Latex topper on traditional spring mattress
| Let me start out by saying that my wife and I spent several weekends trying out king size mattresses at various mattress stores. We found several that we were happy with, but they just didn't quite do it for us, not to mention they were all well over $2000. We finally stopped at a City Mattress and loved the all latex pranasleep, except for the price tag. That was way out of our league, but that pretty much ended our mattress search since we didn't want to settle on something when we knew we loved the latex mattress. Sleep EZ seems like a great alternative, given all the great reviews on here, especially since I would prefer my side a little firmer than my wife's. However, we noticed in one of our recent Costco coupon mailers, a traditional King Sealy Posturpedic for $659, which includes the box spring. Can't beat the price, but I haven't done my research on the bed yet, so it might be a piece of garbage. For now, let's just assume the bed is a decent bed. How would adding some sort of latex topper to it compare to a 100% latex mattress? |

Re the air mattress, I had this same BRILLIANT IDEA. The problem though was that when I researched it, I saw that the regular air mattresses have just terrible reviews and don't seem all that durable - air leaks for example. Lots of reports of beds that collapse in the night. Or slow leaks that you may not notice if you have a guest sleep on it just a few nights every now and then but you would notice if you tried to sleep on it every night. You're talking about inflatable beds, right? those ones that are about $100 and some dollars? The Comfort-Aire type air bed seemed a little bit more durable and I like dthe idea of the air bladder you could replace when it wears out..... but then you're talking $1000 plus.
So, I think if you are looking for something that won't wear out, your thinking that an air mattress is durable is actually a false premise. This message was modified May 4, 2012 by Kashkakat
