After much research (and reading posts in this forum!) we decided to replace our old "S" mattress with a latex model. I liked the product sold at Sleep EZ and Shawn was very helpful. We ordered the 10000 model (Queen size) with both sides configured Firm/Medium/Soft per Shawns recommendations. My wife is a side/back sleeper and is 120 lbs. I am primarily a front sleeper and weigh in at 150 lbs. I was initially concerned that a soft top layer would cause back issues for me but Shawn suggested that since I was relatively light weight the soft should be OK. I decided to go with his recommendations. We set up the bed on Tuesday and after 2 nights my wife and I were both pretty satisfied although I had a sense that it was a bot too soft for me. This morning I woke with intense lower back pain confirming my suspicion that I need more support. My wife continues to be happy with her side. So, I need to switch things up but not exactly sure how to proceed. Should I go with XFirm/Firm/Medium, Firm, Meduim, Medium? Something else? Anything I can try with what I have to get me through the next few nights? I plan to talk to Shawn to get his suggestions but since he already missed once I thought it would be good to get some other opinions. Thanks in advance for reading and any suggestions. |

Some have a higher tolerance level for home shipping and returns. slpngoc, ordering from a company via the internet or the phone was not my first choice, however, after trying several local mattress stores I was unable to find a mattress that I liked. In addition, none of them offered the generous return policy of SleepEZ nor did they offer the ability to completely customize the mattress to our needs. I agree that it was not particularly convenient, but we ultimately got a mattress that is perfect for us which would not have been possible if we were limited to local options. I think if you read through some of the posts here you will also learn that "laying" on a mattress in a store for a few minutes is not the same thing as spending a night on it. Indeed, I found that it took a full three nights sleep before I could determine with certaintlly if a particuilar configuration was going to work long term. |
