SleepEZ firmness question for SleepEZ owners?
|
I am the victim of S brand mattress that has turned into a hammock after less then two years. Even though the mattress looks good, when I lay on it my middle bottoms out and I get a strained lower back and I wake up hot, sweaty and tired. During my many nights of waking up at 3 in the morning I usually go to the computer and do mattress research. This forum has been the greatest help by far. Because of my research I have decided to go with a:
My wife is 5'6" 150 lbs back / side sleeper. Both of us are in reasonable shape and both of us also suffer from lower back issues What we are looking for is the firmness of a Westin Heavenly bed and the feel of a Costco memory foam topper. I like to lay flat with the pillowy layer on top. I realize that latex has a different feel but this maybe gives you a general idea of what we want. I gave SleepEZ a call and Shawn recommended a Firm / Medium / Soft mattress on both sides. I would buy a Natura mattress locally but the cost would be roughly $3000. Because I live in Canada and the added expense of shipping I want to order and get it right the first time: Here are my questions:

| We have a Natura dealer near us that I will go back to. Natura I think will be a little harder to find out their ILD and who makes their Talalay. |

Hey Tug, I also live in Canada ... sounds like you live close to Toronto as I. The Natura and Obasan products are nice but cost a small fortune ... shame really as I would like to support a Canadian company, but will look to the USA for a better price. I am also considering SleepEZ and possibly something from www.foambymail.com BillB has done an excellent and I believe non-biased review of his purchase from them. As you know, after calculating the shipping, and duty, and taxes and conversion rate it gets pricey! I recommend looking at www.foamite.com which is in Vaughan, ON just next to Toronto. He has MANY models you can go and flop on all of the beds and get a mattress made for you. I would consider buying something from him if he had a sale ... but at least I was able to lie down on a bed or three and get an idea of ILD's. Good to know that ILD will vary from manufacturer. You might also want to look at the "Euroslat" to put your bed on. Your wife and your height/weight are close to my wife and I and she always feels movement when I roll over because my S brand has also hammocked. This will give you further support where you need it and I believe isolate more motion transfer. |

Yes I would like to support Canadian but haven't found a similar company to SleepEZ or Flobeds in Canada. I looked up the company's you mentioned and yes the price is to high and I just don't trust a lot of the latex manufactures enough to order sight unseen. The beauty of this forum is that you have the feed back of other people who are in the same boat and have experienced the sleeping on a Latex International bed. I am going to go back and lay on the Natura beds and try and find out the ILD's and the source of their beds. By the way I live in Kelowna BC. A little father from Toronto. I will keep you up to date. |
