Can the folks here with lower back issues chime in with how they've gotten back to restful sleep? I've read through several pages of the postings here, including the "mattress surgery" thread. But I'm trying to keep things simple, and I'm hoping that I can get a general "go with this route" consensus.

Thanks in advance! It took a while to find this site, but I'm glad it's here and that there's such an active community! :-)

It seems to me very few people who've come to this forum have liked their Tempurpedic. There apparently are those out there who do but my guess is that people with lower back pain do not. I myself tried one and did not like it, it does not give proper support in my humble opinion.

What works?

Maybe nothing... That is, after having been in several accidents,...

I thought Vera Wang was all synthetic latex?

You asked about mattresses that were latex that you could try locally.  There are Natura organic mattresses that are recommended by Budgy (our resident mattress saleperson/expert) as they don't have any PU foam or Boric Acid).   Not sure if you have a mattress store that sells them nearby.  Not sure of return policies.

Do you have a Savy Rest nearby?  Google them for locations.  Some people like those.  At least with those you can change the layers around, but you can return it.  You can only exchange Dunlop for Talalay, no returns.

Thanks for your help, budgy. Dp you have an opinion regarding which is better: The Euro slats and a less foam or regular slats & more foam? I really, really only want to buy this bed once and the more I read the more confused I become.


I have been researching this for over a year now, so how confused can I be now?  Even more, surprise

What is really perplexing is why some people love their latex, and others can't stand it.  The other factor after using blended talalay (pretty sure anyway) is it is now softer than it use to be.  Some pieces are over 1 year old, others are several months old.  So I hit bottom on my spring mattress, and that...

lol, your laws in the US are no more protective of false advertising and/or exxagerated claims.  what Essentia is selling is a slow response latex foam that mimicks the feeling of normal memory foams.  kind of what Latex International (US company) called NuForm.  I agree that their product shouldn't be advertised as natural, heck I even see they are now calling it 'organic' which is a joke....but still....there are Essentia stores in the US using this language...it would be nice if there was a more strict standard on what you can legally call natural or organic.  3rd party certification is still the biggie there...

Looks like ive been requested here lol.

There really are a variety of different base options that you can use for a latex bed.  Slats of some kind whether they are completely solid or flexible is preferrable for the airflow alone.

Adjustable/flexible slat's are even better, and the very best would be dowellings with some kind of adjustable suspension underneath.  There are lots of different ways you can build this style of base.  Some of them allow for the actual tension in the slats themselves to be adjusted, or even completely removed.  Some rely on the slats doing all of the bending where as others would prefer to use a suspension underneath slats or dowels to provide the flex.  Its all based on proper ergonomics principle, for truly optimum posture and pressure relief down the length of the body you 'might' need more than just vertical...

Hi Leo,

I'm sorry for the delayed response – I haven't been on the forum in a few days. I thought I'd answer your questions on the public boards in the event my answers are helpful to others.

My Flobeds' Euro Slat foundation was indeed a Queen size. I didn't notice the bar in the middle, but it was beneath 11” of latex and I'm relatively light. However, when I set up the two sides of the bed differently in terms of latex layers/ILD and happened to lie across both sides of the bed (i.e., with one part of my body on one side and the other part of my body on the other side), I couldn't feel the different ILDs on each side but I woke up in major pain. The...

"The Natural" Organic Mattress from SleepEZ - pryncesslia
Apr 21, 2010 12:23 PM
I am just doing the final bits of research before I buy, and emailed SleepEZ with a few questions about their "organic" latex mattress. Their answers provided info I couldn't find on their website, so I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else is interested.

 

The organic mattress line can come with Natural Dunlop or Natural talalay.
If you order the Dunlop each layer is 3" total 12".  If you order the
talalay latex each layer is 2.8" total 11.2" actually.  Then you add the cover with
quilting and finished product is about 13".  Our Talalay Latex comes from
Latex International and the Dunlop Latex we purchase from Sleep Comp. They
supplies us Latex from Latex Green who makes Dunlop Latex.

I would recommend you both start with...

Hi Leo,
I don't know about all the Vera Wangs. This is pretty close to the one Sleep Train carries, it does have some PU foam in it.

Natalie, are you sure you've exhausted all the combinations on the vzones?  I ask because I only have one vzone and I think it took me longer than 10 days to work through it. 

I have kind of the opposite problem from you - I need a lot of firmness for my fused middle and lower back.  A very firm mattress supports the back but makes my arms fall asleep during the night.  So I need to balance support for my back with at least some softness for the aging joints. 

I started out with a natural F/F/XF, which didn't quite work for me (too soft) and upgraded to the extra firm vzone, which Dave customized for me.  But after a couple of weeks of moving around the vzone pieces I was getting close to giving...

Bryan,

Whether Dunlop is better than Talalay or visa versa is individual opinion.  Some people say that Dunlop is the "tried and true" method of latex production, being the original process developed in the . .  .20s?  Also, some people feel that Dunlop, being denser than Talalay, gives more support for people with back issues.

On the Talalay side of the fence, some people say that the Talalay process is an improvement over the Dunlop process and develops a more consistent, even product, less prone to impurities.  Talalay actually comes in a wider range of firmness levels than Dunlop.  I think Talalay was first developed in the 50s.

For myself, I tried some Dunlop mattresses and did not like them.  I thought they felt "dead."  However there are several on this board who specifically sought out Dunlop and prefer it.  I prefer the springier, more resilient feel of Talalay.
