the bed was $1400 or so with foundation before so while not getting white glove is an issue the overall cost deal is good...

give it a while to find out if you like it, my problem is i only give each bed a couple weeks but by then i might be in real bad pain...

right now the latex from costco, on the firmer side, is working ok...they do sleep warmer than foam, for sure...

the foam bed has a plushness to it that latex doesnt have, the tempurpedics are the ultimate...if we could all afford it, we could all buy the high end tempur bed with the ergo adjustable base, it would eliminate all back issues created by beds

all you would have to do is slightly adjust the height of your feet or upper torso to eliminate the pain...i may end up with one if my other attempts fail, i dont...

I had the same impression.  I really liked the feel of the memory foam on top, but overall it was too firm.  Not totally sure why, since 4" of memory foam and latex should be about enough.  But, as you said the...

If you seach on Emma, you might find some info.  Randys, tried it and liked it, and he may repurchase it.

The Celeste is a bit higher end because it has 2" 5lb. memory foam and 2" of latex.   Based on that, I am not sure why it seemed so firm, but it did to me.  The latex must have been dunlop, which can be...

I would be concerned about the 13" Ara as well.  It seems like it has too much memory foam to provide enough support. 

The Celeste is a pretty firm mattress.  I tried it and think it was good quality, but too firm and thick for me.   If you want firm, it is not bad. Some of the other reviews at Costco also said it is very firm, so I don't think it was just me.  It might have softened up a bit over time, but I did not want to wait.

The 10" is probably in between the other too in terms of firmness....

Just ordered the Emma before the sale...

Looks like the 10" is called Emma. Any first hand accounts of this one? I'm still unsure of a memory foam only mattress, but also know I would not like a latex only mattress with its described bounciness.

The Celetse did seem like a good comprise, but being too firm is giving me pause, especially since I don't weigh much. But I could always put softer topper to get it to where I want right? Or would that be too high and weird?...

sorry for the delay - don't visit the forum consistently. It did not sink in 7 inches. The Ara had 7 inches of memory foam. We had both the mattress and the foundation. I liked it more than my husband because I don't sink in as much. When you first sit on the mattress it feels like a rock, then in seconds it sinks in. For my husband he felt like he was trapped. He only weighs 160 lbs. We didn't get it for any specific back pain reason but several aches and pains while sleeping, hips, numb shoulder, pressure points....

Update to Celeste:  it's been 5 nights of sleeping on the Celeste since switching from the Ara.  It's weird, the first night was ok,  the next four nights have produced sore backs and my RIBS hurt.  This mattress is like sleeping on a slab of granite!.  I'm willing to give it a little more time. However we have been sleeping through the night so the "jury is still out".  The latex and PU foam in the Celeste must be very firm because the visco memory foam on top is lovely.   I'll let everyone know if/when we throw in the towel.

we purchased the Ara about 3 weeks ago and have requested a return because it is too soft for our backs.  While it feels great and wraps you in a "cloud" our lower backs are hurting because it must lack support that we need.  We almost bought the Tempurpedic deluxe model at three times the cost, really!  Maybe you get what you pay for however that is a lot of money.  So we have decided to try sleep science's other model, the Celeste.  Supposedly it is firmer.  I hope that we are not wasting our time.  But as you know Costco does have a great return policy.  We are hoping for the best,  the new mattress should be here next week!...
