Shawn recommended F/M/S so I went with that, but I just spent some time on a ReNu bed (latex layers on top soy foam). I was told it was medium firmness, and it felt perfect. Not too hard, not too smushy with plenty of support. They had one firmer and one softer, both felt wrong to me. The salesman couldn't tell me anything about the firmness level of the latex, which there really is NOT much of anyway, but this, plus reading of other people's recent latex bed purchases, I'm wondering if I would be better off with XF/F/M. This is the natural Talalay, btw. I'd be interested to know how others were able to choose what was best for them before trying, and how they fared.
Also - twin XL sheets and mattress protectors are almost impossible to find in stores around here! |

It is nice to have an XF to play with, but I also remember that the SleepEZ bed does not come with a soft topper. You will most likely need that for the top right below the cover, as the cover might not have enough padding for you. I might of dropped the M, but remember you can exchange if you find it too soft. I did find the same Twin XL mattress protector online for about $30 shipped from bedroomfurniture.com using bing cashback. They are good so far. Did you get dual king or a single twin? Nice bed! |

Thanks for the link. My advice: Don't worry. Wait and see if you like it. If you don't, make adjustments. Worrying won't help a bit. |

I am so happy that you decided, it seems like several posters here have made latex mattress purchases lately. I think you made the right choice, as someone else said you don't have the convoluted piece (which may or may not be a good thing) so you do need something cushy to stop pressure points. You can always put the soft underneath the medium if you need to. You have to try something first, you just never know what will work or not till you try. Please keep us posted even after 6 months or a year. |

Hey thanks, those do look nice.
I'm wrestling with myself this morning, thinking maybe I should change my order, or maybe even upgrade to the 13,000 for the flexibility of adding an extra firm layer in there. Also, for fututre-proofing against the very real possibility of more middle-age weight gain.
ETA: I really HATE being that person about this subject. This message was modified May 14, 2010 by cynicaljones

Thanks for you patience with me, everyone.|
Cynicaljones, well you had better decide quick because they probably already are shipping it out today! You can always order more latex layers later, but your mattress cover will not hold it! You can put it over the mattress cover if desperate, but you better decide quick if you want it inside the cover. Good luck. You sound like me making decisions, I did that in school with tests too. If I changed the answer after I decided it was wrong I usually was wrong and shouldn't have changed my mind. It would be nice to have all the answers and know the right thing to do, but I usually don't know..... |
| Yes, I was sort of too late. It hadn't left yet, but was boxed and ready to go. I'm going to just stay with what I've got and have a nice weekend NOT worrying about my soon-to-be bed. |

Hey, been offline for a few days but just noticed you ordered a Sleepez! The configuration you ordered is the same one I got for my daughter. She is liking it better now, finds it comfortable, and I hope you will like yours as well! I wouldn't worry too much about your initial order. The beauty of these mattress kits is that you will be able to make an adjustment if you need to. It's a fine bed and should give you many years of comfortable sleep. Once you get the bed, may I suggest you sleep on it for at least 1-2 weeks before making a decision about whether it is too firm. Our bodies need some time to adjust to the new sleep surface. Let us know when you receive it and keep us posted on how you're getting along with it. |
