I bought this mattress from an excellent local manufacturer and have slept on it for 3 nights. The coils are very thick and have 2" of talalay latex on top (see other layers also in the link.) Will this bed soften up? It's too hard/firm right now. Also, there is a layer of "polyester". Bad? http://gardnermattress.com/ivoryquilted.html Based on things Budgy has said about pocket coils taking a bad rap these days because of all the imported lousy ones, I'm wondering if I should switch to the below pocket coil because all their metal is from Legat. I'm 130 lbs and a stomach and side sleeper. My current (above) mattress is nice and firm for my stomach sleeping and I love that it probably won't hammock (I can't deal with that again!!) but is a little too firm for my side sleeping. Should I stick with what I have and hope it softens a little for side sleeping? Is it better to start a little too firm and keep the inner spring and get a topper if it doesn't soften? http://gardnermattress.com/PocketedCoil.html Another concern: I spend an hour a night laying on stomach, digging elbows into bed reading (I know, not good, but I have to do it to fall asleep.) Will pocket coils survive that better than inner springs? I don't want the inner springs to lump up, esp at a low count and low gauge. Thank you! |
