Help! I finally broke down and got a Talalay Nature 10" latex Bliss foam mattress at Sleepy's which I have wanted for a long time. I thought the 11" was very soft but online it shows the 11" as medium and the 10" as plush. I tried the 10" and it felt plush so thats what I went with. I am very disappointed because it's very firm. I have a bad shoulder and I cannot sleep on my side at all. Will it soften over time?  Is it worth it to buy the 3" latex  topper?  What's the point of spending so much on a mattress if you have to put a topper on it? Couldn't I have bought a  regular mattress and put a latex topper on it with the same result? Will sheets fit with the topper?  At the store they told me at first that the mattress would feel the same over time and the same as in the store, but now they say it will soften over time. I'm not sure what to think.

Thanks

Thanks for all the info and the site with the toppers. Now I can try to get Sleepy's to match the price, if not, shipping's free I'll just have to wait a little longer! Thanks again for the help.

I forgot to mention that I also wanted the Latex because of the adjustable bed which I wanted for reflux. I felt it would be better then a regular mattress on the adjustable and has a 20 year warranty. I'm good at haggling and got them down about $1000.00 from where they started for both in full size. Crazy huh?
