Motion transfer with latex mattress
| I know that latex mattresses are SUPPOSED to dampen the motion of the other person in bed, but that is not the experience we are having. I had no idea how much my partner tossed and turned until we got this mattress. I can feel his every movement and it's not like he's a large person (155 lbs). It's almost like being in a water bed. We bought an Englander basic laytex mattress (according to the sales person it is about 35 ILD). It's 8 or 9 inches thick. No point in mentioning which model, as I know the game mattress stores play by making up their own names... Anyway, has anyone else had this problem? There seem to be a lot of latex fans on this forum. Could it be our (slat) bed? They have a 90 day "comfort exchange" so that we could trade it in for something else. It is otherwise a very comfortable set-up with a 2 inch memory foam topper. Thanks for any feedback. |
Re: Motion transfer with latex mattress
| Yes, trying the mattress on the floor is a good idea. It's probably the only way to eliminate whether it's the bed or not... The mattress we bought is 85% latex and 15% other foam - a little on the sides I think and also in the quilted top. I did see that the mattress from That Mattress Place had a lot less latex in them, which could explain some of the poor reviews. I don't quite see how this one could be inferior to other natural latex mattresses though. |

We've got a Flobed w/ the split cores and at the moment 36ILD all natural on a slat platform bed. My wife moves around considerably in her sleep and I barely feel it at all, unlike our old S&F innerspring. |
