committed to making latex work (durability, comfort, anti-allergen) you may want to try the masochists route and build a zoned mattress, starting with a topper. My 3"/36ILD Talatech has arrived but still haven't unpacked it and replaced the temporary 3" PU piece run latitudinally in hip region. The PU has worked well--absolutely no lower back pain for 2 weeks with present set-up (4" roughly 20 ILD for legs/shoulders and 1" 20 ILD over 3" guesstimated 33 ILD PU for roughly 3' hip region). It's not rocket science. IMO, this is how latex mattresses should me constructed. Being able to vary the sides is nice, but offering variable support for various regions more important. In fact, I would bet that a king mattress consisting of: 10 strips of 3" x 14" x 80" and 2 strips of 3" x 10" x 80" of...

While it is possible to increase the firmness a bit with a slatted bed (actually only relatively speaking since do so by decreasing firmness of shoulder region), I believe that with a 6" core MequonJim is right. Core too soft. This is a common latex problem for side sleepers since roughly 40% of body weight at hips, so they really sink into softer cores and shoulders/head floats. OTOH, if core too firm, then pressure points. Some may just be better off with a firm, underpadded coil mattress, and a separate latex topper to soften.

That's what I was afraid of.  As I had said, I don't want to feel like I'm sleeping in a pit.

Let me ask the following:

1) What would the effect of 4" of 5.5 lb memory foam over a 6" latex core be?  Has anyone tried out anything like this?

2) I saw in some other posts about people ordering memory foam components and enclosing them in a costco "cuddle bed".  I thought you had to be almost in direct contact with memory foam in order to benefit from the temperature sensitive qualities(i.e. just a thin mattress pad).  The cuddle bed has a 2.5" pillow top...does this, or similar padding, defeat the purpose of memory foam?

3) As I mentioned in my first post, Costco sells a "sleep science" ara memory foam bed that has a combined 6.5+" of 5.5lb memory foam.  Wouldn't this be way too much?  I had been thinking about...

The description sounds like a lot of high quality foam material for the price.

I didn't see any Customer Ratings at the Costo site.

We're always looking for a cost effective alternative to our prized and very comfy waterbed so I guess our main curiosity is how well the materials remain in a like new status after a couple of months and then between six months and a year.

Best of Luck - hope the mattress retains its' comfort and structure....

I plan on keeping this post updated as time goes on, with my weight the foam will be getting a good workout!

This foam bed is great so far but I still want to try a latex mattress sometime.

I do have a couple of the latex "ultimate" pillows that Costco sells on the way to try those out.

I used to love my old water bed from years ago, unfortunately they fell out of favor and now it's difficult to get a complete set up. Around here (Los Angeles) I remember when we used to have several locations that sold nothing but water beds, now there aren't any to be found! Although, I did find that Sams Club still has a few water beds available online (http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?catg=6932). Of course these have gone way up in price like everything else!

I couldn't find much information online about this mattress, but since it was from Costco I decided to give it a shot. I figured I'd give a little review of it so far since no one seems to have purchased one so far.

The mattress is currently on sale for $1099 (queen size, normal price $1399) including foundation.

These are the specs from Costco:

• 13” pillow top mattress fits the dimensions of your bed
• Limited Warranty: 20 years
• Cover is bamboo fabric consisting of three layers.  This fabric is 300g/m2, the percentage of bamboo is 40%, nylon is 40%, polyester is 20%.
• Cover top layer: 100% bamboo fabric ...
