Hi,

I’m interested in getting a new latex mattress.  I’m looking for some recommendations.  Here are the details.

1)      Looking for an Eastern King to sit on our current solid wood platform.

2)      Side one sleeper is 6’1” tall and 200lbs, big shoulders and thin waist.  Sleeps on side and thinks he likes it soft.  Trouble spot is shoulders seemly don’t sink enough and are always uncomfortable.

3)      Side two sleeper is 5’2” tall and 95lbs, petite.  Sleeps on stomach and thinks she likes it firm. Hates memory foam, we tried it once and she got a back ache.

4)      Looking for high quality.

What do you think?

Thanks…Jim

Thanks,  I'll head on over there and see if I can figure out a starting config.

Jimbo...

I concur. For a zoned latex mattress, you can't really beat flobeds, though you may want to give foamsweetfoam a look too.

Well I pulled the trigger on the Flobed.  I think I read almost every post here about Flobeds.  I hope the initial conifg is on the money.  I went with vzone on my side and normal four layers on her side.  My side is vzone/frim/xfrim; I think her side is going to be soft/medium/firm.  The latex is the non-blended stuff. I’m putting it on a solid wood base, they definitely don’t like this.  They say you can get mold if the air circulation is not good.  I’m still thinking about this.

Everyone thanks for all the info in this forum, I’ll report back after I get it.

Jimbo…
