I'm about to lose my mind in a mattress search. 

I'm a bigger guy 6 feet tall 240lbs. (trying to lose some weight but thats a discussion for another time).

I've always been a tosser and turner in my sleep so its hard to say if I distinctly sleep one way or another. Sometimes I sleep on my back, sometimes on my side, sometimes on my belly. I usually wake up sleeping on my back.  I've had a lot of problems with insomnia and have slept on traditional spring mattress practically all of my life until a big move has me sleeping on a air mattress at the moment.

I'm looking to spend about $800 to $1000 max on a latex/memory foam and maybe a foundation. a Little more or less isn't necessarily a deal break.  I need to start getting some quality sleep.

 

I need some ideas about what others have put together.

I've thought about going the foam by mail route.

I'd really appreciate some input into what others have bought maybe even some links if availible. Describing what choices others have made.

I do know I have found the memory foam and latex mattress I've tried at the stores to be much more comfortable than the traditional spring matresses.

I do worry abit about Mem foam as I'm already abi tof a hot sleeper.

Any input or ideas wouldbe greatly appreciated

If I buy the Terry Cloth cover how many inches of Laxtex will it hold.  Not sure how think it is..

Also, when building a mattress using layers of latex.  How do you keep the latex lined up properly do you glue it together?

 

Thanks


Usually you can buy the mattress cover for different thicknesses, up to about 12".  Foam by mail has a cotton/poly one like that.  Their terry cloth only comes in 3" or 8".  I think sleepez has a terry cloth one that you can buy in 1" increments.

Don't worry about the latex staying together.  The weight and friction alone keeps them together.  If you put in a mattress cover, that will provide further support.
