I am 5'8" and 138 lbs, yet I prefer very firm mattresses. I currently sleep on the floor on a comforter over a thick piece of cardboard over berber carpeting and sleep well. When I had a mattress, I hard a rock hard one and liked it. Since I prefer very firm mattresses would it be a good or bad idea to go with a latex mattress with one of the three following setups:
Setup one: - top: 3" Dunlop 35 ILD - mddle: 3" Dunlop 40 ILD - bottom: 3" Dunlop 44 ILD
Setup two: - top: 2" Dunlop 36 ILD - bottom 6" Dunlop 44 ILD
Setup three: - top: 3: Dunlop 36 ILD - bottom 6 o 9 inch very firm innerspring mattress
Maybe I think I like something that's actually bad for my pressure points and alignment? Maybe I'm fine now but in a few years I'll develop a very bad back due to using a very firm mattress for my height and weight? This message was modified Nov 29, 2012 by jzt83

It's safe to assume that your comfort requirements will change over time. I would not ignore issues you notice as they will progress. Perhaps you need to try some options in stores or at friends to be sure you are not missing some comfort. GK |

Only two stores here that I know of sell latex mattreses. I tried the OMI Lago, and it was decently comfortable, but a bit too plush and way too expensive at $4000+. I know sears sells a few overpriced low quality latex/polyfoam mattress I might try out but will absolutely not buy. This message was modified Nov 29, 2012 by jzt83

I have tried lying on a talalay latex pillow, and noticed that it felt like it was pushing my skull a bit too hard in spite of the foam being soft. I do worry about latex mattress pushing back causing pain and muscle tension. |
