Questions re platform for latex, springs under latex, etc. - please give your opinions - jimsocal
May 24, 2010 12:09 PM
Okay, my mattress is just not working out for me and I'm re-thinking it all. My recent trip to my sister's home where I slept on a "regular" mattress for 2 nights and woke up with NO back pain, is making me realize I need to make changes. (I discount the theory that it was better just because I was "on vacation" because actually it was a stressful situation.)

I'm going "back to basics", trying to think outside the box springs.( I know - bad pun.cheeky) Especially those of you who have had or do have springs under your latex, please opine:

1) What is the best platform for a latex+springs mattress in your opinions?

Currently I am using a Sealy box springs (about 8 years old I think) which is made with some more-or-less heavy gauge wire on...

Shawn recommended F/M/S so I went with that, but I just spent some time on a ReNu bed (latex layers on top soy foam). I was told it was medium firmness, and it felt perfect. Not too hard, not too smushy with plenty of support. They had one firmer and one softer, both felt wrong to me.

The salesman couldn't tell me anything about the firmness level of the latex, which there really is NOT much of anyway, but this, plus reading of other people's recent latex bed purchases, I'm wondering if I would be better off with XF/F/M. This is the natural Talalay, btw.

I'd be interested to know how others were able to choose what was best for them before trying, and how they fared.

I have no interest in returning the SS bed because I like the support it provides. Plus for 10in of Latex it pretty much doesnt get any cheaper.  Going with a SS from costco + 700 dollar topper = 1950 bucks for a cal king.  Going with Flobed 12in or SleepEz 13000 = 2400-2900 for less than 13in of latex, and I won't have the benefit of a Top layer being Celsion (Im a very hot sleeper).  If I decided to go with RMM instead for the 3in topper it becomes even cheaper for a 13in full latex bed with pure dunlop support and a talalay top.

Hi Jim,

Just read last few entries of this post.  I have lower back lumbar issues from injury, am both a side and back sleeper and have been down a $5-6k road of mattresses, latex and MF toppers from Foambymail.com, overstock.com, and Sleeplikeabear.com. 

Sorry for the rambles but don't want to spend the time to make this a treatise.

The back/side sleep and lumbar problem seem nearly insurmountable.  Add to that, for me, Mem foam sleeps hot, and while it feels good at first when I lie on it, when I sleep on my back, I wake up in severe pain.  I interpret what happens is that my back "feels" that my butt is not being supported, so it "works" to hold up my butt and is tired as hell when I wake up... in agony.

So,  I have been trying to...

The Amazon plush was waiting for me when I got home. It's definitely more comfortable, more cushy, than the so-called "firm". But, I still don't think it's right for me. 

I would compare the feeling of these pillows to resting one's head on a balloon. The plush is not inflated as much as the firm was. But, who really wants to sleep with their head on a balloon?

Also, the odor these pillows have, while faint, is not like a natural odor. It strikes me as more of a synthetic smell. Which makes me wonder if it's 100% natural talalay, as advertised.

I came across this forum about four years ago.  I couldn't convince my wife to go Latex then, so we bought an expensive S-brand spring mattress and have been miserable for the last two years.  Now that she's laid on a latex mattress and likes the feel, I've been trying to get back up to speed.  I think I've convinced myself and her to go the DIY route so that if we don't like the feel of the mattress initially, we can change layers until we are happy.  I refuse to pour thousands of dollars into a mattress (or mattress components) again that is inflexible and short lived.

Questions:

1. I'm not keen on anything that will have a shortish life, so nothing but latex for the base/core.  Is foam by mail the best...

At the moment, I'm considering a 2" thick piece of 32 ILD natural talalay latex (from Sleep LIke a Bear), topped with a 1½" or 2" thick dunlop topper (around 20-24 ILD), perhaps from Overstock. I'm hoping this will treat my back with respect, while offering some surface comfort. I don't want to end up spending $ 600 to $ 800 on this project.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks for your support.

You could also look at SleepEZ for your talalay latex. Their 2" 32 ILD All Natural Talalay layer is $325 and it's made by Latex International.

If you can go with blended Talalay, they have a very sweet deal on the 2" 32 ILD Blended Talalay layer for $240.

Shipping is $49 per order (not per item). You...

My Experience Buying A Latex Mattress 

After hours of Internet research, reading retail and manufacturer sites, over a hundred forum posts on the topic from consumers, and talking to three of the leading (non-chain) latex mattress retailers, I bought a latex mattress yesterday, put it together and had my first night’s sleep on it. A sports injury is keeping me in this weekend so I thought I’d save you many hours of research by detailing my search.

Why should you consider my advice? (1) I am a marketing professional from an industry unrelated to mattresses (and therefore able to recognize and cut through much of the marketing hype) (2) I am an obsessive researcher (3) I have a talent for sorting facts and getting to the bottom line, and (4) I’ve owned futons, spring mattresses, a water bed, and an airbed (and can...
