Everyone seems to be loving latex beds for pain relief, so as a side-sleeping, arthritic, fibromyalgia person I spent $2,000 on an 8" Plushbeds. My husband liked it right away but I had shoulder and back pain. Thought maybe I just wasn't used to it. Now I'm past the 100-day return, and I dread sleeping on this thing, it hurts so much. I'm spending more time sleeping in my recliner. Recently I went on a trip and slept in a standard spring bed and all pain is steadily decreasing. I dread going home to sleep on that Plushbed. It's like sleeping on a slab of wood to me. Am I the only one? The whole world seems to be in love with latex beds.

Which firmness did you buy?  There are 4 different levels of firmness to choose from--soft, medium, medium firm, and extra firm  Try giving the company a call to see if you can switch the Talalay top layer for one of a different firmness.  

The plushbed botanical bliss natural latex mattress consists of a 6" bottom layer of dunlop latex, which is a firmer latex, while the top layer (or layers) is a softer talalay latex.  The top talalay layer is the one that comes in different firmnesses and is the one you would switch.
