2 days short of 4 weeks sleeping on the Serta iComfort Revolution, I'm positive it won't work out - too soft, hips,butt sink in too much, not good for back or neck. Tried the firmer Genius, but now, I'm not so impressed with memory foam as I am with latex. First tried latex at a local organic mattress store and was really liking the feel. Been looking at all the vendors of layered latex mattresses. I like SleepEZ's 'easier' prices and policies and Shawn was very nice on the two prior phone calls. So I'm rolling with his recommendation, a blended talalay 10000 in SMF. I'm hoping for a great mattress so I can write some 5 star reviews for a change.

Don't think I'll go with a euro slat foundation. I'm looking for a slightly used Stearns and Foster twin XL box. They are built better than the Serta and Beautyrest boxes. I still have the SleepEZ 10000 and it feel pretty good on the Serta iComfort box, but the box is a little tweaked. I'd just like a more solid box with a little spring to it. I'll find it. As for the 10000, I'm in pretty good shape with it. It's a wee on the firm side, so I can just try some toppers, or not. It's going ok. Things just went south for a couple days on that slatted wood foundation, eeeeek. |

To the contrary, I am going to look at Euro slat bed bases / foundations. Seems to make the most sense at this point.
I can't see using an ordinary semi flex box spring which is just a grid of rods at the foundation surface. Latex is much too soft to be supported by thin rods. This message was modified Aug 24, 2011 by slpngoc

Ok, so I assembled the Ikea Sultan Laxeby 'euro slat' bed base last night ($80) for twin. Has adjustable hip and shoulder firmness which seem to work in trying it out. It's laying on the metal bed frame at the moment. The bed base will fit onto the twin XL wood foundation, with mods to the foundation. Need to test it out a little more before modding the foundation. As for the latex bed, it is going quite well even on the lamo Serta Stabl base foundation which sags in the middle because there's an 8" gap between vertical support rods, right where hips would go. |

I gave it a few days sleeping on the Ikea euro slat bed base underneath the SleepEZ latex mattress. Unfortunately it didn't work out. The euro slats did firm up the feel of the mattress which is not what I wanted. Seemed like the mattress had a more 'dead' feel on the euro slats. I thought maybe the mattress couldn't breathe as well, but I don't really know. It just had more pushback in critical areas like my shoulder. I adjusted the sliders to almot full soft and was still too firm. Ah well, little money down the drain. I trashed the euro slats. So, I bought a Stearns and Foster box spring. Yeah, it's a wire frame box spring, but the vertical support rods are evenly spaced and I don't think the box spring will sag. So, I'll give a month on this setup and then do a mattress review. |
