My mattresses
(2)x4"twin x- long Foam by mail Lux-HQ(base) 112.00ea (2)x3"twin x- long sleepeze taladay(middle) 220.00ea (2)x2"twin x- long sleepeze taladay(top) 147.00ea (2)xterry cloth mattress cover from foam by mail. 60.00ea (2)x twin x- long wood frames from amazon.com 119.00ea I constructed 2 twin x- long beds.
We started sleeping on these mattresses in March 2010. It is now May 2011. Initially I felt the bed was to firm. Like slepping on concrete. But after a week, or so, my body adjusted. Now, I have no complaints. The bed sleeps fine. From the first night wifey had no complaints, and still has none. I go to sleep and wake up glad that I have the bed that I do. Sleeping on a cloud? I just know that when I go to sleep it is into oblivion. The "sleepeze taladay latex has performed as advertised, as has the "foam by mail" Hq-Lux. No aches no pains. Im 6'1" 200lbs(back and side sleeper). Wife is 5'4" 140lbs(stomach, back and side ) Latkat This message was modified May 14, 2011 by Latkat

| Thanks much for the report. I am curious to see how long the HQ base holds out for support in your core layer. But at $112 each this is pretty cheap to replace and so it's not a bad option since you got a good year out of it already and it may last another year or so. Please let us know if it gives out on you, or give us a report again next year, whichever comes first! I say this because I have used HR foams for a core and found they gave out after about a year. I did not use the LUX though, so it may be more durable. |

It is my intention to report back after another year. But so far there is no indication, whatsoever, that the lux foam is going to give out. It is very stiff. If you lay on it only, there is a very tiny amount plyability. I wanted to see what it would be like as a mattress by itself. But I soon gave up, as it was just to stiff for me. One would really need to crave a very stiff sleeping surface. I lurked on this board for a considerable amount of time, as well as other places, before chosing my set up. I was very inerested in having a good bed, and at the same time wanting to spend the least to aquire it. Thanks everyone, I've learned alot from this board. Jim socal, your ideas about mattress surgery came as Eureka moments for me. Probably because I hate being at someone elses mercy. It is an empowering idea. Thanks. Its even ok that I get strange looks at family meetings when I bring up the topic. Probably the same looks Id get if I announced I was going on a moon walk. Good day all. |
