We are going to purchase latex from FBM! Just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on 2" vs 3" for our base layer -- foam by mail 32 ILD. Do you think we need one of those stretchy terry covers if it's going to go into our stearns and foster cover/exterior (minus that quilted top of course!)

Thanks!

I would think if you're sort of sinking right through it, that would be bad.

I tried a 2.5" Sleep Innovations gel memory foam topper from Costco for 1 night.  Geez, it seemed to fail on all counts.  I put it on top of my all latex bed, and I sunk pretty darn far into the memory foam topper.  I was too hot that night also.  And it wasn't very pressure relieving.  Reason I tried it is I put the all latex on a wood foundation with pine slats.  That really firmed up the mattress feel and was hammering my shoulder.  Turns out the latex faired much better on a good box spring.  Stearns and Foster box spings are pretty good.

FWIW, my Tempurpedic mattress warranty is 10 years full replacement and then 10 years pro-rated.

Well, I've been through a brand new Stearns and Foster (their entry level model), not comfortable by morning

a Serta iComfort Revolution, too plush, sunk in too much, brought on stiffer neck but taught me about memory foam pressure relieving capability

a SleepEZ 10000 - very good basic mattress, not a hint of smell, takes some DIY work to handle, it's latex rubber, so I can't say it's as pressure relieving as memory foam.... one caveat though -

Make sure you don't go too soft with memory foam.  I don't think it is good to sink into a mattress very much.  I bought regular Cloud and it's going well.

I've had 3 days on a brand new Tempurpedic Cloud -  I'm pretty sure this will be the keeper as in no more shopping. It was 76 F in room...

I know they put them on the Serta stabl base box spring foundations.  I had one of those foundations with my iComfort and the twin XL foundation had an 8" gap between vertical support rods all down the center of bed, head to toe.  There are a couple rods that run the length head to toe, but they have no vertical support under there.

If you're really keen, you can feel the foundation surface and tell the vertical rod pattern - There's a rounded edge that goes down to the cross slats.  If you feel a big gap in those rounded edges all down center of bed, I say it will sag.  You'll have to pull mattress off obviously and salesman might look at you a bit weird.

100% positive my foundation sagged about 1/2" right in the hips / butt area. 

Far as...

Here's my take on memory foam - if it's the right stuff for you, I think it's just about the tops in terms of pressure relieving ability.

Since May, I've had 4 weeks on Stearns and Foster Innerspring, 4 weeks on iComfort Revolution memory foam and 3 weeks on SleepEZ all latex.

Stearns and Foster Innerspring (entry level model) was supportive for sure.  The comfort layers compacted somewhat and it lost some reiliency.  After 4 weeks, it wasn't that great to sleep on all night.  Not so pressure relieving. Was ok but that's it.

With iComfort, I noticed pressure relieving capabilites of memory foam are for real.  Mattress was just too plush for me, sunk in too much, so that ruined the deal.  As mentioned before, the matching box spring was junk and then discovered it has more memory foam piled in than advertised. ...

Comparison between Tempurpedic Cloud and iComfort Insight, both with fixed foundation -

Tempurpedic Cloud twin XL - $1450

Serta iComfort Insight twin XL - $899

(I don't think all Tempurpedics are outrageously high.  The thick ones like Rhapsody are high, but I didn't feel I needed that)

-----------------------

iComfort Insight with box spring foundation - this is the standard foundation sold with most conventinal mattresses.  It's a series of vertical support rods and 'wire frame' at surface.  Mine had an 8" gap between vertical support rods all down the center, top to bottom of mattress.  There were rods between, but those rods dipped noticeably  all through the hips / butt area.  Mattress sinks too there.

Also, the iComfort on display at Sears Newpark had a box spring, but that box spring had the 'Sealy / Stearns and Foster'...

My Tempurpedic Cloud was just delivered brand new yesterday and I'm familiar with the Contour Select too.

The Tempurpedic Cloud came in a thick bag, and I noticed they had it laying flat on the truck as it is supposed to be.  It appears perfectly construced, and importantly, the layers of foam are the exact thickness as specified by Tempurpedic.

The Cloud did not sleep hot last night.  There was a little warmth as with most mattresses, but that's it.

There is a little odor from the mattress when I first walk in room, but it doesn't bother me.

The regular Cloud is supportive but soft at same time, and quickly contours.  When I turn a slight bit, it still holds me in place by contouring.  Most importantly, it doesn't have 'pushback' against joints that I really don't like.  Even thought the mattress...

After sleeping on the same mattress for about 14 years, I went mattress shopping today. I had no idea beds were so expensive.  I believe the last mattress set my husband and I bought cost about $600.00 and that was a lot of money.  I thought I had it narrowed down between the Tempur-Pedic Conture Select and the Stearns & Foster Foxbridge (there is only about $500 difference in the price  and money is an issue).  If I have to pay $2,000-$2,500 for a bed, I want a quality bed that is going to last me the rest of my life. (at my age, that is not unreasonble).  I came home and began searching the internet and found this website.  Like any other website, when I read the comments, I ended up more confused than when I started because for every positive comment there is a negative comment.  What I would like is any thoughts...
