Skinny chick here, too. When I bought my new mattress 2 years ago, the one I'd been sleeping on was so old (like, 17 or 18 years old) & worn out that I could feel the springs. I did some research, much of it on this forum, which is very helpful. I wound up buying a reasonably priced old-fashioned, two-sided (flippable), firm innerspring mattress. It's 9 inches thick. It sits on a wooden foundation.

The pillowtop mattresses felt great in the store, but I'd heard about them sagging and leaving body impressions fairly soon. So I bought the minimalist mattress with the idea of then having the freedom to experiment with toppers to adjust the comfort level as needed. It's much easier and cheaper to replace a topper or two than to replace an entire mattress.

I started out...

We have one of each of their models.  They are pretty good but in my opinion the plush is too soft and the regular is too firm so there is no place in between.  We ended up adding a latex topper to the standard to get right what we wanted.  There is a thin layer of poly foam on top of the latex under the cover though.  They are well built though and pretty economical.  The regular one had a 32 ILD and the plush model has a 19 ILD, 2" top on it....

There are a few <a href="http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/reviews/brand/68/original-mattress-factory/">reviews</a> but not much recent info.  Their web site says they use Talatech Latex.  Prices look pretty reasonable.  <a href="http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/any-experience-original-mattress-factory-latex-mattress/17485-A-1.html>This</a> thread has some information.  Perhaps you could describe yoursef and your sleeping habits and you'll receive some personal recommendation.

Hey MinnesotaGirl, did you check out the newly revamped Reviews section of this site?  They have a few reviews and some threads about <a href="http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/reviews/brand/68/original-mattress-factory/">OMF</a>.  The general advice when checking out a vendor is to look carefully at their return policy (is it comfort exchange, restocking fee, uncondintional returns) as well as looking at Better Business Bureau issues.  Also, Googling may turn up additional tid bits.  While Consumer Reports covers a narrow segment of the available mattress stores out there, they generally don't recommend total losers.  So I would give some weight to their recommendation....

Hi MinnesotaGirl,

I stumbled on Wat's Da Best while researching latex mattresses.  I ordered a Foam By Mail product (same as Foam Factory) for our RV that is 3 inches of "soft" Talalay latex estimated ILD was 20 to 24 at the time over 5 inches of their HD36-R poly foam base.  In our RV there is no room for a box spring so we're sleeping on a "board" but I was worried this 8 inch mattress would be too soft. 

Actually, it's slightly too firm, both the wife and I wake up slightly stiff and sore, like we slept on the floor.  I will try to fix this with a 1 or 2 inch layer of something softer; for example, Sleep Like A Bear's 14 ILD Talalay toppers.  I would like to add a nicer cover and make this our main bed.

Another thing is , what size bed are you looking for?  The layered latex beds take some work to put together, so for a Queen, you'd defintely want help with it.  All latex is fairly heavy and it's just floppy, no rigidity.  But in some cases it could be easier to move, like upstairs.

 

Read post above, but about the massive dip in middle of your bed ... if you can take a flashlight, look up into the foundation through the think fabric if you can.  You might find that the foundation is contributing quite a bit to the sag in the middle of the bed.

 

I bought an iComfort memory foam with 'Stabil base' fixed foundation ... in 4 weeks the surface rods were already bending mostly in the middle of the bed.  Some beds look good on the...

Agreed re: the pillowtop! They are good long enough to make it past the return date, then they crump on you.

My only advice is: Do not get a pillowtop. It will feel heavenly just long enough so that you can't return it, and then will start sagging and give you yet more backaches.

If you are looking for a good quality Latex mattress, you should look at the 2 offered by Original Mattress Factory.  They have a medium firmness one called "Latex Foam" for $1,749 for a King set.  Their "Latex Supreme" is soft & a King set sells for $2,299.  Like all Original Mattress Factory mattresses their Latex ones are also flippable, 2-sided, so they will last twice as long.

I was thinking of maybe getting their "Latex Foam" model because they say that the Talalay Latex is all natural from rubber trees & does not sleep hot like a Tempurpedic or other Memory Foam may.

...

I am considering buying a latex mattress from The Original Mattress Factory.  Does anyone have any experience with this mattress.  It appears to be constructed of all latex foam.

Thanks,

Colleen
