A year and half ago my wife and i bought a Denver Durango Mattress (firm) that has not offered the support I needed. I have a bad back--lower disc degeneration and chronic back tension. So we bought a Sleep Better 2" extra firm foam mattress topper on Amazon a year ago and that did the trick for a month or two. Now I am waking up evernight feeling like I've been beaten by sock with a roll of quarters in it. My wife too. Basically, there are two hole where my wife and I sleep in the foam. I am about 220 lbs. I just came from vacation and slept on many different beds (including a cot in a dorm room), all of which gave me a decent night sleep! ACK! Anyway, my instinct is to just buy a thicker topper; the same product but 5" thick. But I have a couple concerns: 1. Allergies: We both have them and something hypoallergenic would be great. 2. Temperature: by most accounts, the foam affects sleeping temperature. Mostly, I am not sure what the right product is for me. I have narrowed it down latex toppers, the foam, and memory foam--is there another product I am missing? If I understand right, given my bed already doesn't provide enough support, I am thinking memory foam is maybe not the best idea. Does that sounds right? Is latex firm enough? I'd love any advice or pointed to specific products would be great. I think $300 is the max of our budget, but will take a serious look at anything. Also, I am open to MATTRESS VOODOO, so if there is some combination for products--from plywood to banana peals--that would suggest, I'd be very open. THANKS!!! |

HERE IS SOME ADVICE. Do not waste your money on foam toppers. the reason being is the foam will be firm and do the job for a lil while just like you said 2 months sounds about right and the wholes where you nd your wife lay are normal because of your body weight. foam toppers with do whatever your mattress is doing. and seeing as your mattress is firm the topper will be firm but since it is in fact foam it will give out. my advice to you is look into a different mattress. The thing you are looking for is the strength of the innerspring, which will give you a longer life span on your mattress, foam will not solve the problem. hope this helps. |
