After reading more on this forum. I see that latex seems to confusing and tempurpedics are expensive and they soften up. Many people here on forum are still "working towards a right latex firmness" This is very time consuming and and their is no indication that they ever will get a right combination of latex firmness" Also the latex seems to be "bumping against my body" Someone please tell me how can I get pressure relief if latex is pressing against my body? This habit of any latex to bump against you while you lay down on it seems to contradict the claim that latex relieves pressure. In fact opposite seems to be true. That latex creates a new type of pressure on your body. In regards to Tempurpedics one person said they are sleeping on a cloud. But that cloud only has 2.8 inches of special tempurpedic foam. Rest is polyurethane foam. The person said they are 6 feet and 2 inches tall and weigh 190 pounds. Other person recommended that I buy a high density tempurpedic mattress. But the same person who bought Cloud tempurpedic said all tempurpedic mattresses soften up. PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW CAN A TEMPURPEDIC MATTRESS THAT SOFTENS UP WILL SUPPORT YOU? I mean to say that if all tempurpedic mattresses soften up they will not be able to support you. And if they soften up, my body will settle to the bottom of the tempurpoedic mattress and I will be laying on their poly foam. Please someone tell me how is this any good? Plus the high density tempurpedic mattress cost a lot more.

That is a good post above, but around here in SF Bay Area, latex is sort of a 'no show' in the mattress game. Go to our biggest retailer, Sleep Train, you see one singular line of 'latex' beds, Serta Vera Wang which are *very* pricey, starting at $1695 twin XL set asking price. It goes up well over $3k in that line. Go to the next biggest retailer, Manicini's, they carry Englander latex. I haven't been impressed or convinced lying on them. Sears, Penneys and Macys, our major department stores virtually carry no latex models. Yes, Sears has a Laura Ashley they carry, but it is a convolution of a bit of latex and a bunch of other suspect foams. btw, the Vera Wangs latex never felt all that good to me in the $1600 price range. Felt too firm and lot of pushback.
So, I bought a Tempurpedic Cloud at $1450 twin XL set. Am I taking a risk with it being petroleum based and having a slight odor for quite some time? Yes I am. But I needed a mattress I can sleep on both sides on including a shoulder that will never be quite the same. And this Tempurpedic is all around better than 4 other brand new mattress tried in home this year. I won't be returning it and I see it lasting for quite a few years. That's my testimony to Tempurpedic. |
| I am unsure what you mean by bump against the body. Latex offers the ultimate in pressure relief. Ask how much latex is inthe bed. I am a retailer in Canada. Memory foam is a support foam only it has to be supported by another product. IE High density poly, Latex coils. our most luxurious bed is 11' of Tallalay latex. |
