flippable inner spring mattress
|
So I think I am going to give up on my SleepEZ mattress. No matter how I configure it and top it, it still feels too soft in some positions and too hard in others. Guess I'm just not an "all-foam" bed guy. So, what I am thinking is, since I have some nice latex layers, I'm gonna buy a firm, durable inner spring mattress and top it with a layer of latex. To increase mattress life I want one that I can flip from time to time. So the question is, can anyone recommend a brand? Firm, good springs, flippable; essentially a foundation layer for the latex. Thanks. Steve |

Dear Steve; The price for the DUX bed is INSANE! Good news....I did a search online, FOUND A BEDMAKER IN SEATTLE, and THEY MAKE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!!!!! Zipper top, flippable, coils depend on your size, comfort level, etc. Seattle Mattress Company, 6019 15th Ave NW, Seattle 98107. Phone is 206-632-2240 I just spoke with Corey and I think you'll find what you are looking for. BTW, their prices are REALLY GOOD!!!!!!! There are different springs..but basically they are Bonnell coil(the original and most common), the Offset coil(newer, some think it is more supportive, I have one) and the Pocket Coil(individually wrapped coils, all separate, aka Marshall unit). Look at this site to see what's out there http://www.beddingcomponents.com/default.htm Typically what happens in an innerspring bed these days is there is SOOO much foam on top of the coils, that is what you sleep on. It also breaks down quickly because typically it is PU foam. PU foam lasts 3 months for me and I'm half of your weight. So, when people throw out their new or almost new mattresses, it isn't typically from the springs sagging, but the foam crapping out. Anyway, I hope you get this before you invest in a DUX bed. They sound like a real gimmick...playing on people's instincts to throw too much money at a problem to get a solution...and they don't deliver. Let us know how it goes.... Kait |

Kait Thanks for the heads up re Seattle Mattress Co, I will check them out. Altho I havent totally given up on my latex bed yet, I'm still considering adding latex and / or memory foam toppers to replace the cuddlebed and wool that I have now. Also, re your comment that its the foam on a new mattress that wears out, yes I know thats why I said I was looking for a flippable firm inner spring mattress. I may never flip it but flippable usually means less junk per side... Steve This message was modified Apr 11, 2009 by st3v3k4hn
