New bed on the horizon.
|
I have been lurking on this forum for about six months, since my wife has agreed to a new mattress set. We bought a Stearns & Foster pillowtop eight years ago. Needless to say, the pillowtop has cratered on my side of the kingsize bed and my wife's side is only marginally better. We are heavier than any of the people that have posted their weight on this forum; I weigh about 360 lbs and my wife is about 280 lbs. I am strictly a back sleeper while my wife sleeps primarily on her side, although she occasionally sleeps on her back or belly. After reading the forum's posts, I intend to try a natural latex mattress from either Flobeds or Sleepez. The question is whether my wife or I will bottom out either the Sleepez 1300 or the 12" Flobeds. Although I have read plenty regarding the superiority of the Flobeds cover, the savings from sales tax and shipping, make Flobeds far more expensive (use tax aside). While I have made the case to try latex, especially mentioning the return policies, my wife is skeptical because the S&F mattress was also very well researched (recommended by Consumer Reports). Naturally, my mattress credibility is on the line. Anyone have any thoughts on the latex alternative considering our weight? |
