Hello, I stumbled upon this board last week looking for info . I went looking for info because, a couple weeks ago my lower back started hurting really bad upon waking in the morning. I thought it was from work. I noticed that my wifes side of the bed felt better so I discovered that my side was worn. So I flipped the mattress and after sleeping that night I had almost no back pain the next day. I know that this wont last much longer so I decided I need a new mattress. The mattress I have now is from customcomfort here in socal. I bought one the most inexpensive ones they had in 2005 so it lasted a good 4 years it was around 300.00 It has > Medium Coil > Fiber Inner Body Padding > Quilted Plush Top Well after reading the many posts here I would like to go the DIY route, Im not knocking customcomfort, I just think I can get more for my money by DIY surgery. I like jimsocal's idea as he has a coil mattress and put the sensus, latex, HR foam. I see the sensus at overstock, the latex talalay at a few places sleeplikebear, sleepez, and foambymail huge difference in price, but I dont see the 1"HR foam could someone tell me where to purchase that. If i go with FBM for the talalay and overstocks sensus that puts the cost at 220.00 not bad. I'll post pics when I start this. |

| thanks for the replies, I decided to go with a 2" sensus topper it just arrived today via ups , it stinks bad , unable to sleep on it so im airing it out in a different room. I ordered a 1" latex topper from sleeplikeabear on their ebay store 167.46 shipped, now I need the HR foam and a mattress cover. I understand the advice in your replies but I just dont have the $1000+ to spend on a mattress |
