Keep the Sealy - I assume it has the offset springs? If it's firm, I'd keep it and do mattress surgery on it. See the Highlighted topics at the top of the page....

Cloud and Eagle,

No, I do not currently work for the mattress industry. I'm recently retired after thirty-five years of running my own shop. After doing it for so long I can't help but still follow the industry and still have the vendor contacts I made over that time. Retirement is considerably more boring than I'd anticipated.

Cloud, I can only talk from my personal experience and sales over thirty-five years. It's true some people are dissatisfied with their mattress. Picking one is difficult. Often people do it incorrectly and this is a large contribution to their dissatisfaction. The vast majority of consumers, however, enjoy their sleep product for the amount of time they're supposed to. In a good quality spring mattress this is between 8-10 years. 6-8 is you and your partner are considered very heavy.

It's all about buying the right mattress for who you are...

Linda, I hope you can find a comfortable combination with flobeds.
The only thing I can think of is that you consider buying a piece of dunlop to just use for your top layer? If it doesn't work you can always keep it for padding  a guest bed or ?

I'll say this:
I could not sleep on my flobeds latex/memory foam mattress. I tried every combination and it just did not work for me. Great company though!

They gave me ZERO problem about returning it and I got my refund minus shipping in a timely manner. As a result I constantly recommend them to people even though it didn't work out for me. I guess that's what they have learned: that giving a good no-hassle return/refund is the way to get customers and gain customer loyalty and good word-of-mouth. I wish more companies would operate like that!

If they'd offer a...
Some Good Questions About Mattresses with Answers - Alexander
Sep 6, 2009 3:57 PM
Jim asked some good questions in another thread. Instead of Hijacking that thread I've decided to start a new one for the answers and discussion. Here's a link to the original thread: http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/mattress-surgery-performing-foam-ectomy-my-englander-mattress-w-photos/6161-0-1.html

Here's some of the questions regarding modern mattresses answered:

1) Is Stearns and Foster not owned by Sealy?

They are in fact. They do not, however, use the same coil systems, same foam systems, or the same construction. You are either certified to work on Stearns and Foster OR Sealy. You never make both. Other than the fact that they are often made within 100 yards of eachother and your money goes to the same company, they have virtually nothing in common from a feel or construction standpoint.

2) So you are saying that S&F and Sealy make their own coils, they are not manufactured by L&P?

The short answer is no, L&P does not make Sealy or Stearn's coil. The long...

budgy, what do you think about the new lien of Greensleep coil mattress? 


Compared to something like a Vi-Spring or Hastens there are pro's and con's.  Realistically the only part of the Green Sleep pocket coil beds that really takes any kind of initial body indentation is the top most sheeps wool layer.  Being that a Vi-Spring or Hastens is upholstered exclusively with animal and vegetable fibres...I could see them taking more of a body set...this may or may not bug people, I imagine for the amount of coin spent on them, it does bother a myriad of people.  Natural rubber does hold its shape well.  The good thing with the Green Sleep pocket coil beds is that after say 15~25 years you can simply replace the pillowtop with a new one, the spring core and base system should...

Re: 2" Latex Toppers at Costco, $99.99 shipped for Queen size - bobski

Jim....ever get the feeling your banging your head on a wall! Now back on topic ..I think that "Comfort Sleep Systems" may be the source on this Costco item. If they are then they do use Talatech from Latex International in their mattresses. I'm guessing this from the trademarked name "comfort Illusions" which is a name they use for one of their mattresses (oddly though this mattress is memory foam?). They don't show any toppers under products for sale. From Costcos' description this sounds like a very soft latex which is what I want for my "firm" Costco latex mattress. Bob...
We Just Ordered a SleepEZ - First Post - MissMac
Feb 25, 2010 4:21 PM
After finding and reading this forum for about 3 weeks, doing endless searches in the archives (btw,  the day after we purchased a Serta Opulence Plush king size) we ordered a king 13000 today from Shawn at SleepEZ .  We felt totally comfortable in our decision thanks to all the data I was able to glean from this forum.  I am so excited!

As a background, I am a 62 year old female, 5'9" and 175 lbs, my hubby is 62, 6'1" and 215 lbs.  We slept for 15 years on a Simmons Beautyrest.  I have had two lower back laminectomies and have a weak back that doesn't bother me too much in day to day life, but the mattress, with fox holes present now, has been giving my back fits for about 6 months. I wake up daily with a backache and while traveling, my back rarely hurts.

  A month ago,...

Recommendations on mattress firmness... - Sonnie
Sep 1, 2010 6:54 AM
My wife and I have just purchased a new mattress set from Flobeds.com and wanted to get a few recommendations based on our first week of sleeping on the new setup and other's experience with latex mattresses.

We previously had a Nautilus Duo-Flex King that was right at 20 years old and decided it was time to replace it, although a couple of years ago we did purchase 2" memory foam from Wal-Mart to see if it might help.  We liked the softness it added, but it also added heat... and really did not help with my tossing and turning all night long.  So... we decided to go with the Flobed systems since we can swap out until we get it right.

We started out with the following from top to bottom using the 2" Convoluted Pad on a Euro Slat Foundation:

I have a hunch.

I get back pain if I sleep on a too soft mattress. If as a guest, I am offered a mattress that’s too soft, I’ll opt to sleep on a carpeted floor. For side sleeping, too soft causes back pain due to not providing enough support to align the spine…hips sag in and the spine curves excessively.

Too hard also creates back pain, and pressure points can form at the shoulders. When the broader shoulders are not sufficiently cushioned, they cannot sink in to allow the upper spine to straighten in relation to the hips…this forces the spine to curve from the lumbar region to the shoulder, throwing the spine out of alignment. I'm a male with broad shoulders; I imagine a female with broader hips would create a similar issue. 

Read through the Vzone material on Flobeds and also 'zoning'...
