Dunlop-processed natural latex can be SUPER firm and supportive.

 

Sometimes if you get it too firm people say it's like sleeping on cement. LOL.

I find that a medium firm Dunlop latex piece is very firm but comfortable, especially with some medium Talalay latex on top of that - so like 4-7" of Dunlop on the bottom, and 2-3" of Talalay on the top.

There are companies out there selling mattresses like this that offer comfort exchanges during a 60-100 day sleep trial. I would recommend this. But they're not cheap. Flobeds uses all Talalay I think but it also can be very firm. The one I am looking at is from plushbeds. A sleep trial is essential when trying a latex mattress in my opinion and both these companies offer that.

Europeans used to use a lot of...

Smoonly, a picture doesn't help much. You also need to be more specific about what kind of mattress you are looking for and if you have any sleep "issues" like bad back, or anything.

Many people here recommend latex and I am one of those.

There is a mattress I am looking at at plushbeds.com called the Botanical Bliss. It is pure latex with cotton and wool and has a 100 day sleep trial. I am not promoting the company nor have I ever ordered from them but I know a lot about latex mattresses and from what I can read on their site it looks like a winner. Flobeds is another recommended company with a great exchange policy to help you get it adjusted best for your firmness.

Those are my recommendations without any specific info from you.

Right!  These foams can be hot.  What did you sleep on before? 

Tou might be able to find a local mattress maker that makes them with better components.  

Latex is generally not as hot, so that is better as the comfort foam. 

Firmer tends to be less hot, because you sink in less and are less surrounded by the matress. 

Also a layer of wool can help regulate humidity/moisture which also sleeps cooler. 

If you add a wool filled topper, that can make it a bit cooler and strangely enough a bit firmer (especially if it fits tight).  Or wool filled mattress pad can help as well.

My husband and I also bought the Macy's MemoryWorks mattress along with the worrynomore plan in January 2011! I am terrified because we just noticed mold  Apparently the plans covers up to 10 years, so if you all could please pray for me and my husband, I would really appreciate it. Any word on a class action suit? I can't believe this. I am in shock.

We've been sleeping on the same old crappy cheap extra firm $99 4-5 inch foam mattress for Ikea for over 10yrs. Since we were young, we never noticed the difference. Now we are in our 30s and value our sleep more than ever and want to make sure we do it right. After visiting Raymour and Flanigan and Macy's and being hounded by the pushy salesman who make telemarkets look slick we are a bit confused to say the least. We tried iComforts, Beautyrests (Black series) that felt decent in the showroom and other Sealy/Simmons/Hotel Collection beds as well. We also tried a firm latex mattress. Lying there on a matress in a showroom for 5-10 minutes I feel is inadequate to judge durability, comfort down the line and quality, specially when those sales clowns are breathing down your neck. I've decide to turn to the internet. What we are...

I'll try to make this short-

-couple in our mid thirties

-slept on firm foam cheap mattress mostly (currently have a 13 year old simple $99 foam mattress from Ikea, possibly about 5 inches)

-bed is a slotted platform bed

-no back problems

-both side sleepers

-prefer to sleep in a 'cooler' bed that allows heat to dissipate

I don't think we want a spring mattress, memory mattress sounds more appealing except we'd be worried about overheating in bed. We recently bought an Otis Pulsar memory foam mattress for our futon in the spare bedroom (http://www.amazon.com/Otis-Pulsar-Futon-Mattress-Contour/dp/B004P6T6MI) and so far it has been great but we have no idea what else is out there and how to compare it. We did walk into Raymore and Flannigan and were a little taken back by the plethora of mattress...
