Hi, I purchased a Sleep EZ 10,000 (which has 3 layers of 3" latex). I'm still trying to find the right setup. Shawn at SleepEZ has been helpful, but I also want to get input from folks on this forum with latex experience. I'm a back sleeper. #1 requirement is firm support, otherwise I get lower back pain. #2 is cushion on top for pressure relieve. Below are the setups I have tried, from best to worse. 1. Top=Firm Talalay Blend, Middle=Firm Dunlop, Bottom=Firm Dunlop. Firm is 38-40ILD. Support: Almost there, but my entire body is at a small angle, with my buttocks at the bottom; so I wake up with tightness in lower back. Pressure relieve: Good. 2. Top=Firm Dunlop, Middle=Firm Dunlop, Bottom=Firm Dunlop. Support: Excellent. Pressure relieve: Poor, I wake up with sort shoulders and neck. 3. Top=Medium Talalay Blend, Middle=Firm Dunlop, Bottom=Firm Dunlop. Support: Doesn't work. Too soft. 4. I have tried other setups using the existing layers where the firm is at the top and medium is at the middle or bottom. Those do not work as I want a firm base and softer top. Any suggestions on what I can do to improve on this setup? My thoughts are to change #1 to Top=Firm Talalay Blend, Middle/Bottom=Extra Firm Dunlop (start 1 layer swap-out ). I appreciate your suggestions and advice. |

slatted bed base looks good, thanks! We're planning on getting a king and most likely from sleepez. Do you have suggestions on what to put the slatted bed base on? We were also looking at the flobeds euroslats, but it is a lot more $$. ( $779) http://www.flobeds.com/product_details.htm?ID=7037EK

I slept first night on the Ikea Sultan Laxeby euro slat bed base. It fit straight onto the metal bedframe, just needed to add a prop at foot for a day. It's really good! I can adjust firmness in hips and shoulder area. Price is low, but quality is good with Ikea.

I could see foundation was sagging a bit in middle. I tried the standard wood foundation form SleepEZ, but I don't get along with rigid pine slats. It firmed up the mattress a bit and too much pushback in shoulder area for me. But the euroslat base is much better and I like the low cost. I'm in process of retrofitting the wood foundation so I can drop the euro slat bed base onto it. it's going to work! |
