Re: How to soften my Shifman? - DianeK

I am a 100-105 lb side sleeper.  I have successfully used a 3" 4 lb.memory foam topper on one bed and  2x1" 14 ILD talatech (sleeplikeabear) on another bed.  I needed to use half of a wool comforter on top of the latex to get the right softness but you are a little heavier so would likely do the trick for you.  Both will off-gas for awhile.

You lost me you have one mattress with memory foam topper and one bed with 14ILD topper.  They you use 1/2 of a wool comforter on top of the latex.  Do you mean you double the comforter over itself?  Which bed do you sleep on.  I just wondered what actually works.  I thought you used the Dormeir?  I am confused surprise

Their description says:  "Latex International delivers their all new 3" Talatech latex mattress topper".

Talatech is theire flagship blended latex.  However, it is possible that the website is wrong.   I don't see any mention of Rejuvenite toppers on the Latex International website.  So, maybe a new product. 

My guess is that it is just the blended latex in a cover....

At one point I bought a memory foam topper from Costco and it was awful. I'm not normally sensitive to stuff but the offgassing was awful and I actually developed respiratory problems. Even after a few weeks when the smell had dissipated, I was still suffering. My SO has a very keen sense of smell and she was having difficulties as well. Returned it with no problems and the respiratory problems disappeared within 48 hours. Haven't had the same problem with other memory foam products. I have a hard time believing that the Foamex Aerus was as bad as the reviewer was making out but sandman is the expert here since he has a new one.

 

I also don't get why Foamex doesn't make it more readily available in the higher weights and thicknesses. I...

Hi All,

It's decision time!  I'll probably order tomorrow.  I have two configurations / stores to consider.  I'd welcome your thoughts on them both!  SleepLikeABear is more customizable, but their poor return policy still requires I pay their shipping to me, and a handling charge for every layer exchange (or return) - and only for 30 days. 

SleepEZ has 90 day returns with no fees (only $15 shipping each way for the first layer exchange), costs a bit more, and includes a nice cover 1" think wool cover, but there are only 4 ILDs to choose from and only 3" (they won't build with 2" and 1" for the top 3" layer for example). 

Same Talatech Latex from either store.  So, here's what I'd get with SleepLikeABear:

  1. 1" 19 ILD (14 ILD for my wife's side) - can

Ha!  That's taking the research to the next level!  :) 

On your other message, I wasn't planning on going with *all* FBM (just noting it was tempting).  All I was trying to decide was whether I wanted to use FBM as the base (to get twice as much base for the same money).  I think I'll go with it all from SleepLikeABear Talatech... 

I like your idea of getting just a couple layers to start, see how the firmness feels, etc.  Since shipping is free, I guess I don't have to...

Thanks for sharing your experience, jasesun23.  If I buy from FBM, I'm only buying the lowest level.  But if it isn't uniform and part of my back sinks in more than others, I'd imagine it won't be too comfortable?  Anyway, my bigger concern is whether this foam would end up sagging more or not lasting as long as a quality foam from Latex International?  I guess the real question though, is whether I should get the FBM to get 11" of latex or get it all from SleepLikeABear (Talatech) to get 9" of foam for about the same price (in other words, is 9" enough?)

Although I have to admit, I'd save about $450 if I went with FBM entirely for the mattress - and have 12" of foam (3" soft top, 3" medium middle, and 6" firm base).  The questionable quality has mostly scared me away -...

Hi All,

I'm close to making a decision (at least, I *need* to make a decision)...  Can you help with that decision?  First of all, which would you suggest - 9" of higher quality latex or 11" with more than half of that being from FBM?:

  1. SleepLikeABear Talatech (from Latex International) - 9" total (three 3" layers) OR:
  2. SleepLikeABear Talatech 5" and 6" FBM FIRM Talalay Mattress - 11" total

Price is about the same either way.  With the first option I get everything from the same source, but would 9" be enough?

Next, I have to decide the firmness of the layers...  My wife will want it a little softer than I will.  I'd like it fairly soft at least on top.  What should we go with for the layers...

Thanks.  We will keep the old mattress b/c we're upgrading from a queen to a king  :)  We're putting the queen in our guest room. 

I had no idea if getting the eggcrate was a good idea or not - I guess probably not (just saw someone else was getting it). 

I don't have a problem sleeping on my current mattress, my back pain is more from sitting at a computer desk all day than issues with the bed, etc.  We're looking at a latex bed just because we're upgrading to a king, and we think we could have a more comfortable night's sleep (perhaps less tossing / turning), and my wife does have some issues sleeping but I don't think it really has much to do with the bed. 

I did see a thread with pictures of damaged foam from FBM - that...
