I'm very happy to have found this site. My wife and I have not bought a mattress for over 10 years and we are lost. We've also never bought a bed online but have seen that there have been many happy customers so we're willing to give it a shot if there is a decent return policy. We're reading about various mattresses and there is soooooo much information out there. I was wondering if someone could give me information on the pros/cons regarding latex, memory foam, innerspring, adjustable, and all the varous types that fall under those categories. It is quite overwhelming!! I (160lbs) have some neck issues and my wife (130 lbs) has back issues if that helps. She is also a stomach sleeper and I sleep every which way. We're willing to make an investment in a quality bed if it means a good nights sleep for the next 10 years but would be happy to save as much money as possible, as always. Any help is appreciated!! - R |
>>(ILD is the firmness factor for latex; it's actually a density factor but we can call it "firmness" for practical terms.) ILD (or IFD) is a force measurement. 25% ILD is a measure of 'surface firmness'. This article has a nice short discussion of foam firmness and support. GK |
