First of all hi everyone, I searched high and low for a decent mattress forum, and this seems to be the only one that is evn remotely active on a daily basis... so I look forward to joining and learning! :) Anyway I have just bought a Queen size (160cm) Natural Latex mattress from a German company with a very good reputation, translated product page here http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fravensberger-matratzen.de%2Fproduct_info.php%2Finfo%2Fp30_7-Zonen--b-NATUR--b--Latexmatratze.html%2Fcat%2Fc29_7-ZONEN-LATEX.html%2FXTCsid%2F981c80b2c2027246bb4ac62717096824&sl=de&tl=en Feedback here (it has an Ebay shop too, all 100% positive, over 23000) http://feedback.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=fair-shop1&&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&iid=200321338273&sspagename=VIP:feedback:2:de So I weigh 67KG (150lbs) and ordered a H2 after laying on a H2 single latex mattress in a shop (not the same one, synthetic) and it felt supportive enough... but the mattress company called me yesterday and told me that they would really reccommend I get the H3 version as they think the H2 would be too soft, especially as I told them I have a girlfriend too so the mattress would often be slept on by two people. The ratings for these are as follows:
I don't like beds that are too soft, I like some firmness and supportiveness but without feeling like im lying on a rock (I work in IT and get aches and pains on my body, hence wanting latex for the pressure relief)... but the problem is despite laying on a latex I have never slept on one, so am not 100% sure how to judge this effectively. So before I press the order button... would you guys say that it would indeed be a good idea to go a hardness grade up to H3 RG80 on a large natural latex mattress, if there are going to be two people sleeping on it? Thanks in advance for your kind advice! This message was modified Mar 14, 2010 by Richdog
