Hello people, I am a newcomer to fancy beds (not innersprings). I would like to get suggestions as to what could be possiblities for me. My statsistics are as follows: 6.2 male, 230 pounds, sleep on the sides like majority of population, and acquired low back injury as a result of an unfortunate accident at a doctors office! I have a sealy posterpedic now that is causing me pain on my joints when I wake up, don't know why is that? My requirements are that my poor body needs a soft sleeping surface that does not hurt my body when I lay on it. Since I am almost 230 pounds of mass, I do not want to sink to the bottom of the mattress. I have read some posts on this forum but almost all of them seem to say they have some big problematic situations with their latex beds. I have not come across any posts that are saying glorious things about their latex beds. I would like to add that my cousin has a temperpedic - Rhapsody bed that I have slept on but my body says it is too firm for its liking. well if any of you are happy with your latex beds, do please let know what I should or shouldn't buy. let me know about from whom should I buy. Your time and effort is highly appreciated. Frustrated soul. (My god they don't make good beds in America, this process is much harder then finding a loving wife or a nicely valued quality used car!. what is this country coming to? people are sleeping on metal springs with a crappy layer of thin polyurethane as a padding!)

That is a fantasic post. I am puzzled by what you wrote about SleepEz. See my other post "sleepEz told me this" Accodring to sleepEz their dunlop and natural talalay ILDS are like that. Can you reply if that is true? Because you are saying ILds for soft dunlop (is it dunlop or talalay?) is 23 but SleepEz told me that it is 20. Look at other ILDS I listed and tell me how come your ILDS of Dunlop(Natural talalay) are different then what SleepEZ told me? SleepEz recommened me their model 13000 all dunlop mattress for my weight/size/sleeping position/soft sleeping surface etc. Soft dunlop over medium dunlop over firm dunlop over Extra firm dunlop. Do you think this will give me a soft sleeping surface with a firm support? Again thank you for all the info. simple invaluable. I pulled my numbers from their website (here: http://www.sleepez.com/latex-mattress-10000.htm). They actually give ranges, ie 22-24 ILD for soft, I just picked the middle number to simplify. It's possible they have changed and not updated their website; you can ask them. I am someone who doesn't find Sleepez's soft to be soft enough (I have a 16 ILD topper on order), but this is very individual. Your best bet is to find stores that carry latex and see what YOU Like... Steve This message was modified Feb 15, 2011 by st3v3k4hn

TALALAY LATEX IN THE RANGE Soft 22-24 medium 30-32 firm 38-40 Xfirm 44 So Shawn at SleepEZ is not giving me CORRECT information. And you after 2 years you have not been able to make your SleepEZ latex bed comfortable. ADIOS BYE BYE SLEEPEZ. |

Side sleepers over 6 feet tall, above 200 pounds:200-230 pounds and having low back pain please tell me what kind of latex bed did you buy if any. In short, do tell what bed has been satisfactory to you whetether it is latex bed or a memory foam bed. Thanks in advance. |

what happened to my post? Yes, I might add that I like a to surface that is soft and cushy you know not firm or even medium feel. |

my 2 cents, why overpay for some perfect vision of comfort that does not exist. I am 54 yrs old, 6'2" - 220 lbs, lower back pain that is in remission but still occurs if I don't sleep on my side primarily no matter what the mattress is. I also stretch my back at least 3 times per week at the gym. I use mid level firmness regular spring beds, pillow top, usually test them in a sleepy's or equivalent, then purchase online. Purchasing closeout models online can usually pay under $1000. Just bought one via Presidents day sales for $770 including delivery. |

JP, Which mattress did you end up buying and from what store? What are the specs (size, coil count, coil gauge, layers inside)? Do you like it? I sent you a PM as well. thanks! |
