Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
|
Ok, I bit the bullet and ordered the SleepEZ 10000 and returned the Costco Comfortluxe. I am a bit nervous about ordering a mattress without having tried it! :) However, what I really liked was Shawn even suggested I spend LESS and buy the 8500 model because "you just don't use more than 5.6/6" of foam." He said that until the mid-80s all the latex mattresses were just 6", but since then people think more is better. I ended up choosing the 10000 because of bed sheet fiting, Shawn said that sheets can be a bit of a pain to get for the thinner mattresses nowadays (Sheets are made for huge beds now) So despite my nervousness on buying something sight unseen, I just keep telling myself all the wonderful reviews I have read here about the service level with Sleepez means it should be ok! :) (i hope :) ).

Novahelp, I admire you for all of the time and effort you have put into this. I would have given up long ago. You really must be exhausted from so many uncomfortable and restless nights. However, the glaring problem to me in all of the configurations you have tried, is the 3 inches of soft foam for your comfort layer. It's too much in my opinion -- and I think in the opinion of most people on this forum. As a last ditch effort why not go to Target, or Bed Bath and Beyond or somewhere local and buy a 1 or 2 inch thick memory or other foam topper and try it on the firm set up you just mentioned. I would get a couple of different options (a 1 inch AND a 2 inch,) since you can return either or all of them if they don't work out. I think it would be worth trying before throwing in the towel and resigning yourself to a $400 loss. |

A couple days ago I tried to place both of them on the medium-firm-Xfirm latex combo on the weekend and it was yucky (I don't like memory foam due to the trapped and high heat feeling, i really like latex). But, heck what the hell right? :) and yes, I am just tired. I can't get more than ~6 hours a night now... and its been months like this... :) |

I know what you mean about memory foam, I've decided I don't like it either -- it's just that it is so easily available. But you can probably find a regular piece of foam or PU foam topper to try instead. Then if that works, you could exchange your 3 inch soft layer for 1.5 inches or 2 inches of latex. Good luck. |

I dont understand what you are saying to test? 2" memory foam medium firm x-firm I don't have a soft layer to exchange because I am not using it in the above configuration. |

Yes: the above configuration with either 2 inches (or even 1.5 inches) of memory foam or PU foam. The soft layer I'm talking about is the one you still have from Sleep EZ (unless you already sent it back) which you are not using in this particular configuration. You could keep the medium, firm and x-firm and exchange the 3 inches of soft for a thinner piece of latex to use as a topper. Make sense? |

I only paid for 3 layers, you are thinking of their 13000 which is 4 layers of latex which I didn't buy... :) |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
| Novahelp, you had a soft layer in your configuration quite recently. I did not realize that you had sent it back. Since you have been mentioning soft, medium, firm and extra firm, I thought you had four layers to play with... |

I want to just go get a spring bed and get a latex topper. Your suggestion would end up costing me more money to continue this experiment. After two nights now on the medium-firm-xfirm my body feels like it has been beat up lol! I don't think a 2" layer of latex is going to be able to counter that...

Well, I just got my spring mattress. Placed a latex layer on it, and FINALLY this seems to be what I need. Dear god, can this ordeal finally be over!? And, how the hell do I get the latex topper layers back into those boxes?! Help pLease! |

Novahelp, Do you have split cores or full cores? If they are split, then put each one in the bigger bag it came in (should have come in 2 bags) and have someone hold it has you put the vacuum nozzle in it to take the air out which will shrink the latex core significantly. Then tape that up before air gets out to put inside the smaller bag to tape up (buy packing clear tape) and put the cores inside the boxes they came in with the return labels SleepEZ should send to you. I found a UPS place near me so I no longer do pick-ups and I have someone place the boxes in my hatchback/liftback and the UPS store's guy takes them out for me and sends the back to Flobeds when I am swtiching out layers. When I had a lot of boxes, I called UPS and they came by and picked up everything since I went with much firmer latex layers. I know you are just returning everything to SleepEz. I hope the restocking fee is not too high. That is why I went with FloBeds also since I hate restocking fees and the price of my bed when down enough during the 90 days with all the specials that I got it fro the same price as SleepEz with no restocking fees. On the bright side, you found out you like a latex topper so that is good to know and it sounds like your new bed's set up will be just for you and you will be happy. Please keep us updated. |
