I think I want a latex mattress, and thanks to this forum I've learned about FloBeds, SleepEZ and FoamByMail. Unfortunately, there is no retailer nearby that sells all latex, so I can't be certain it is what I want and hopefully I won't be making a huge mistake. I've configured several beds at both FloBeds and SleepEZ, but they are all a bit beyond my budget (even the twin size, which is what I'd be buying). Add in the foundation, feet or frame, and.... no go. So I'm considering FoamByMail, but I'm not sure of the best way to build those beds. A 6 inch mattress with a topper or two? Or a couple-three 3" toppers? I'm thinking maybe I can find a twin futon or platform bed frame somewhere. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Before I bought my latex mattress from Flobeds, I tried some in different stores, and some did have that bouncy, springy feel, and I loved it. But when I got my Flobed, it does not have that feel. it actually feels firm, with just enough resiliency to give in the places it needs to give. It feels more like . . . lying on jello, if you can imagine pressing your finger onto a cup of jello. The jello is firm, but it gives a little to your finger pressure. Take your finger away, and it springs back up. My Flobed is firm. My current configuration is F/XF/XF (I keep forgetting what the fimr layer is, but the xfirm is 36 ILD) and hubby's side is currently XF/XF/XF. This message was modified Mar 19, 2010 by KimberlyH
