Hello to all. I'm new to the forum and I hope I can get the info I need to purchase a soft and comfortable sleeping mattress that will last for at least 10yrs. I don't have a lot cash right now, but I need a new mattress now. I toss and turn for about 6hrs (no kidding) and sleep only 2hrs. I have a beat up old innersping that gives me terrible back pains. I have tried mattresses in stores and it seems the softer the better for me. Is it possible to get a very soft latex king bed for 1,200? If not, what are my alternatives? BTW, I'm in Shreveport, La no luck locally, so I'm looking for internet stores if at all possible.
Thanks. This message was modified Mar 21, 2011 by need2sleep636

Need2sleep,
I built the bed in stages, ordering a piece, trying it, then ordering the next piece. I did have a mattress I was trying to copy however. Sorry if my previous post didn't make sense, I got the ILD's wrong. (I now have 3" firm base 36, 6" medium 29, and 3" of 19.) I started with the 6" core. It was too soft for support and too firm for the top layer. I added the 2" celsion and got the feel I wanted, but was stil bottoming out--my wife found this perfect for her size, 130 lbs. If I had an ajustable base I probably could have made it work. So, I ordered a 3" firm piece for support. The firm piece add an extra dimension of "depth" to the feel of the bed. The 2" Celsion is not much different compared to the 3" of ILD 19. The 19 has a similar feel and a similar "mushiness", it is just, a tiny bit, firmer; but, since it was three inches, instead of 2, the difference was negligible(the extra inch made a big difference)--my wife couldn't tell the difference. My wife and I both like the envolped feel of the soft latex, but the mattress cover made a larger difference than to the feel than the difference between the 15 and the 19. It was simply a cost matter. The 3" piece was $150 less than the Celsion. So, we sent it back. This message was modified Apr 3, 2011 by jeff8407
