Latex firmness selection
|
I'de like to make my latex mattress purchase from Sleepez asap, but am going back and forth with the firmness selection. Both are talalay latex.My two choices are s/xf/xf which is about 3" of 24 ILD on top of 6" of 44 ILD. The other choice is s/f/xf, which is about 3" of 24 ILD on 3" of 38-40ILD on 44 ILD. I am 6.1, 190 lbs and sleep on my side and back. I want a firm supporting mattress with some cushion on top. Any thoughts, thanks. This message was modified Aug 25, 2010 by Mike22

Frankly, I think it depends on who you talk to over there. One person recommended I get XF/F/M or F/F/M while another recommended F/M/S. I went against my better judgement and went with the second person's recommendation and I needed to do a layer exchange (it only cost me $30 in shipping). I'm now at F/F/M with a 1 inch soft topper and I think it's fine. (I'm 5'10" and about 180, but was a bit heavier when I got the bed). The 3" soft topper was just not supportive enough, and I woke several times during the night in pain. |

| I have a Flobeds mattress, so there is a 2" soft convoluted topper over the three 36 ILD layers. I did purchase a Sleepez mattress for my daughter, and hers is s/m/f (iirc) and it has a lovely bouncy feel that would be way too unsupportive for me . . . but she is fine with it. |
