I bought this mattress from an excellent local manufacturer and have slept on it for 3 nights. The coils are very thick and have 2" of talalay latex on top (see other layers also in the link.) Will this bed soften up? It's too hard/firm right now. Also, there is a layer of "polyester". Bad? http://gardnermattress.com/ivoryquilted.html Based on things Budgy has said about pocket coils taking a bad rap these days because of all the imported lousy ones, I'm wondering if I should switch to the below pocket coil because all their metal is from Legat. I'm 130 lbs and a stomach and side sleeper. My current (above) mattress is nice and firm for my stomach sleeping and I love that it probably won't hammock (I can't deal with that again!!) but is a little too firm for my side sleeping. Should I stick with what I have and hope it softens a little for side sleeping? Is it better to start a little too firm and keep the inner spring and get a topper if it doesn't soften? http://gardnermattress.com/PocketedCoil.html Another concern: I spend an hour a night laying on stomach, digging elbows into bed reading (I know, not good, but I have to do it to fall asleep.) Will pocket coils survive that better than inner springs? I don't want the inner springs to lump up, esp at a low count and low gauge. Thank you! |

I'd keep the mattress for nearly the length of the sleep trial but I'd call and let the seller know that so far you are not happy with it but are willing to try it the full trial period. Then decide at that time if you need to change it. I don't know enough about pocket coils to advise you about them. I do know that mattresses get less firm over time, but sometimes (like with me and Dunlop) they are so firm I know I will never tolerate them. If it's just a little too firm, it might soften up just right. If it's way too firm then you will probably not ever like it. IMHO. |
