Mattress Forum

  I'm new here, I just signed up today. I live in the Boston area. I'm a student and I just don't have all time to read through the several posts

  here, my apologies in advance to those who are offended. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  So, I have a huge need for a new mattress and I was thinking Latex is the best option. I have been through 3 different mattresses in just over a year. I really

  need to sleep consistently 7-8 hours/day without tossing and turning. It's been incredibly frustrating. I had back pain several times and spent too much money

  for inadequate mattresses.

  Some facts:

  Weight: 175 lbs (note: I workout, so I might gain another 10-20 lbs)

  Side to stomach sleeper

  Size: Full

  Firmness: Not too firm or too soft

  Budget: up to $1000.00

  Can someone please help me out with selecting a Latex mattress? Should it be all natural 100% or a combination of natural and synthetic? Is purchasing online

  the best way for Latex and if so, what sites are recommended? Is the difference between Dunlop vs. Talalay significant?   

  Note: I did try a Latex mattress for the first at Mattress Giant. It was the Embody by Sealy, specifcally called the "Insightful". It felt great and the latex pillows as well.

  Unfortuantely, the saleperson did not know the compostion of the mattress.

Thanks,
