For the experts in opening up your mattress - question
|
I read the posts on cutting your mattress open to see what the foam layers look like, replacing them, etc. One question: how do you close the mattress back up once you replace the foam layers? Related question: I see people advising one to purchase a firm mattress with minimal foam layers and adding your own foam topper - this sounds dumb, but how do you "enclose" that topper so that it doesn't slide around on top of your mattress? Thanks |

Leo, the CuddleBed is more than just a "mattress pad". It's even described as a mattress TOPPER on the bag it comes in. It's definitely not like your basic pad, even the ones with a lot of loft. Myself, I don't feel the stitching. To me it just feels like a plush topper over my foam topper. Two different textures, but both good. Like I said, you've simply got to try one for yourself. You can't lose anything. Just return it at your local Costco. I know you said you don't like that store....but you're going to drive yourself crazy asking us the same questions over and over. :) In the words of Nike---JUST DO IT! <grin> Leo3 wrote: Have you washed your cuddlebed? I have a top loading agitating washer, so it might be a problem. It almost sounds to good to be true if it doesn't add to the pressure point problems. I found the 4 mattress pads I tried did pull because it didn't fit the whole bed, so you had to pull it. Do you feel the boxes and stitching? I am like the princess and the pea. I feel everything. I am afraid to try another sounds to good to be true mattress pad  <BR><BR>I have 1" memory foam on top, then the cheap polyurethane 1 1/2" layer, then the Natura 1" latex. Seems like that should be good. But maybe I need to try the latex on top. The other problem I had was when I put the mattress pad on top of the memory foam it felt like concrete. |

You mentioned if you slept too long on your hip it hurt. Is that the way it is normally with the cuddlebed? The reason I ask is i have had no hip pain since I removed the mattress pad and use the memory foam on the first layer, then the PU foam on the 2nd layer, and then the latex on the bottom. BUT the shoulder pain is excruciating and I have to make a change! Why can't I make this work? I am going to try latex as the second layer, and if that doesn't work I will try the cuddlebed. BUT I know if I put something over the memory foam it willl make it concrete. |
