Hello:

I just come across this forum on internet.

I bought this Spring Air mattress that is supposed to be soft. At least that is how it felt in the store. But I have had horrible sleep on it.

First day I slept on it with just sheets and down I went and woke with lots of pains. Well I kept waking every half an hour so very very broken sleep.

 

Next day I have put this dormeir wool pad on it and the mattress is now feelinga bit  firmer but I am still sinking in it and but I still got very bad sleep. 

 

My knees and hands are hurting besides my low and middle back. Also my neck  is hurting.  I also have neck pains now. My pilliows are thick for neck support supposedly. I am feeling i need a different pillows now for this mattress.

 

This mattress has 6 inches of latex on 8 inches of soy foam.

The latex is 2 inch of celsion talalay then it is 1 inch of dunlop and then again it is 3 inches of talalay.

Then it all rests on 8 inches of soy foam. What the hell is soy foam anyway?

  

First 2 days on the mattress and it does not at all feel the way it felt while in the store. Actually it feels very different.

I had little or very bad sleep since last 2 days I have been sleeping on this.

 

The maker told me that I should give a break in period. What the hell is break in period anyway? some mumbo jumbo?

I already have a hard time finding deep pocketed sheets for this 14 inch mattress.

what should I do?

help please. Thanks so much.

If you can take it back, do that, and start over.  If I were you, I would use the search function to look for latex mattress manufacturers who will build you a custom all latex mattress.  Yes, you will pay more.  Flo Beds, Custom Sleep Design, Sleepez, Arizona Premium Mattress.  Many of them advertise on this forum.

Here are a couple of threads to get you started:   http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/latex-foam-search/18334-A-1.html

I would go back to the store and demand my money back.  Make a scene if you have to.  I don't see any reason why the mattress should feel any different than the store model.  Surely your sleeping(or trying to) on it so far must've equalled the time spent on that one in the store. 

I don't know what soy foam is...sounds very gimmicky to me.

Latex is good.  But you need support underneath, which obviously the soy isn't.

Try a store that makes your mattress by hand...on the premises is good...then you can see what you buy.  IMO, mattresses started going bad when they started using more foam, cheaper foam, less qualtiy things like cotton batting and good springs.
