Mattress Forum

My thoughts on my 1000th post:

"I need to get a life!"

But no, really, I just need to get a mattress that works for me.

I started posting here about 8 or more years ago so that's only about 125 posts a year, though some periods I have posted more and some less.

My current set up is this, bottom to top:

Englander springs 12.5 gauge

1" HR foam medium firm

1" natural Talalay latex

3/4" mystery latex, probably Talalay maybe Talatech

And that's it. It still hurts my back after about 7 hours but that's the best I've had here at home for the past couple years. At one point I was only getting 4-5 hours a night so this is a big improvement. If I had $$, I'd buy some Sealy offset springs or some other type to replace the Englander ones which I think are too stiff for me. I'd still like to buy some super soft Talalay to try but can't do it now. I liked the bed my sister had when I visited her but she's too dang lazy to get the info off the label for me so I can call the co. and see what springs it has in it. I can't buy one like it because they only sell on the East coast/midwest.

This forum has been great for all the years I've posted here and I'll keep posting, it's just that I've been super busy with more pressing issues lately.
