I am a 100-105 lb side sleeper.  I have successfully used a 3" 4 lb.memory foam topper on one bed and  2x1" 14 ILD talatech (sleeplikeabear) on another bed.  I needed to use half of a wool comforter on top of the latex to get the right softness but you are a little heavier so would likely do the trick for you.  Both will off-gas for awhile.

You lost me you have one mattress with memory foam topper and one bed with 14ILD topper.  They you use 1/2 of a wool comforter on top of the latex.  Do you mean you double the comforter over itself?  Which bed do you sleep on.  I just wondered what actually works.  I thought you used the Dormeir?  I am confused

Such a good reason to why these companies should not be relying on these ridiculous 50% off sales.  And isn't that the scary thing, if they can sell something for 50% off and still make good profit.....that tells me that the 50% price is really just what it should have been priced from the get go.  Shifman is supposed to make a top notch bed, so I think you did well and got what you wanted :)

Thanks for the replies.  I have purchased both a fiberbed topper and a memory foam topper  to see which one helps. Memory foam does sleep hot, which is a concern, but whatever works right?   This concept of having to put a topper on a mattress is really foreign to me, but I get it since it is so hard to find the right one.  Tonight I will try the fiberbed and will report back!

Hi 

I ditched my problematic Kingsdown and bought a Shifman Renoir.  It came yesterday and I slept on it last night.  This morning I woke up with my left shoulder and arm completely numb, usually a sign for me that my mattress is too hard and aggravating the pressure point.  Now, I know it has been one night, but I am nervous that it is too firm, despite this being their softest mattress.  So, what do I do to soften this up if I continue to have shoulder pain? Do I get a latex topper or feather/fiber bed and which one, from what company? I am fairly small at 5'3 130 pounds.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I am upset that now I might have an uncomfortable mattress and hard time sleeping.

 

Thanks

Amy

thanks gunman. Tonight I want to try (again) to sleep on the mattress w/ just a sheet. No hot latex, no pieces of old PU topper..because once again bouncing around and lying on it when I just took everything off it...it feels nice! It feels like it should be fine to sleep on.  I want it to work.

Do you mind my asking what it was about your new mattress that you and your wife hated for 4 months?

Hey Gunman, regarding your previous comments about the new mattress being tight and softening up.

I just got my current mattress about 2-3 weeks ago. It's a beautyrest shakespeare collection plush globe. (I know, I know, the names don't mean much, but thought it might possibly help you get an idea). It does not have a pillowtop. It says plush but oww, it's not plush. As usual, lying around on it at the store it felt fine but get it home and try to sleep on it, hard as a board. I'm on a latex topper now but that makes me hot so the saga continues..

My point is that previously I had an older BR mattress that also started out hard but eventually became a really great mattress.  That was around 15 years old so it was a good one, it was 2 sided, shiny...

I second a latex topper, however I'm not an expert like these other folks on "ild"s or whatever, I went with one labeled "soft" as opposed to firm and it's great. But be forewarned, memory foam and latex can sleep very hot and that's the battle many of us are now fighting w/ our foam toppers (myself included, I'm trying to solve the sleeping hot problem now.)

Very sorry about your new mattress causing a numb arm. I had one like that ..it was a nightmare..side sleepers have a lot to contend with.

P.S. I am the same height/weight as you.
