First time purchasing a mattress (leaning towards memory foam)
I've done a little research, but still very new to the "art" of buying a decent bed. Almost bought one of s-brand ones, but canceled it after doing some research. The only hesitation I have about memory foam is that I am usually pretty sensitive to hot temperatures in a mattress, and also I am about 110 to 120 lbs, which I also read may give me some issues with high density foam. Any recommendations from people about where I should even begin with my search? Brands and models of what I should purchase would be extra helpful. Thanks |

I have the stearns and Foster Ultra firm estate series (the new and improved S&F). It's really firm. My wife (about your size, and prefers soft )could not take the firmness of it. However, she loved it with the 3" soft memory foam I was referring to earlier. But of course I didn't like the memory foam, so like I said, we're switching to latex. In other words, I think with the right softness of latex/foam you could probably handle an ultra firm mattress. |

I layed on the S&F Ultra firm and it was very solid. I knew that it would be too firm to sleep on as is, but the luxury firm might have been okay for me as is. Aspear, maybe you need to make the topper different on each side? Might be kind of wierd, but memory foam on 1 half and latex on the other half. |
