Flobeds or latex experts - need help by friday
|
After much researching and reading this forum for the past couple of weeks we've decided to buy our latex mattress from Flobeds. But they are having a sale on the natural latex beds going on that ends Friday (tomorrow!) and I still don't know what combination we should get. If I want to take advantage of this I need to act fast. I know about the return policy (that's why we're choosing them) but I want to make the right start. I have two major questions: 1. I understand that natural latex is superior to blended. My husband is 220 lbs and I worry about him bottoming out on a 9" mattress, but the 12" mattress in natural latex is more than we wanted to spend. So if our budget forced a choice between the 9" in natural and the 12" in blended, which do you all think would be the better choice? 2. I need quite a bit of firmess for my back and am tempted to go all firm even though I'm not heavy (135 lb). But I also need pressure relief for my joints. Which combination of layers would give me more support and pressure relief: two firm layers, or an extra firm topped by a medium? Any and all insight and opinions are welcome - I'm really having a hard time with this. Linda |

Thanks all, I ordered my mattress this afternoon. Natural Latex, F-F-X (or F-X-F) for me, F-X-X for my husband. You were right - Dave was happy to talk through various options to accommodate my fused spine. I was skeptical since in my experience most sales people won't stick their necks out to make a recommendation once you mention a medical issue. But I got the distinct impression that I'm a very long way from being the first customer with back problems he's ever dealt with. I'm feeling pretty good about this. I initially balked at the price, but then I realized that this will probably be the first mattress I've ever bought that won't be a waste of money - I can fine tune it to get it just right, but if I really can't make it work in the end all I've lost is shipping costs. I've been searching for a good mattress for a long long time, and I feel like this may be just the thing for non-standard people like me. Linda |
