Search Results For "Comfort Sleep Systems Posture Foam"

Here are (quite) a few manufacurers and outlets in the "general" LA area. Some of these have very good value ... at least the equivalent of what you could purchase online ... and some of these would make great testing grounds so you would better know what to buy online. Some of the manufacturers on this list may be too far away to visit in person or only manufacture for retail outlets and some may not make all latex mattresses (website is not specific) but I've included them as they may be worth a call to see if what they make is available close to you.

Los Angeles probably has more choice in latex than any other city so I hope this is not "overkill". It's not even a complete list but I've added a few comments to each.

There are so many here that at...

In my own foray into buying a mattress, I learned a great deal from internet research but it had little context until I had lain on some mattresses with known quantities (specs) that i could compare in "feel" to what I was reading in my research. I truly believe that without this ... using the local outlets as research labs ... I would probably have "guessed" wrong and had to do a layer exchange ... or worse (my mattress didn't have that option and I would have had to return the whole thing). I would also have been happy if a local outlet had offered similar value to what I found in my research and bought from them... but it didn't happen that way :)

So ... in the hopes you have tried out a few latex mattresses and have a rough idea of the layering you would...

Simmons seems to have it backwards...

Most of your body weight is in your lower torso area. Because of this your hips (on your side) or your rear end (on your back) will tend to sink in more because of that weight. Most zoned support systems (either coils or foam zoning) will usually put MORE support there to stop them from sinking in too far and putting your spine out of alignment. Simmons puts less support there so your hips or rear end would sink in more and the waist or lumbar area where the greater support is in this zoning scheme would be supporting more of your weight. This certainly isn't "normal" for most body weight distributions and even if your spine is in alignment this way, the small of your back (lumbar area) could be supporting too much weight. This is compounded by your weight and...

Here are a few from my list that may be close enough to warrant a phone call or visit. Some are custom manufacturers and some are retailers that carry a range of latex mattresses. They would give  you a wide range of "testing grounds".

I have read so many different opinions here and seen so many different approaches and levels of success with finding sleeping solutions that I thought I would try to sort of "systematize" the process and add some of my thoughts to the mix. I realize that everything here is simply opinion but FWIW.

It seems to me that if you look at all the experiences here, there are really 5 main components to getting to "your" best decision.

These are 1. Initial feel, 2. comfort and pressure relief, 3. Spinal alignment and support, 4. quality and durability and 5. Price and value. Each of these areas will of course affect the others but you can eliminate some of the confusion in finding a mattress by knowing specifically what you are looking for in each of these areas and knowing why different materials and methods have different...

The flobeds airbed seems to be one of the nicest I've seen .... and you pay for the niceness. I did a little research into airbeds before ruling them out for me and here are some of my thoughts.

First of all, this brings up the differences between active support and passive support.

Foam and springs (and even horse hair) offer more active support. Air, water, and various types of padding (wool, cotton, stuffed rags, etc), and buckling column gel are more passive support. There is a range in each category so it is not absolute. Active or passive is basically determined by two characteristics. One is how progressive the support is in the material (called comfort factor) and the second is how much the material bounces back (called resilience). It is also called "pushback". Other recent threads have talked about comfort factor and resilience is...

My partner has a spinal injury, 2 torn discs in the lower back, so we're investing in a new mattress (currently sleeping on a cheapo rubbish one).

We've discovered it's hard to find some real information on mattresses, so here's a few things we want to clear up:

1)We've been told that individual pocket springs don't last as long as other spring systems (this may be why so many users of beds with pocket springs complain about significant permanent impressions being left in the bed) - thoughts?

2)We've narrowed the beds down to a Simmons Backcare Elite, with zoned pocket springs and a latex/foam top, and a sleepmaker Chiro Gel 200 with zoned springs (not pocket), and a gel top.  We've actually been able to get a free 2 week trial of the latter bed, but do people have any opinions on the Gel...

I am new the the site, but love the concept of soo many reviews of mattresses in one place. Since I am a new mattress owner after having the old one for about a dozen years, I was surprised to see how much mattress changed over the years!

Well, after much homework at local and online retailers, we ended out buying from The Sleep Center and picked out the Anniversary model by Scandinaivan Sleep System was the one for us. This mattress is amazing, IMO, and I would suggest it to anyone that is looking for a new mattress. We bought the queen size set, with new foundation and box...along with pillows and sheets and a protector. We also had a great experience at that store.

First off, I'm no expert by any stretch of imagination; the little that I've learned came from this great forum. I don't believe FBM is a favorite at this forum, so some of the more experienced members may not be familiar with the specifics of FBM's latex. I have also went the FBM route due to a limited budget.

 

"What are the advantages of going with the 3 pieces as Freedom1955 did and is it worth the added cost?  If we went the 3 piece route, should we maybe go 6" 36 ILD, 2" 32 ILD, and 2" 20 ILD?  Again, thinking of moving down to 2" of the soft layer since we are stomach/back sleepers?  But moving from a thick featherbed, should we go with the 3" for the plush feel?"

I've been told the advantage of keeping the top layers less...

First post, great forum here with lots of information.  I've been reading for hours and feel I'm ready to post to get some advice specific to me.

About us - me, I'm 6'0" 170-175lbs, 38 y.o., mainly a stomach sleeper but usually flip to my back at some point during the night.  My wife is 5'0" 110-115lbs, 36 y.o., mainly a stomach sleeper, but also flips to her back some.  We both occasionally deal with low back pain usually brought on by our workouts.  We are sleeping on a 14 year old el-cheapo king inner spring mattress we bought early on in our marriage.  We have a very thick feather bed on top of our mattress.  My wife has been having pretty bad back pain lately, so I started our mattress replacement search.  One thing that helped us both last night is that I flipped our mattress for...
