Flobed firmness for stomach sleeper
|
I will be calling Flobeds soon and discussing my options, but thought I'd find out if anyone who has one is a stomach sleeper? I prefer a soft bed, but need some firmness because I sleep mainly on my stomach, and occasionally on my side. When I "made" my bed on the Flobeds site, it recommended soft over soft. Is this really enough firmness for stomach sleeping? I'm also curious about the zoned mattresses and will also explore that option. I know it's going to be a matter of my preference, just wanted to hear about some other's experiences out there. Thanks! |

| Thanks for the reply...some more info on me: I am a 5'6", 135-pound female. DH is 6'4" and about 230. We are currently sleeping on a Serta Perfect Sleeper that is 10 years old and the springs are shot (verified through my "mattress surgery" yesterday), so the mattress is sagging in the middle considerably. I have back pain when sleeping on the sagging mattress, but we did a temporary fix last night by building up the box spring with blankets folded up and placed vertically along the middle of the box springs. Clearly not ideal, but I am desperate for better sleep, and this morning I did not wake up with a back pain. |

| I would think your husband's side would need to be much firmer than yours. Otherwise, the firmness calculator is not perfect but it's a good starting point. I actually think the best idea is to call Flobeds and discuss your situation and concerns with them. They have more experience than the rest of us on this forum put together. It's all exchangeable/returnable for 90 days, so take a stab at it, if it isn't right, exchange a layer until you get it right. |

I agree with Kimberly. Your husband will definitely need a much firmer side then you will. He is a large man and can probably benefit from his side being all extra firm. With all FloBeds the top most layer ( the fourth layer in the bed) is a convoluted single piece of what really boils down to about 1 inch of very soft Talalay. They call it 2 inches but since it is convoluted it becomes a 1 inch pretty quickly by laying on it. Kimberly's advice about calling FloBeds is your best bet. |
