Mattress for "larger frame" couple
|
My husband and I are both on the larger side...he weighs approx 350 and I weight 250. We can not find a mattress that works for us. I had a tempurpedic when we met and he hated it. So we sold it and got a much softer pillowtop mattress. Now we sink and I end up rolling into him. Does anyone have any ideas? Our plan is to buy a new mattress set when we get our income tax return. Thanks! |

I second the suggestion that you try a latex bed. I'm heavy (although hubby is not) and have an extra firm latex bed. At your weight you don't want one of those pillowtop things. The PU foam is just going to break down and you'll end up with craters. Best bet is to contact one of these reputable latex mattress sellers: Flobeds Sleepez Sleeplikeabear uh . . . SavvyRest and talk to them about your weight, preferred sleeping position, and any issues you may have (e.g. hip, back, or shoulder pain sleeping at night) and see what they suggest. I know that I started off believing I wanted a soft mattress (well, I still WANT a soft mattress) and finding out that I NEEDED a very firm mattress with enough resiliance to provide pressure relief for my hips. This is what latex does best. Don't pay attention to sager. I've never read him be anything but rude to people. Idk why he lurks on this board other than to snipe at people. |

Actually my husband is a body builder and yes I am just fat. Thanks for that....I really appreciate it. |
