I feel like I'm taking advantage of everyone's mattress knowledge but I keep having friends ask me mattress related questions I can't answer! For example: My best friend in Port St John, FL (near Melbourne and Orlando) didn't know better and bought a S & F pillowtop last year from a Sears Outlet. It was obviously a comfort exchange and they started sinking in a week's time. I told her about "mattress surgery" which I learned about here! She's going to cut off her topper and if that doesn't cure the dip in the middle, she going to open the top and pull out all the compressed foam. (I've already had her check the frame and it has a supported middle bar). They are hot heavy people but due to past surgeries she and her husband need pressure point relief. He also has a new cancer diagnosis.They are side sleepers. They don't have much too spend and I would love to find a foam outlet in the area or on the internet that could supply a good quality topper, both a flat and eggcrate topper so we can build the mattress up from the springs. The cost of latex is out of the question for them. I found a great PU foam eggcrate topper myself at a foam outlet near my house and it has lasted 10 years without any breakdown. But it is entirely different than what you purchase retail: denser and about 3 inches thick. The sellers don't know the ILD but it is quality foam that is close to furniture grade, my guess. Any ideas and knowledge would be greatly appreciated. I never realized a little mattress knowledge could bless so many friends. I guess you guys who'be been around her awhile knew that already didn't you?! |
