I think it really helps to think of the "support layer" (the actual mattress, not including pillowtop) and the "comfort layer" (the pillowtop or other cushion layer on top of the mattress) separately.    After our old plush pillowtop mattress started sagging in the middle, we bought a new Simmons Beautyrest Classic plush-firm mattress, but there was nothing plush about it.  It was *really* firm when we actually slept on it all night.  We added a 3" soft latex topper, but even that wasn't enough, and I had shoulder and neck stiffness in the morning.  We almost exchanged the mattress for the plush version, but after testing it out in the store, we realized the plush mattress was just going to turn into our old mattress in a few years, so we added a second topper instead.  We decided on a 2" convoluted zoned memory foam topper for $80 and...

I'm glad I found this site.  It's comforting to know I'm not the only one having problems finding the right mattress.  The long & short of it is that I'm trying to find a memory foam bed with no or little toxic fumes.  Here's my story:

 

We slept for 13 years on a Simmons Beautyrest.  Only in the last year we would both were waking up sore so we figured it was time to change.  I researched & tried several mattresses.  Ended it up picking the Ava (tight top, plush firm) from the black label collection of Beautyrest (also called Carmen in some on-line stores).  That's really the one that seemed the best to us.  When we first got it it seemed softer than at the store but still comfortable.  Unfortunately I got it only a week before going on a 2 weeks vacation.  My comfort guarantee...

 Here are the list of latex layers - Four layers of 100% natural latex for unsurpassed comfort: Layer 1 – 1” 19 ILD natural latex – soft layer Layer 2 – 2” of 24 ILD natural latex – medium layer Layer 3 – 4” of 32 ILD natural latex – support layer Layer 4 – 3” of 24 ILD natural latex – medium layer Two mattresses in one!

Hi all, i've worked in the bedding manufacturing industry for 16yrs now. If you are purchasing a latex topper to create a plusher sleeping surface, make sure it is an ECO certified (100% natural rubber) latex topper. Generally 7.5cm thick will re-invigorate an existing mattress that is too firm, while a 5cm topper will adjust the feel slightly. The thicker option is best suited for individuals that side sleep, while the 5cm is suitable for "all-rounders" (ie, ppl that sleep in all posi's- side, back stomach, semi-stomach). Your existing latex block will last up to another 20yrs if it is 100% natural latex rubber (ECO certified), however beware- if your latex does not have an outer covering it will be prone to excessive UV exposure which will accelerate the oxidisation process (natural decomposition of the outer block- yellowing/flaking), at very least cover it with a fitted mattress protector (cotton or...

Lots of good info... so here's my additional 2 cents:

• Foam is all about bubbles (called foam cells) when they are new mattreses, there wil always be a "conditioning" or break-in process... give yourselves anywhere from 3-6 weeks regardless of latex or memory foam.
• Latex, while still derived from the sap of a rubber tree (unless it is a blend which is chemically the same thing, just manufactured, not natural)
• When lying on your side, you typically have a hip and shoulder depression that will sink farther than your waist, head and knees
• If your body "sinks" in all the right places to make your spine rest in a relatively "straight" line (assuming your pillow is the proper pillow for that mattress)
• I have been teaching people for over...

Thanks guys for the feedback.  Yeah - about synthetic/blended latex - I learned the hard way that it's apparently as bad, perhaps worse, than "conventional" foam - at least for me.  It was a highly disappointing experience - since all of the propaganda on latex mattresses somehow led me to believe that there wouldn't be those problems.  I somehow thought that the latex would be a stable material that wouldn't offgass - boy, was I wrong.  It was quite unsettling to discover that the odor was similar to gasoline (even "non-sensitive" family members noticed the gasoline-like odor permeating from the boxes when we packed the latex layers back up to return them).  

What's more - I think that latex may be worse than conventional foam in some ways - in that it seems to be a less stable material that, in the ever-continuous process of breaking down,...
