Search Results For "Sleep Science"

Kait, I too live in No. CA, can I ask the name of your bed maker in central CA? Is it Bay Beds in Santa Cruz?<BR>thanks!...

Am I right in thinking that I may be well better off getting a cheap firm spring mattress with minimal padding (if such a thing really exist) and a foam/latex topper for it instead of a full foam mattress?...

Dear "9";
I agree whole-heartedly.  First, let me mention that my back issues are caused by the bed.  When I sleep on a mattress that has supportive coils I sleep well and no back pain.  Takes two nights max to be pain free.
I live in central CA and there is a bed maker fairly close by who makes his beds like you mentioned.  There is one in the showroom that has a Bonnell unit and a zippered cover so you can pick out/adjust your foam. This guy knows the ins and outs of mattress making.  He's built several for us over the years, and really stands behind his stuff.  I went through the buy-return-giveaway-mattress thing after the Tallalay latex mattress I bought from him(he still chides me about it, would have fixed it/taken it back in return even a few years after I bought it...where else can you find that?!)failed my...

That's what I was afraid of.  As I had said, I don't want to feel like I'm sleeping in a pit.

Let me ask the following:

1) What would the effect of 4" of 5.5 lb memory foam over a 6" latex core be?  Has anyone tried out anything like this?

2) I saw in some other posts about people ordering memory foam components and enclosing them in a costco "cuddle bed".  I thought you had to be almost in direct contact with memory foam in order to benefit from the temperature sensitive qualities(i.e. just a thin mattress pad).  The cuddle bed has a 2.5" pillow top...does this, or similar padding, defeat the purpose of memory foam?

3) As I mentioned in my first post, Costco sells a "sleep science" ara memory foam bed that has a combined 6.5+" of 5.5lb memory foam.  Wouldn't this be way too much?  I had been thinking about...

The description sounds like a lot of high quality foam material for the price.

I didn't see any Customer Ratings at the Costo site.

We're always looking for a cost effective alternative to our prized and very comfy waterbed so I guess our main curiosity is how well the materials remain in a like new status after a couple of months and then between six months and a year.

Best of Luck - hope the mattress retains its' comfort and structure....

I plan on keeping this post updated as time goes on, with my weight the foam will be getting a good workout!

This foam bed is great so far but I still want to try a latex mattress sometime.

I do have a couple of the latex "ultimate" pillows that Costco sells on the way to try those out.

I used to love my old water bed from years ago, unfortunately they fell out of favor and now it's difficult to get a complete set up. Around here (Los Angeles) I remember when we used to have several locations that sold nothing but water beds, now there aren't any to be found! Although, I did find that Sams Club still has a few water beds available online (http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?catg=6932). Of course these have gone way up in price like everything else!

I couldn't find much information online about this mattress, but since it was from Costco I decided to give it a shot. I figured I'd give a little review of it so far since no one seems to have purchased one so far.

The mattress is currently on sale for $1099 (queen size, normal price $1399) including foundation.

These are the specs from Costco:

• 13” pillow top mattress fits the dimensions of your bed
• Limited Warranty: 20 years
• Cover is bamboo fabric consisting of three layers.  This fabric is 300g/m2, the percentage of bamboo is 40%, nylon is 40%, polyester is 20%.
• Cover top layer: 100% bamboo fabric ...
