New mattress - soy-poly core, 2" talalay latex, celsion latax layer, 2" support foam - good or bad choice? your opinions...
| We just purchased a mattress with these specifications: 2" talalay latex top, next layer celsion latex, then 2" natural support foam, then 6" bio-flex soy-poly core. I loved it in the store, but now hate sitting on it as the edges crush a lot. I also have not had a decent night sleep in the 4 nights since we got it. Last night I moved to a chair and ottoman to sleep. Did I make a horrific mistake in buying this mattress? I have not had pressure points, however my back is in the most pain I have had in some time. The mattress was suppose to be breathable and I sleep so hot I can't stand it. The depressions in the mattress also seem excessive. My husband and I are large - 250 lbs each approx. Please post any and all information about the composition of this mattress and suggestions. We bought from a store where we can only return once and then it is for a different mattress from their store. I have spent months researching and trying to decide what to purchase and am SO frustrated that it seems I have made a really bad choice. We spent $1400 and really cannot afford a more expensive model. Bed shopping has been more frustrating than any other purchase in my entire lifetime. Maybe we need legislation to make comparison shopping easier and labeling the same from store to store. |

| Honestly, despite all the rage for Latex/Memory foam mattresses, I don't find them the right fit for heavier people (such as myself). I suggest to buy a FIRM Spring mattress, and then add a Latex topper for comfort. I am planning the same for myself. Foam just never had enough support for my weight (230). |

| As a heavier person, I am very comfortable on a 44,36,28 ILD talalay latex foam mattress (individual layers) topped by 3" of sensus memory foam. I think the latex has to be pretty firm and ideally three layers of support and one comfort layer for larger people. But that's simply my experience. Your mileage may vary. |

| I am a heavy person too. The latex needs to be firm. I have three layers of 36 ILD blended Talalay latex, with the 2" soft convoluted topper. This setup provides plenty of support for my weight and my bad back. |
