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!)

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!
