My wife and I have been using X-Firm Posture Select Talalay Latex since July 2005. She started complaining about neck, shoulder and back pain last year. Now in the past couple of weeks, I have been waking up with stiff right shoulder pain and like a knot in the upper middle part of my back that is between the shoulder blades. We use a Tempur-pedic foundation and I thought about the slats foundation. Not sure we like to have it bow and potentially making us roll towards the middle. I am wondering what we should be doing next. For folks that have moved from Talalay Latex mattress, what do you use now that you would recommend? Anyone with experience with Casper(www.caspersleep.com)? I think it would be similar to what I have now. |
| DBrickD. You have been sleeping on latex for 9 years and it went well until a year ago for your wife and recently for yourself. Most people here would say you found the perfect situation and something just wore out. 8-9 years out of a mattress is not bad these days. The big question I have is what wore out? The latex top or the foundation? What is the configuration of the latex? Mattdud. |

According to the current FloBeds website, I have the orginal Talalay Latex Select Mattress. It has 2 layer of core which I have selected as XFirm. It also has a 2" comfort pad and the 100 percent Cotton & Wool Cover. I took the comfort pad and cover off for a couple of nights and I was back to no acheness. But the wife is still complaining about neck and shoulder aches. I did notice there is some breaking down of the comfort layer. I am going to call FloBeds to see if I can get a new comfort pad layer. |

Interesting segment on Casper about 40 minutes into the Sunday, November 30 episode of Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN. Quote: Anyone with experience with Casper(www.caspersleep.com)? |
